4 weeks!!

My due date is four weeks from tomorrow! I have mixed feelings about the time I have left. Yes, I still have to finish his room, purchase a stroller and some other items, and decide on a middle name :), but I am ready to have my baby here. I think it will still be surreal even when I first hold him that we're having another individual in our family! Not just "a baby", he'll be our son who we will love for who he is. Matt doesn't quite know what is going on. He knows Baby Ryan is hiding in Mommy's tummy. He told me one day my tummy was "Baby Ryan's house". He's going to be a good big brother though, maybe even help a little too much. ;) I'm not looking forward to going through labor again! I'm hoping it will be easier this time than with Matt. I'm also hoping I go before 39 weeks. Matt was 8lbs 7ozs and he was almost a week early! This baby feels just as big for sure so if I went forty weeks, I don't know how I'd have him. Thirty seven weeks is "full term", so I'm hoping I hit that mark and then have my baby, we'll see. I will do anything I have to though to have my baby here and healthy, that's my first priority. Anyone interested in going for walks let me know because I'm sure I'll will be walking A LOT! I might also utilize my parents' trampoline ;) jk. Anyway, so excited to be able to cuddle my little baby soon!!
