39w 5d

Still pregnant in case you were wondering. I continue to go on walks everyday and hope that helps things move along. 

I went to the fire station today and had a demo on how to install the car seat correctly so now Bria will be safe. They didn't like my seat protector so she took that off and then installed it in the center, which I originally had wanted it behind the passenger. I think when I show Brian tonight I'm going to put the seat protector under it, I don't see it as a safety hazard, do you? She said they like to install them in the center because of the side impact/air bags. 

So let's revisit my little list:

1. Install car seat-Done
2. Pack hospital bag-In progress (probably will be until we actually leave for the hospital)
3. Buy and hang curtains-Done
4. Hang 3 fabric pieces above crib-Done
5. Organize kitchen
6. Organize guest bedroom

It's looking pretty good, the only thing I really have left to do is clean and organize. We are completely ready for this little girl to come!

I wanted to jot down a few songs that I really like listening to right now, although they tend to make me a bit weepy.  Of course they are all country because country singers love to bring out your emotions. But honestly, you can't tell me these lyrics don't make you well up:

He didn't have to wake up
He'd been up all nite
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
It won't be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty
She's crawling in there bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now don't you worry
This will only last a week or two

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll drop her off
And she won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long

One day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times you'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the isle
And he'll raise her vale
But right now she's up and cry'n
And the truth is that he dont mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows

It wont be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
He's try'n to hold on
It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long

Whew, puts tears in my eyes every time. It's by Darius Rucker and I'm already mentally putting a video together to give to Brian for Father's Day in the future.
A few other songs that get me all emotional:
You're Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins
I Saw God Today by George Strait

Good stuff. 

My first few days off work have been great, I've stayed busy but also relaxed a bit. I've gone grocery shopping, done laundry, had a pedicure, went to the bank, installed the car seat, and took a few naps. It's a little unsettling which I wasn't expecting, I think because I pictured little Bria here :) 

Well I better get to organizing and cleaning...right after lunch :)
