Countdown

Our little dude is due on June 2nd -- three weeks from today! I'm so excited to meet him. Alex and I have been reading tons of books on newborn baby care and came across the cutest line last night: Apparently, very young babies can get easily overstimulated because they can't look away. They literally don't know how! How sweet is that?

Oh man, is that why babies laugh for ever? They're being visually tickled. I hate being tickled.

deanna said...

I was born (almost) 28 years ago on June 2nd! And I have an uncle who was born 30 years before me on the same day. It's a good day to arrive into the world. Good luck with the last few remaining weeks of your pregnancy!

MeganRose said...

ohhhhh!!! How exciting, I literally cant even imagine how thrilling it must be to be a first time mama about to meet the love of your life who has been growing inside you for 9 months! <3

Jess said...

That's so exciting! Enjoy your last three weeks of "freedom" - life will never be the same again :-)
(I have a four-year old boy)

Hollie said...

aww, that lil guy is so cute!! I bet you are getting excited!!

Amy@OldSweetSong said...

How very excited you must be. What a gift! I know he'll be a nugget of adorable goodness.

I have baby fever! Every baby I see I want to grab and snuggle with.

Paige said...

Yay! Yay! Yay!!! I can't wait to talk baby boys with you!!!! Rest up and pamper yourself now! Long naps, warm baths, pedicures, pregnancy massages, hair cut, etc.!!

Katie said...

cannot believe you're almost due! i've been soo broody lately and that line from the book is just so cute. oh no i can't look away from excited babies - what will we do?!

tukaroo said...

i'm due june 4 with a little boy (our first). suddenly feels really soon doesn't it?

Jen@born2impress said...

That is awesome!
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joanna said...

How exciting! My dear friend just gave birth to her little boy on Monday. Babies are in the air!

dialog said...

I have been following you for some time and am so excited for this newborn arrival to the blog posts.

Dancing Branflake said...

I can't wait to be pregnant! You seriously make me want to have all these little babies in striped sweaters while playing with little wooden cars.

Melissa Blake said...

Can't believe it's almost time!!! :) I love that line from the book, too! xoxo

inspirationfiles said...

Best of luck with the little guy! Do you have your bag packed for the hospital already? Including when Harry meets Sally of course!

The French said...

Everyone around me is pregnant...and what's so interesting is most of them (not the other Tart) are in their late 30s. Another who had two in her early 40s. And all were naturally conceived. I think that's so inspiring for women who feel like the clock is a tickin'...keep the faith:)

SmartBear said...

Best of luck!

Lenore said...

My kids couldn't take their eyes off of the ceiling fan. One of my sons was born on June 1st. Perfect time of the year for babies!!! Good luck!

Kristin Hjellegjerde said...

Enjoy the last few weeks & prepare for the greatest BLISS in your life:) Good luck and love!

Cassandra Marie said...

Wow already?! I feel like the time's flown by since you first announced to us that you were pregnant! :)

Kate said...

Oh congrats! You're so close! That line is so sweet. I read somewhere about why babies will sit and stare at their arms and legs in the air above them... because they don't realize that those things are part of them! So precious. Can't wait to have my own!

Becky said...

I didn't know that - how adorable! I can't believe you're so close - so excited for you and Alex!

Mackenzie {Design Darling} said...

Enjoy these last few weeks, it's the last time you'll have him all to yourself! I gave birth to my little man 3 months ago and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. You'll understand true love the moment they out him into your arms.

Check out my little man's blog:

Claire said...

I'm a newcomer to your blog but I've completely fallen in love with it (and you. and Alex. and your bump!)
Very lovely, scrummy, aspirational writing and photos.

Keep it up, and hope the birth is magical.

Yay! Congrats on the almost here baby. We're having our first in September and it's been so fun reading your posts. If you get a chance could you post on some of the infant care books you've been reading?

Cara said...

robyn michelle-lee @ this is life. said...

Oh gosh, I can't believe it takes only 3 weeks!! Following your whole pregnancy experience gets me sooo excited now! Good luck!

I'm studying psichology right now, and my main course is focused on babies'development of abilities and emotional connection with their mother...It'd be a great experience, I can tell you!

lovelymorning said...

So so very exciting. It really really is as amazing as everyone says.

While you're into reading, one teeny suggestion: read a bit on infant sleep. I promise it will be helpful when after 2 weeks he stops sleeping all the time and you wonder what's happening!

And, yes my little guy has definitely stared at his mobile until he starts crying. Poor baby.

amynicole said...

that is so sweet! oh my goodness! your pregnancy has flown by! i am thrilled for you both! what an exciting time in your lives! good luck and go have lots of fun and do things for yourself and alex before your precious little boy comes!

Thinking good thoughts for you, Jo! Baby is almost here. Eeeee! :)

Ginny said...

i can't believe your little one is almost here. i have been reading cup of jo since i had my first son over 2 years ago. it has been such a joy to wake up to your blog every morning and during all those late night feedings...now i have another little boy that is 6 weeks old. they are so precious at every stage. congrats and wishing you a smooth labor and delivery.

Naurnie said...

so excited for you + alex!

Wahzat Gayle said...

My girls will be one June 1st maybe he will join them on their birthday :)
Hope you are resting up

Sziltó said...

WOOOOW :o)

hip hip gin gin said...

Oh my gosh, this is so exciting!!! He'll be here so soon, you must be bursting with joy thinking about it!! Three weeks will fly by and you will be able to hold him and kiss his little baby cheeks. So happy and excited for you and Alex!

Anonymous said...

who's going to blog in your place while you're gone doing the mommy thing? can Alex pitch in and give us the guy perspective on L&D? will we have to wait forever for pictures or will you satisfy our curiosity about your cute little man earlier rather than later? I'm already having anxiety over your absence :)

The Lil Bee said...

It's so true. I used to have to look away from Devon when I was feeding her, or else she'd lock eyes with me and stop eating!

paula said...

you are going to make the sweetest mama.

Joanna Goddard said...

thanks for these cute comments! :) haha, anonymous, you are so sweet -- i will probably take a month off and then come back with lots of baby photos, as well as regular design posts. (if i left alex to write the blog, it would be all about WWII and roman history. :)

Raquel Luís said...

Three weeks already?! Best wishes for you all : ) (Portugal)

eileen said...

i was almost born on june 2nd! born on june 1st 11:54 PM hahaha. my birthday was not my due date though. i was apparently a week late. my momma said that's typical with first borns. can't wait to see pictures! you and alex are going to be marvelous parents!

Nina said...

so exciting. my favorite books were touchstones by dr sears, the emotional life of the toddler and the wonder of boys. good luck with the final weeks. boys are the best.

Jess said...

I read this on another blog and think its a great idea. "Make sure you have a pretty pillowcase for the delivery of the baby. It will be in a million photos. Mine was so pretty that when I look at the pictures 13 years later, all I see is my gorgeous baby and that fabulous fabric. It’ll distract people from looking at your puffy I-just-gave-birth face”

Melissa said...

How exciting! He is going to be one lucky little guy, with parents like you two.

Beth said...

Congratulations! The miracle of life is such a beautiful thing!

iheartkiwi said...

you guys must be bursting with excitement! it's not long now :)

if your little one arrives on schedule we will share a birthday!

cara. said...

yay! and as far as the over-stimulating thing goes--so true! we used to put our hand over mae's eyes so she'd lull off. it made for some awesome photo ops. i'm getting excited for you!

Motorcycles Rental Miami said...

I'm so excited for you, and yet at the same time I'm feeling sorry for myself that you won't be posting for some time.

katie said...

I have a feeling you both will also not be able to look away :)

Jeffbarstad said...

thats sooo exciting!! congratulations!! youre just gonna love being a mom!!

Jen said...

How exciting! I hope he is born on June 2nd, as that is my birthday :)

Ellen said...

So exciting! I hope you're still feeling good! My little one will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. It's absolutely amazing! :)

Lillian Chang said...

How exciting!! :) Any nerves?!
That baby is going to be so darn cute, I can tell :)

Joanna Goddard said...

jess, that's such a great idea! i hadn't heard that before. and haha, i'm dreading that puffy face :)

Joanna Goddard said...

inspirationfiles, i just packed my bag tonight!

Kristin said...

ooh... this is so exciting! the time is going to simply fly. As much as it has already! i'm keeping fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly for you and baby to be!

the girls said...

OMG! you are due the same day as my sister...baby boy as well. i love it.....congrats and yes get that bag packed!

lou said...

do you have a name for him already?

J said...

I'm so excited for you two! Baby boys are wonderful, we love ours!
I read so much when I was pregnant too, I made a stack of books next to my bed. Once baby came, I seemed to forget but your mother's intuition and instinct are so great that it didn't matter.
Enjoy your last few weeks alone!! ;)

Ellie Jacobson said...

Enjoy each minute before you meet your little boy...it's such an amazing time..thinking about you Jo!

Barbie said...

Oh so fun! what a great stage you are in. so much to look forward to! (and maybe a tiny bit to dread but who cares...comes with the territory). Good luck with everything. Can't wait to see what you name him and how you do the nursery. Hope you'll share some of those details!

Robin said...

You are in for such a ride. My peanut will be 2 on June 9th (although we was also due on the 2nd!) and I cannot believe
a) how fast it has gone
b) how amazing being a mom is
So, so, so excited for you!!!!

Shannon said...

so so so very exciting!
please post photos of him id love to see him! and are you much bigger than the last photos of you? much love.xx

Amy said...

even though i only know you from reading your blog, i am so excited for you and alex.
my son is only (already!) ten months old, but i am a lifetime away from the girl i was 3 weeks before he was born. i have loved and cherished every second of change.
i can't wait to continue to read your evolution into this new you.

The over stimulation thing is really funny you have to actually take down their little cot mobiles at night if they are too agitated. There is a fabulous baby book by Kaz Cooke called Baby Wrangling - it is a non uptight baby book and I loved it. I also highly recommend swaddling - I did it with both of my babies and I also highly recommend keeping your noise levels up in the house (music, talking, TV) as it means you are not tip toeing around and trying to keep silent for a sleeping baby. Good luck with it all very exciting Carolyn

Michelle said...

oh dear, that is seriously cute. My hubs and I are going to start trying soon, so I have been going a little baby crazy myself, I am very excited for you :)

melissa davis said...

Haha- that IS adorable!! I can't believe you're due so soon!! Time flies when you're pregnant doesn't it? I'm 5 1/2 months now and I know it will all be over in a flash!! Can't wait to see pics of your little dude! xx

jones said...

StacyShine said...

Twin sis just had her 2nd baby girl and I am expecting my first in September. I check your blog every day now to see if you have any "action." Very exciting! Im excited for your twin too. Nothing like a twins sisters kids (I have 7 sibilings).:)

La Feem said...

That's my bff's birthday and she rules, a gemini will keep you entertained, entranced, in love and on your toes.

amy said...

One book I just read (and have been recommending to everyone I know) is called Nurture Shock. The chapters that really stood out to me were the ones on praise, sleep, and language acquisition.

mary said...

joanna, will you let us know what your & alex's favorite books you read were? which ones were most helpful? so excited for you!! :)

Joanna Goddard said...
