36 days and counting.   That is how many days we have left until our due date.  I can’t believe that so much time has went by already.  It seems like just yesterday that my wife was waking me up, at all hours of the morning, to tell me the news.  Time sure does fly by fast.

We have attended two of our baby classes.  They have been pretty informative, and also a little slow at times.  I can’t say that I haven’t learned anything though, because I have, but they just tend to drag on a bit and repeat the same things over and over and over.  We only have two more left, and I honestly think those are going to be beneficial.  The one next week we get to take a tour of the hospital, and the week after that is about how to take care of the newborn.  They should be interesting.

We are also at the point where doctor’s visits happen every two weeks.  We have another one next Thursday, and then pretty soon, the visits will be once a week.  I’m happy to report that everything is just as it should be up to this point.  Mom is in good shape, and the baby is in excellent condition as well.

The wife has been a bit uncomfortable as of late.  She isn’t sleeping well, and normal everyday tasks are becoming harder and harder.  I’m sure she is ready for little Abby to be out at this point.  I’m ready for her to arrive as well.

I have been cleaning the house like a mad man.  I know that nesting happens to women, but all of a sudden this last week I have had a crazy urge to clean things.  It isn’t too unusual for me, because I have some slight OCD anyway, but I don’t usually feel a need to straighten or clean like I have been lately.  The bonus of that, though, is that the house looks great.  The baby room is almost complete as well.  Actually, it is complete, but we still want to finish some decorating before we take pictures.  I will share those when it is done.

The other thing we have been doing is contemplating the spelling of Abigail’s name.  We aren’t sure if we want the shortened version to be Abby, or Abbey, or Abbie.  I’m sure we’ll figure that out before she gets here, but for now it is still in committee.

We are definitely in the home stretch of the this baby thing, and the wife and I can not wait for the little one to arrive.  We are excited, happy, scared, and absolutely terrified all at the same time.  It is going to be great though, and we are looking forward to meeting our little Abigail.
