35 Weeks and Counting

So we have just over a month left in waiting for our new little family member to join our family, and we just can't seem to find enough patience. I know that mostly I'm getting excited to be able to sleep again, or to be able to tie my own shoes, but Izabella and Mikey are getting anxious also. Izabella has decided in the last couple of weeks that she too has a baby in her tummy. We have tried to explain things to her, however whenever anyone asks her about the baby she pulls up her shirt and pats her tummy saying, "My Baby!" It really is too cute!Last week I stayed home for a couple days and Izabella and I decided that it was time to start getting things ready for her new little sister. I was so proud of her as I watched her clean out one of her drawers in her dresser out and helped me but the baby clothes in it. I had so much fun telling her how she had warn all these little outfits herself only two years ago. We then pushed over all her clothes to one side of the closet and hung up the rest of the baby clothes. Izabella's favorite part was moving all her shoes to one side of the changing table bottom shelf to but the baby shoes on the other side. She loves shoes, and naturally she tries to but on the baby shoes from time to time.
Bella has also picked out two blankets, out of the hundred she has, that she will no longer use. Mike tried to give her one of them the other night and she pushed it away saying, "NO! BABIES!" I am so glad that we have talked about the new baby so much with her. I really feel that she understands what is going on. We'll just have to see!!
Mikes counting down the days, but he is under the impression that this little one is going to come early just like Izabella did. In fact, he believes that she will be exactly 20 days early, which means that she will be born Christmas Day! I really hope that doesn't happen. A couple days before or a couple days after is fine with me. I on the other hand keep having a reacquiring nightmare of my water breaking in the middle of sacrament. I mean what would I do! This meaning my guess would be the 27th of December. And since I was dead on with Izabella's date of birth my doctor has assured me that he will be available on that day. So do any of you have any guesses as to when Baby Plane will be here? Our actual due date is January 13th, however we are hoping for another tax deduction with this little one. Plus I would like to start my maternity leave before the new year.
As for a name Mike and I are still undecided, but don't worry we do have a couple in mind. We have decided that we want to see the baby before we get to set on a name.
I'm 35 weeks along!!

PS: Both Bella and I were having really bad hair days. I had been sleeping all afternoon. I will get some better pictures posted soon!!
Love you all,
Mike, Stefanie, Izabella and Baby

You couldn't have a bad hair day. I hope that you have her before we leave Idaho so we can see her. Good luck!
