Ready for a baby!?!

I keep getting asked if I am ready for our baby to come. In a lot of ways the answer is no. Our child does not have a name or anything close to a name. We do not have his bed ready, right now our room will not even fit the crib in it! I haven't packed a bag for the hospital, or got Levi and Ruby a little present for while I am at the hospital. So physically we are not "ready" for him to come.

With so many people asking me about it I have been thinking at how grateful I am for the ways that we are ready. Or I guess the things that have happened over the last few months that will make my life a lot easier when he get here. I was so worried that the baby would be to much for me to handle, and instead I feel that Levi and Ruby will be so excited that he has come to our family and be anxious to help take care of him.

In the last month Ruby has become a lot more independent. She is still a mommy's girl of course, but has learned to play on her own or with Levi. She also has this obsession for reading books. She would let me read books to her all day long. So this is something that I can do with her while I nurse the baby.
She has also transitioned out of her crib very easily and is actually sleeping much better in her big girl bed. She has also decided that she does not want to sit in a hghchair anymore. This has actually been a blessing because she is eating better, I suppose because she feels like a big girl. Last week we also went cold turkey and got rid of her bottle (baba) which was essential for nap time and bed time. She is so big!!

Levi is so excited for his baby brother. His new bed has done wonders in helping him to grow up. He has learned how to make his bed all by himself, which is a dream. He has also night potty trained himself in one night. We forgot to put a diaper on him the first night in his new bed, and ever since then we have had no accidents at all Hooray!!

So we are ready to love this baby. We hope that he will come to our family really soon (or at least mommy does, 20 more days seems a little long to me).
