I am a horrible blogger. I just can't find the motivation to sit and put my thoughts down.
We're at 33 weeks and counting, the little nugget will be here before we know it. It's funny how the second time around we are so much more laid back in regards to all the gear you have to get. Granted, since Boy is only 2 we have mostly everything we need, except for the big stuff. I did order a crib and snagged a double stroller for a deal but nothing has been put together yet. Last time we set the nursery up months in advance and then watched it collect dust waiting for the little guy to arrive. By the time he was born everything had to be rewashed and hung back up. So, this time it's a little more go with the flow. It's an attitude I've been forced to adapt to and had to realize I control very little around me anymore.
I remember sitting in childbirth classes two years ago and hearing the instructor tell us that we had very little control over the birthing process and the sooner we accepted that the better. At first I thought it was a bit harsh, but after my birthing experience was not at all what I planned aside from holding that beautiful baby at the end, I realized that she was dead on. Things get a lot easier once you realize there are some things you just can't control and you spend less time mourning your expected results and more time embrace the outcomes.
