11 days to go. I'm at the point where I want to be done being pregnant. I don't long for the painful recovery but I'd rather it be over sooner rather than later. I'm trying to tie up all my loose ends and gets all my ducks in a row. I've planned my bulk shopping trip, cleaned out and organized my pantry, fridge and freezer in preparation. I've begun meal planning but if I find some awesome deals while at the store, they might need some tweaking. My hospital bag is mostly packed. My childcare plan is set for everyday the week I'm in the hospital, even though they keep changing Danny's schedule. So whatever he's working he's covered and somebody might get a break in there somewhere. It's all coming together and I am feeling the homestretch coming up! WOOT WOOT! I am excited. Can't wait to meet this little girl.
We had Joey's birthday party last weekend and it was a blazing success. Danny made duct tape crowns for the craft. The kids (and adults) all decorated their own cupcakes. (I totally picked that as to not have to figure out how to decorate a cake). It was awesome and the kids loved it and I got to be a lazy momma and enjoy the party.

Fun was had by all. And even though it was a 90 degree day, there was an awesome breeze and we all were able to sit in the shade. It was actually cooler feeling outside than it was inside (can I just say, I love summer days like that).
What a great birthday! Joey is darling. Love her carrot hair and that sweet, sweet dress and crown. What a good mama, makin' so special...right before her sister arrives. Hope that everything falls into place and that you feel thick layers of peace settle as you are handed your second daughter for the first time. :)
