Planning for success

So one thing I forgot in Utah is the USB cord for the camera.  And the one my parents have doesn't fit.  So, you'll just have to use your imaginations for a while.
My life feels like it is full of countdowns.  4 days until Ken gets here. 8 days until my due date. 15 days until I'm a week overdue.  16 days until Thanksgiving and 46 days until Christmas.  Well, yesterday instead of focusing on what is not happening, I planned.  I figured out everything I want to do before Ken gets here this weekend.  And then (this is the coolest part) I planned a reward system for each day between my due date and my possible induction.  Great right?  That way I'm not as grumpy when I don't have a baby yet!  Highlights of this plan include a haircut, a luxurious bath, frozen custard from Culver's, and a romantic night out with Ken.  Waiting a bit to have this little one is not looking so bad after all!
I am feeling pretty proud of myself right now...

Kelsey!!

I'm so glad you found me! Congratulations on almost completing another pregnancy! Do you know what you're having? I'm so excited for you and your family. My family is coming out to visit around my due date and they keep saying not to plan anything because you never know when you could have the baby. I don't know why they think sitting around doing nothing waiting for a baby to potential come each day would be fun :) So I like your reward system. Keep in touch!
