This is Normal....Right?

Don't ask how I possibly got into this position with only 10 days left in my pregnancy. I guess adrenaline took over my body and made me more flexible than I should be. Saturday we went to our storage unit, that LITERALLY holds our whole life, to get our box of baby gear. I thought that when we packed it all in that I put the box in the front of the unit, knowing I would need it 6 months later, but I guess I was not as prepared as I thought I was. The box was in the back, along with 20 0ther identical boxes, so we had to try to rummage through them all and see what they were all labeled. I tried on one side first and I didn't see it, so we basically were going to give up. Then I saw a little path starting on the washing machine, then to climb up on the table leg to eventually get up onto the vertical mattress, to then straddle it. I thought I was the luckiest person on earth because once I got up there right in front of me was the beloved baby gear box. I was pretty stoked that my hard physical work paid off. It was well worth it. Inside the box was my baby bjorn, bumbo, monitors, car seat attachments, and 2 newborn play yards. I didn't want to have to borrow/buy all of that stuff again. Now I have to wipe down the car seat, buy some diapers, and set up the pack in play in my room and I will be officially ready for this baby.

Speaking of this baby, I am delighted to announce that I will be getting induced 6 days early. Honestly, I think this is better than Christmas. The fact that I will be pregnant 10 days less than I was with Berkeley excites me so much. My scheduled inducement is February 25 and I check in at 5 am. I definitely have been having painful contractions, and I am feeling like there is absolutely no more room in my belly for any more growth. I am excited to buckle my shoes again and to paint my toe nails. Most of all though I am so excited to hold this sweet little newborn in my arms!
