Countdown

The baby will be here in about 2.5wks! Yikes! I have such mixed feelings right now. Mostly I can't wait for him to get here. I can't wait to hold him and see what he looks like and what he'll be like. But I'm also nervous about the unknown. Overall all 3 of our boys have been easy babies, can I get lucky again?? And I'm starting to get nervous about breastfeeding. It hasn't been long at all since I stopped nursing Lucas so I know that I know what I'm doing, but both Thomas and Griffin had latching issues that I really don't want to deal with again. It's very strange knowing I only have 2wks left of my entire life to be pregnant (unless of course there is some miracle in the future and my tubal ligation fails). I know 100% we are done, so it's not that I want to be pregnant again but it's weird knowing this part of my life is over. Overall this pregnancy has been my easiest. I've had morning sickness (still do some days) but it hasn't been quite as bad as the others. Other than a few days here and there, I haven't had bad heartburn this time. The last 3 I had to take prescription meds for it. And there haven't been any strange issues that I've dealt with in the past like rashes, carpal tunnel, a fractured ankle, sciatica, possible issues from the ultrasound, etc... I am pretty uncomfortable at times now and feeling a lot of pressure, but that's to be expected at this point. As much as I want to meet him, I am trying to enjoy the good things about being pregnant for the next couple of weeks.

We haven't named the baby yet, which is no surprise since the other 3 weren't named until the day they were born. But we are getting closer I think. Mike and I went out to breakfast ALONE (it was wonderful!) today so we spent some time talking about it. We have a longer list, but as of right now I think the 2 we both like best are Max and Evan. Both were top choices before. Griffin was almost Evan - we didn't decide between the 2 until about 8hrs after he was born. And Max was at the top of our list for Lucas. Other names we are considering are: Owen, Carter, Samuel, Matthew, and William (Will). But it seems like one of us has some kind of issue with each of those. Any other suggestions are welcome!!
