Can you believe it?

I have 2 days till this little guy comes!  Where has the time gone?  I feel so unprepared but yet organized.  Weird, I know.  Some things are stressing me out. . .

1.  We still don't have a name, but that doesn't surpirise me at all.  With the other two it was like this.  The birth certificate lady comes in and says we need a name before your little guy can go home.  David and I look at each other and say, "Luke?" "Luke!" "Luke it is!"  Very similar situation with Logan also.

2.  I feel very unprepared to bring a new baby home.  I think because we have not one single thing in our house that is baby.  Logan has been out of diapers for almost a year.  No diaper bag, no baby toys, no crib, nothing.  My dear friend Laura just this evening dropped off her really cool swing so we do have a place for the baby to lay. Whew!

3.  I'm worried the baby will be smothered by his brothers.  They are so excited!  Beyond thrilled and just keep talking about picking up the baby and holding him.  They are not gentle be any means.  That is going to have to be lesson #1 being gentle.

4.  I'm missing my favorite holiday!  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!  I love being around my family, talking, reminicing about old times, catching up on the latest news and eating a traditonal Thanksgiving dinner.  This year we celebrated Thanksgiving early with Dave's family and it was anything but traditonal.  To say the least I was a little disappointed.  This year my Mom and Dad are going to my cousin Chris' house in Camarillo for Thanksgiving and taking the boys with them since I will be in the hospital.  I love my cousin's the Johnson's and am feeling so sad I don't get to see everyone.  Dave and I did decide though that we would order a Thanksgiving meal for 2 from Claim Jumper to ease my pain.  Did I ever mention I love my hubby!  He is the best!

5.  Last but not least.  I don't get to go black friday shopping.  I LOVE BLACK FRIDAY SHOPPING!  It seriously thrills me!  Hopefully I will be able to do some shopping online in the comfort of my home with my 3 sons!  (Que the My 3 Sons theme song now!)

Well stay tuned for pictures and updates for the arrival of Didlake #5!
