Yes, the prego counter says 9 days!

WOW! Where has the time gone? I still can't believe this will happen. I have not even packed a bag. Some friends say I am in denial that this little boy will grace us with his presence. Adam wants me to pack it just in case I go into serious labor in the middle of the night. I did buy over night shampoo and conditioner and stuff. That's a step.

For those of you who don't know but I am going to be induced on the 24th so my parents' can be here to love on Elizabeth. It stressed me out switching from one friend to another over 2-3 day period. I already know this transition can and will be difficult for her. I am feeling bittersweet about it all. First, that Elizabeth will no longer be the only "love" in the house or family. Second, I am super excited to see what Seth looks like and to have him join our family. I will post pics as soon as possible.

Less than we think!!

Adam and I came to the decision that my parents need to be here before I go to the hospital. Meaning I am going to be induced. I have heard numerous bad experience stories but still feel this is the best route. I was speaking with a friend at church who is due in May and also has no family in town. And she is going to be induced and did not understand why I wasn't. So I am. Now I have to figure out the date. The doc and I will chat tomorrow about days after he checks me out. We are getting closer than we think.

Other big news is we did find some more houses we like that are not as far as some others and in safe neighborhoods and zoned for good schools. As we were looking I had to remind myself I live in a city. Not a suburb with suburban schools. All of the schools with Nashville in its address is part of the public school system which does not have a good reputation. I should say only has a fair reputation. Most families send their kids to private schools. There are private schools for every denomination and the some. However it does not make it cheap or free. I have not taken pics in awhile. Will post some soon.
