As most already know, we had some baby excitement the weekend after Thanksgiving. in the end, it was not meant to happen, as much as we were up and down with what was happening (contractions, et al). This past week (Week 35 in pregnancy time frame) has been interesting because Amy has been on maternity leave and I have had to go back into work. Its difficult, being so far away (on a good day, my commute is just over an hour, averaging about an hour and a half, one way), wondering if something is going to happen while I am at work. One good thing that came out of our little test run is that we have a better idea of what to have packed, for Amy, Devlin, and even myself. We know about how long it takes to get to the hospital, and we have been able to lock down a game plan with our good friends John & brie as well as my Mom, all of whom live close or relatively so. Now, as we move into Week 36 (officially hitting that marker this coming Tuesday), I find myself almost regularly asking Amy how she feels. I have maintained for some time now that this would be the week Keira and Liam arrive, so I am doubly on edge now and really hate being here at work while Amy holds down the fort, so to speak.
Bags are packed. Plans are in place. Infant car seats ordered should arrive today. A boatload of clothes from various contributors are ready. We just need those two kids to get here already!
