JULY, JULY!!!

So maybe I'm just a little bit excited that it's JULY! Let me tell you, on December 4th (when we first found out about our newest addition) July seemed sooooo far away. And now it's here, the month I've been (im)patiently waiting for.

As my due date gets closer I'm getting a little bit more nervous, but I know that's completely normal. Labor is a scary thought, but even scarier is the thought of a tiny little person needing constant attention. I know that I have the best role models anyone could ask for and that everything will be fine, but I would be lying if I said the thought of everything wasn't a little bit nerve wracking.

Last night I 'took inventory', as I like to call it, of clothes & diapers. We have LOTS of size 1 diapers, but somehow the newborn diapers got skipped over. That's okay though, we have giftcards =] I set aside the newborn diapers that we do have, some wipes & all of the newborn clothes we have. Everything else got divided up and put up in the closet or under the crib. I got all of the bathroom stuff put away in the bathroom, also. It felt good to have that out of the way. Now I just need to throw the newborn clothes, blankets & bedding in the wash & I'll be ready as far as clothes and diapers are concerned.

This weekend I'm working on getting my hospital bag packed. So far, I have Brylee's coming home outfit... and that's all. lol =] but I'm busy making a list of what else needs to be added.

In other news... this weekend is July 4th & I have noooo plans. We'll probably spend Monday at my parents' house. Other than that it should be a pretty laid back weekend. I want to get a little bit of cleaning done around the house before I put it off for too long and Brylee decides to show up.

**UPDATE**

In the middle of this post, I left to try & renew the tags for the Cobalt. I got to the courthouse, waited in a ridiculously long line, paid $2 to get cash out of an ATM machine since they don't take debit cards (I mean REALLY?! can't the government get with it?? who doesn't take debit cards these days?!) and got to the counter only to find out that they couldn't renew my tags since my car is in my dad's name. Since I don't share his last name or his address, I can't renew the tags.

Now all of this would be fine & dandy except for one little thing. Due to my super procrastination skills, the tags expired yesterday. Awesome.

Luckily, I have a super great daddy who is going to come pick up the paperwork from me at work and go down to the courthouse this afternoon to get them renewed. He loves me =]

Also on this trip, I had to wait through THREE CYCLES of a red light because the lights refused to give me a green left arrow. What is up with today??

**END RANT**

Hope everyone has a FUN & SAFE 4th of July weekend!!
