The time is near

So... my due date for this lil girl is Friday.  Friday.  Three days from today.

Yikes! 

The last number of months have just flown by!  We still don't have everything set up like I really want for the baby... but that is ok.  I have a place for her to sleep, we have clothes and diapers, and we have about 8 or 9 meals in the deep freeze.  I'm feeling ok with all of that.  M keeps asking when the baby is coming, and I keep telling her that we don't know exactly when.  It will be a surprise for all of us. 

Nesting is starting up a bit.  I am exhausted and want to sleep all the time, however I also want to sew, and organize, and clean things I usually don't clean.  For example, this week I cleaned out all the kitchen drawers and reorganized them, including the basket and phone caddy on the counter.  I also took apart the kitchen faucet and cleaned that so it runs properly now.  I went through my recipe box and binder and trashed a whole bunch of recipes I'll never use, and added dividers to the box (finally).  I really want some shelves on the wall in our bedroom so we can put some things on there for baby (and our collections.  It would be nice to display them again instead of storing them in boxes), picture frames, maybe even some hooks to hang the cute little dresses we have for her so that they are out and visible instead of hiding in the drawer.  The chest of drawers we are using is not the biggest in terms of drawer space... they are very shallow drawers.  Which is ok for baby clothes, really.  I just need two drawers for all the cloth diapers... and they are stuffed into one right now :) . 

Silly thing is... we still haven't pegged a name yet.  We have a middle name (in honor of my grandmother.  My due date is on what would have been her 90th birthday, but she passed away in October from cancer).  We also haven't completely packed a birth bag.  I've got most of what I figure I'll need in there (toiletries, an outfit for baby, socks/slippers for me) but no snacks (don't have a clue what to put in anyway, and they do not stock that sort of thing well in the hospital I'm going to), no pills (I really should put a couple of days worth into a container for then... I'll still be needing my prenatal and calcium pills), nothing for 'helping' with labor (I wouldn't know what to pack!  I have no idea, and I've done this 3 times already).  I'm thinking that since I know at least 3 other women due in the same week as me, I probably should pack my birthing ball that I have at home here so I don't have to worry about needing one and someone else is using it.  I don't know... overkill, maybe?  What sorts of things would you pack?

Just feeling a little... underprepared.  And yet, I don't really care right now, because all I want to do is sleep (and maybe have a soak in the tub).  I am constantly exhausted.
