Preparing for Camp's Arrival

Well, it's almost time for Camp to make his arrival and I have been working like a mad woman to prepare. This week, the floors have been vacuumed, the clothes have all been washed, the tubs have been cleaned, the house has been dusted, the silverware drawer has been cleaned, the kitchen has been detailed, the bathrooms have been scrubbed, all of our files and financial documents have been reorganized and cleaned out, we are stocked up on all our personal care items, all of our medications have been filled, everyone's bag is packed and in the van for the hospital, Camp's room is complete, the carseat is in the van, the van has been washed, the refridgerator has been cleaned out, and I am ready for this Baby to COME!!!


As of this morning, I am 1 cm dilated and measuring one week ahead of where I am suppose to be. From my original due date I should be measuring at 36 weeks, but I am measuring to be 37. Which could mean one of two things. One, Camp is going to be a big baby or two, I am further along than what they originally thought. If I am 37 weeks rather than 36 weeks that means Camp could be coming to visit us very soon. YEA!!!! I delivered Emma Claire at 37 weeks and a couple of days so, hopefully, he will follow in his big sister's footsteps.

As we approach Camp's arrival please remember to keep Emma Claire in your prayers. She will beginning school next week with new teachers and new classmates and also welcoming the arrival of her new baby brother very soon. This will be a very big transition for her and for mommy and daddy. For us, please pray that we have wisdom in parenting two children rather than one, patience, and endurance to keep up with them both.

We can't wait for Baby Camp to get here!!!
