Tomorrow is the 38 week mark. The time until Landon's arrival is getting soon, but I know we don't know exactly how close we are until the time actually comes. I do know that we are ready for him to be here. All we have to do now is wait.
We have been busy cleaning the house in anticipation of everyone coming here after Landon is born. We're expecting a packed house since noone can come to the hospital. I've been doing most of the scrubbing cleaning with any chemicals since Christi cannot be around anything like that. We try to keep the house as clean as we can, but it's been a while since we had a thorough cleaning of every room in the house and it definitely showed in the amount of time it took to clean the house. Thankfully we had some help. Christi's parents came over a few days and helped and my mom came over 1 day over the weekend to help as well. Christi's mom also washed all of Landon's clothes for us and helped us organize them by size. That was a HUGE help since it allowed me to concentrate on just cleaning instead of me having to go back and forth between cleaning and laundry. Naturally, all of this cut down on the computer time for blogging. I had plans to post some stories that happened, but that didn't end up happening.
Besides the cleaning, the biggest thing that happened was Christ ended up going to the hospital one day the other week. Everything is ok, just a little scare. Basically, she wasn't feeling good at the end of the day. Her friend, Lynn, called the doctor and told them all of her symptoms. The way their office works is that they have the nurse call you back later. Well, this day they were taking forever and Lynn called them back after over an hour of waiting. The assured the nurse would call back soon, and she finally did. They told Christi to go to the hospital. She was expecting just a little visit to get a few things checked, but it turned out they actually admitted her into the hospital for observation. It took forever to get seen (a few hours), but they finally came in and did a few things and everything was OK. The worst part was having to sit in the tiny, cramped room and wait. It wasn't fun seeing Christi all hooked up to the machines. I guess it something I am going to have to get use to seeing, but only when he actually comes it's going to be a lot more going on. Very hectic. Like I said earlier, everything was fine and nothing is wrong with Christi or Landon.
One of the other things we did recently is buy a camcorder. The plan is to take a lot of videos of Landon as he is growing up, especially the first few days. MAYBE I'll be able to post some videos of Landon, but I'm really not sure what to expect and what will be going on. I'm not anticipating a lot of free time, so if I'm not able too post any videos please don't be mad!
Well, it's getting late so I need to go to bed soon. Keep checking back for updates - it could be any day now!

glad Christi is feeling better. I actually ended up in the hospital last week too- with contractions. Hope you guys have your bags packed for the hospital! He could be here at any time!
Hope you are feeling better! Christi told me about you going to the hospital as well. It's not fun.
The bags are packed and ready to go. We have too many bags I think, but Christi insists it's just being prepared. I'll have to take a picture of them.
lots of bags is better than not enough!! i've already made my list of everything we need to pack, so i guess i'll start putting stuff together in the next few weeks. but, yes, post a picture of the bags!
