The countdown continues. I have less than two weeks until my due date, and this has to be the worst part. :) Eric and I are both just ready to meet this little guy, and are getting pretty antsy. Every time I make a funny noise or say something like "Oh great," he immediately asks if my water broke. We talk on the phone, and the first thing he asks is if I'm in labor. It's kind of funny, yet it's also gettting to be too much. Since I'm just as excited, always commenting about when it will happen makes it seem even more like it will never happen. We tend to think about it all the time, which doesn't help.
I am staying pretty active over the next couple weeks though. That will make the time pass more quickly. Plus I've heard that the more you stay active, the more likely you are to begin labor. We are going on a field trip for work on Thursday, going to the zoo on Saturday, a large family get together on Sunday, and a Mud Hens game on Monday. I figure if I haven't walked him out by then, he is just too stubborn. :)
As far as our house goes, we're pretty much prepared. I still have a few last minute things I want to get taken care of, but my mom and dad are coming out tomorrow, and Mom is staying until the baby is born, so I can put her to work helping me! I want to clean out my cupboards and do a thorough sweep/dust/bathroom cleaning yet.
One day at a time.....

That desire to clean is the nesting stage. That means baby Smeltzer will be here soon. :) Those last few weeks do go by slow but enjoy them! You will look back in a month or two and wonder where the time went. We will be praying for a safe, healthy and speedy delivery! :) ~Love you, Meri
