Orbit G2

So after months of waiting, we finally got our stroller and infant car seat today!  I had pre-ordered it on a recommended site online since the new model wasn't in production yet at the time...  It's been over two months now and I still hadn't received it.  I called them and they told me it'd be another 6 weeks!  Um hello...  I'm due in 3 weeks!  I immediately canceled my order and called Magic Beans and luckily they still had the G2 in stock in the color we wanted so we went to pick it up today...  Freddie was getting anxious and was nagging me everyday about where the stroller/car seat was...  When we got home, he stayed in the garage and put everything together and even installed the car seat base in my car...  He brought up the stroller and car seat into the living room and was like "now we have everything we need...!"  I guess in his mind that was the last piece.  Yes I know it's important since you can't leave the hospital without a car seat, but I could see the relief in his face and voice...  I have a feeling he's going to be a worrywart and hopefully he won't drive me and the baby mad!

We also stopped by BRU today to pick up the baby monitor.  We ended up getting a different model than what I had researched because they didn't have it.  I think it'll be good enough still...  It has a 7 inch LCD screen so we can see him when he's upstairs and an extra audio monitor...  I figure knowing me, I'll be running up and down the stairs regardless!   Let's hope not, but I'm sure I'll be paranoid the first few weeks or even months...

As the due date nears, a million thoughts race through my mind daily.  The wonder of what it's going to be like...  How both Freddie and I will react and adjust to our new lifestyle...  How neurotic or laid back I'll be with the baby...  What that moment will be like when I first meet him...  When is my labor going to begin?  Is my water going to break before I get to the hospital?  I know I need to just chill out, but I can't help it.  He's still moving around non-stop and it's quite painful now that he's bigger and has less room.  I feel more and more pressure daily and walking is becoming increasingly difficult.  I really wonder how long I will be able to continue working FT...
