Two more weeks left

Tomorrow will mark two weeks until baby Fisher is set to make his arrival. Wow, only two more weeks left? Are we ready? Define ready.

Ashley has been ready for a while, and we're now going to weekly doctor's visits with weekly ultrasounds. Yesterday we met with Ashley's doctor and dropped a few hints that we wouldn't be upset if we needed to have the baby sooner ... like this week, but doctors know best, and she told us she'll see us back next week.

Fisher is weighing in at 7 lbs 8 ozs now -- at the 37 week mark (remember that Trace was born a month early at 36 weeks and weighed 6 lbs 3.8 ozs so Fisher's got him beat). Since we're already scheduled for a section, his size isn't going to be much of a factor in the decision to have him earlier, but we'd like to think that next week when he's over 8 lbs, the doctor will tell us let's do this!

As far as being ready with everything else, the nursery is just about there. We didn't change it much from when it was Trace's. New letters are set to arrive soon, so Fisher's name will be up on his wall. Ashley has gone through all of the baby clothes, washed them and organized the room again (it had turned into our junk/storage room for a few months). I've got the video and digital camera's charged up and bags are being packed. A new outfit or two will be purchased this week, the baby book is starting to be filled out and the carseat will soon go back in Ashley's car. Yep, with only two weeks left, we still have a few things to do.

So how's Trace doing with all this, you ask? Well, he's already saying that Fisher is his best friend, but he's got other things to think about right now ... his Maw Maw, Pap and Aunt Rhi Rhi just brought him the last of his Christmas presents from Grand Isle, his new trampoline:
