Single Digits

Well, we officially have 9.5 weeks until Elizabeth's due date. It is like a mantra- I say it everyday. "Only 9 weeks to go." It makes me feel better most days, and some days it reminds me how much we need to do before she gets here.

Being pregnant this time around is so different than it was the first time. When we were expecting Henry we had everything done by now. The clothes were washed, the nursery was painted and decorated, the bottles were clean, we had all of the "baby stuff" we could imagine needing. This time? Not. So. Much.

The nursery? Oh, you mean Henry's bedroom. Not done. Not even started. We have the bedding, it is all ready to get steamed and put on her crib at some point. Does that count? Her clothes? Mostly washed, not organized and put away. Bottles? I think they are in the basement somewhere. Guess we should look for them. Lots to do I tell you, I guess we will see if it all gets done beofre she gets here. Funny thing is, this time, I am not that stressed about it (well, B would tell you otherwise, but really, not as stressed as I would have been if it had been this way with H)

That said, I did manage to pre-register at the hospital today (see B, I did it!). That must mean that things are coming to an end. Right?

I am off to get Henry out of his crib... we tried for the elusive morning nap today seeing as how he was up at 3:30 this morning, but alas, Henry wins. No nap!
