Preparing

While we have been in full holiday-mode for the last few weeks we have also been busy preparing for the arrival of our newest family member.  We have washed clothes, diapers and blankets, dusted off and put together a crib, changing table, co-sleeper, swing, and bookshelf, unearthed the baby toys and stocked the freezer.  I have gotten some new baby wipes sewn and knit a hat for him to wear home from the hospital.  Through everything Julia has been a great helper.  We’ve found she’s especially good with a screwdriver! 

So I’m now about 36 weeks pregnant and we’re pretty much expecting that delivery could come any day.  Julia was a couple of weeks early and the way I’ve been feeling it’s possible that this little one may be as well.  To be on the safe side, I have my things for hospital gathered together, although not officially packed into a bag, and we’ve been starting to prepare Julia for the idea that Mom may be gone for a couple of days.  She seems to be pretty excited – although has been rather adamant that the baby not come until after Christmas!  Which is okay by us!

We hung the couple of things we have for the walls of the nursery up today and finally took some pictures so we could share.
