Branch Family Baby Shower

Burns Family Baby Shower!!!

when 2 become 3...

Mother, Father, BabyAll you Mothers & Fathers

(and anyone who has good parental advise)

I only have 14 days (2weeks) until my potential due date

and who knows...this little guy could come early

(if Brandon's prayers are answered).

Generally I am one that can just deal with things as they come without much thought, but the more I think about this whole "mom" thing, the more nervous I get and unprepared I feel.
Seriously though...

can I really be fully prepared for something like this?
Everyone keeps asking me if I'm ready and all I can think is

"am I supposed to be?"

I mean I have the room painted, his clothes all hung neatly, diapers stacked, names in mind, and many good intentions to finish last minute things this week,

but am I every going to be really ready?
I already know the answer to my question,

and that is not what I am asking.
What I really want from all of you is advise.

I figure if I am going to be as ready as I can be, I can't do it alone.

I have never done this mom thing before

and I only know so much.
If everyone could please just give me a little something that they have found or know is important when it comes to babies

(labor, delivery, hospital, the first night home, babies, etc.)

I figure I will end up with a pretty good list

and be able to be "ready" haha!!!
Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing all your little bits of ADVISE!!!

Happy Late Birthday to me!!!

My cute family took me out to dinner in celebration of my birth...They got me cute presents...They let me eat ribs without a bib...They smiled for pictures... They did the classic Bodie smile for me...
They got me a FREE birthday brownie (alamode)...
and they even gave me a splendid toast...

Thanks Family!!!

Also...

This is what a Birthday looks like at my office
Yes...Brandon and I work together
he did not pay me a special birthday visit
except the few steps it took to get to my desk
but I guess that is pretty special
I LOVE YOU B!!!
