Almost Ready

With each passing day it becomes more and more evident that Cayden will be with us shortly. He seems to grow stronger and more active by the second. My belly seems to be occupying more and more space these days and the aches and pains of pregnancy are more pronounced with each passing moment.

Our (what seemed like never-ending) quest to be ready for Cayden is finally coming to a close. The nursery is near complete and that gives me a sense of relief and accomplishment beyond description. I want to take this moment to applaud Chad for the hard work and dedication he put into our baby boy’s room. It is simply beautiful and I cannot wait to show our little bundle what a great job his daddy did.

Chad is done with his part of the re-model. We finally decided on the type of flooring we wanted for the room and are going to have carpet installed. We are now just waiting on Home Depot to get the carpet delivered and installed. The carpet should be installed in about a week or so. Once that is complete it will be time for decorating—the fun and (luckily for us) quick part.

We have everything we needed for the baby room. In fact, we have just about everything we need for Cayden in general. There are just a few necessity items that we are lacking, but they will be purchased soon.

I also feel that Chad and I are mentally ready for Cayden and the enormous responsibility and joys that come with him. Still, I can’t quiet imagine how different things will be in the Reed household once Cayden gets home. I look forward to learning as we go and establishing routines, rules and a sense of family.

So I am ready. Chad is ready. The rest of the family is ready. His room is almost ready. Now we just need to allow Cayden to be ready to enter this world. It’s going to be great.
