Getting close to the end

The expectant mom we are matched with was showing some signs of early labor last week. She asked me to accompany her to the doctor and I was able to get enough time off to go. We heard the heartbeat and I got to feel the baby kick. Her doctor didn't think she was in danger of going into full blown labor early. She's taking things easy just because she gets tired easily now.

The furniture is all put together in the baby's room and the clothes are washed. We picked up a rocking chair at an Amish furniture store last weekend and I have another chair to use although I want to make a new cover for it. I finished the quilt today and Papa_D hung it on quilt clips above the crib. The mobile is up and we have hooks for some other things that need to be hung. I am printing pictures this week for some picture frames we got at Ikea when we bought the furniture. I have the last of a big Amazon order that will be delivered tomorrow. After that we should be set. I expect we will need to run out for some odds and ends after he comes home but at least I *feel* prepared.

Oh, and the cats have figured out how to get in the crib. Oy, I was hoping they wouldn't figure that out so soon.

  1. Maybe some pics of the baby's room??? Sounds like you are ready, and if you need something later, you can get it. I don't suppose it would help for me to tell you to step back, take a deep breath, know that "kidlet's" material needs are already met, relax, and enjoy the season. Maybe after the sono-gram on thurs....Both of you need to rest up between now and THEN.. Love You Both so much, grandma_L
