Week 37: Homemakery.

Three weeks from today I could be screaming in terror as our baby comes into the world. Or doped up and laughing as we watch the contractions on a monitor. Or waiting impatiently for something to happen. We'll see.

We have been preparing like crazy people. Me more crazy, Dave just preparing. This weekend I took on the bathroom. I junked all of the expired medicine and organized everything else. Everything is under the sink, categorized and labeled in zip top bags. Only the daily nessesities are in the medicine cabinet. On Sunday I looked under the sink and realized that it looks like a crazy person had their way with our toiletries.


Last weekend I transformed a mound of gift bags and boxes into a bedroom. Dave put the dresser together and I finally had a place for the baby's extensive wardrobe. It took me a couple of hours to sort all of the little laundry! I read every lable and washed everything accordingly. I made his bed, ironed the ruffle, set up the mobile, organized the shelves, folded the blankets ... and here is the final project! We still need some art for the walls ... but I think he'll understand if there isn't anything on the walls when he gets home. He's pretty chill.


I obviously need to hone my skills with the digital camera in the next few weeks. This photo is kind of dark - but you get the idea.

Fun stuff! I

wonder how long these shelves will look like this ... shall we take bets?

My grandmother made that blue blanket - I love it.

And no, the photo in the yellow frame is not our baby. I doubt our child will have blond hair.

I wonder which will be his favorite....

Lastly, this is the current resident of the baby's bedroom. She will be displaced in the next few weeks and I don't think she's too happy about it. She's had our full attention for the past couple of years and she doesn't look thrilled at the prospect of somebody taking her place in our home. She gave me the evil eye for hours as I worked in "her" bedroom.
