So there are about 10 days till this baby's due date. Well, technically 11 but since today is almost over, I am saying 10. I am definitely feeling a little (ok- a lot) overwhelmed when it comes to handing off my job responsibilities, but other than that, I think we are ready. Maybe I should define "ready." We have a place for her to sleep with clean sheets. That's all. Oh wait, we thankfully have some clothes people got us. Ok, now that's all. But I am pretty sure that means we are ready. I mean, that is what it is supposed to be like for a second child right? Her clothes are currently in Nelson's dresser,
I did get the car seat out finally (although someone thinks it is a big toy)
and we found some old pacifiers that I made sure to clip on with her brother's old paci clip.
Meanwhile, Tripp's love of little guys has continued to blossom and now he has a "suitcase" to keep them contained (although I am not sure what will happened when a little baby goes through the "let's put every small thing in our mouths" phase).
and I have been doing some baking. Thankfully, Nelson found an awesome recipe for pumpkin pie in my America's Test Kitchen cookbook and it resulted in one of the best pumpkin pies ever.
Now, I don't exactly have the energy to type it all up here, so if you want the recipe for the best pumpkin ever, you probably need to go check the cookbook out from the library or just buy it because you will have some of the best recipes to everything imaginable.
And that's about all that we have been up to, except waiting for this little girl to join the family! and we will be sure to keep everyone updated!

Been thinking of you lots lately as this little girl's arrival nears. Glad you're getting ready and doing the important things, like baking pumpkin pie. :) (It looks amazing in the picture - like I could eat it off the screen.) Enjoy these last days, friend!
