Here are the questions Dominic and I are currently pondering:
? - What time will baby come? Morning? Noon? Night?
? - Will baby be born on a weekend or weekday? - Pulling for the weekend!!!
? - Will baby be a June or a July baby? - Aka what birthstone will he or she have?
? - Will I make it past the 4th of July? - I sure hope so!
? - Will I make it to my due date? - I'm actually the weirdo who is still pulling for going LATE! Fingers crossed that this baby will be a Sunday baby just like his or her big brother, Mama, and Daddy. :) Or better YET - a Sunday the 15th baby like his or her big brother AND Mama!
? - Will Dominic be at work 80 miles away when baby comes? - When we had William, he worked in Perrysburg. Even better, he wasn't even working! We went to the hospital over the weekend!
? - Who will handle William when baby comes? - I know this will just fall together when the time comes.
? - How long will I be in the hospital? - Fingers crossed that it won't be as long as last time!
? - Will baby be a boy or a girl? - We have to buy clothes either way, since William's will be the wrong size for the season. Or perhaps baby #2 will just be in a onesie and diaper all summer.
? - What will baby's name be? (especially if it is a boy since we still haven't officially finalized one!)
? - How much will baby weigh? - My prediction is that this baby will not be as big as William was.
? - How long will he or she be? - See above prediction.
? - Will this baby be tongue-tied like William was? - Man I sure HOPE not...
? - Will this baby be on the bilirubin blanket like William was? - See above statement.
? - Will I be finished with all of my work stuff before baby comes? - Uh, I better!
? - Will we have the baby before or after we move? - Preferably AFTER we move, but that's not likely.
? - When will we paint the bedrooms in our new house? Currently the plan is for Dom to paint sometime around July 4-6. But will we be having a baby then?
? - When should I schedule to get the carpets cleaned? - As long as the paint is done this will probably be the weekend of the 7th, but that is my due date... So.... who knows!
? - What washer and dryer will we buy? - Leaning towards the top-loaders now that the front-loaders have had so many negative "Mom Reviews". We're also sort of waiting until we get a nice Lowes coupon in the "change of address" package because we were told by the Lowes worker that you can get that discount ON TOP OF the sale they are currently having (10% off appliances). Not bad, especially once we use our Discover reward gift cards!
? - Will we have our master furniture ordered and delivered early on or put it off until later? - I sure hope it's the former and not the latter. I don't feel like dealing with this once we have a baby.
? - Will William be ok in his big boy bed? - We may find out tonight! Dom and William are currently on their way to get the new mattress and we are transitioning him tonight in order to to slowly start all of his many changes.
? - How long will it take us to move? We have until early August to move out of our home on Mapleway, so we know we will be fine but we are hoping we can move all of our big stuff in a day or two. The tentative plan is to move our big stuff the weekend of July 15-17. Of course that depends on when the baby comes!
And this was just the short list. Hence the reason why I am focused on Philippians 4:6 right now. Worry about nothing and PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING! Or the verse below from Isaiah - one of my favorite books of the Bible. I know that God is in control, and He is the only one with these answers. Therefore I am calm and leaving it up to Him!!!
