It's almost time

Well, pretty soon baby girl will be here. 18 days and only 11 working days and we will be able to meet our new little bundle of joy. We had an ultrasound done earlier this week (36 weeks, 5 days) and she was in the 17th percentile at 5 pounds and 12 ounces. She looked very healthy, but was just a tad small. Doctor said he wasn't concerned because she measures equally small and that I am small too. Since everything looks good, we are still on schedule for the 12th!

We have everything just about ready. It's amazing the difference between the first child and the second child. I had my hospital bag packed at like 32 weeks with Brooke - I still don't have it packed with this one. Her room is ready, bottles are clean, and all the love she will need is there. But, I still don't feel as prepared with this one...I feel like I am missing something. My brain, maybe. I feel like I can't remember anything at all...not good when you are working on a 1,000 page tax return :)

Last week, our power went out due to a pretty bad storm. Brooke didn't like that we couldn't watch tv or turn on the lights. She asked if her Daddy could fix it, and I said that he couldn't. So, Brooke turned around and said "Well, my Poppop can fix it. He's big and strong". I had to tell Poppop about that story - and he found it just as amusing. Every once and a while she will bring up her Poppop and GG. Everytime we spell names, she always asks to spell Poppop and GG.

Tonight after dinner, Brooke gets behind Jeremy and tells me to line up. I get behind her, and then move a few seconds later. She tells me to get back in line and I ask her why. She uses Daddy's famous line and says "Because I said so". I looked at Jeremy and just laughed. He doesn't realize that what he tells Brooke, she uses on us as well. Every little thing we say - she picks up on.
