Where did March go?

So I thought I should get in one, final posting during this month since I've been rather pathetic lately! What can I say, we've been busy and I've been exhausted.

The countdown is definitely on for the arrival of Baby Healy #3. Her official due date is April 23, but I'm hoping she'll arrive earlier. Unfortunately, it's not up to me. But my skin is stretched as far as it can stretch and I'm down to maybe 4-5 outfits that fit. I'm more than ready!

Last weekend, I kicked Ken into panic gear Friday by telling him I really thought we should be ready sooner than later. So the next morning, I awoke to find the infant car seat, two bouncy seats, bassinet and swing in the entryway. (We have a big entryway!) He also brought up my suitcase, which still sits unpacked in our bedroom. Still, we are much more prepared now for our newest arrival!

Brendan seems eager to meet her and continues to give my belly kisses and talk to his baby sister. Ryan seems clueless. I try telling him that there's a baby coming, but he doesn't really respond. He does enjoy using my belly as an arm rest or to climb on, however.

My girlfriends gave us a wonderful shower three weeks ago. Our drawers are now packed with baby girl clothes! I was simply overwhelmed by their generosity. My mom and sister also came for the shower, and they must have packed an entire suitcase just for this baby girl.

My goal in the next couple of weeks is to relax more. I've already started doing so: I'm no longer going home from work only to work for a couple more hours. I know once this little girl arrives, my hands will be VERY full!
