- pack my hospital bag
- sew burp cloths
- borrow my sister's bassinet
- wash all baby clothes, blankets, etc. in baby detergent
- pack a suitcase for Emma while I'm away
- paint (and repaint) dresser for Emma
- rearrange the kids' room
- vacuum and wash the car
- install car seats at Primary Children's Hospital
- register with the hospital.
Now that those few things are accomplished, I am ready to have this baby!! Take a look:
This is our countdown chain for Baby Boy:
The kids' room:
Here's the dresser before (I found it on ksl classifieds):
And after much ado:
Changing table for Baby Boy:
Baby Boy's crib with the amazing quilt my mother made:
Emma's bed with my old college bed quilt (blue) and amazing quilt my mother made for her (pink):
It's so interesting to be worried about being ready for something that could have realistically happen by now, contrasted with the fact that it hasn't happened by now. Now I just need a Baby!! Any ideas of what I can do with my time while I wait (ever so patiently)?

I had a friend tell me to have something planned for the due date, just in case nothing has happened. Like have a pedicure scheduled or something :P Other than that I have no clue. Alice was four days late and it was tough trying to "wait patiently". I kept saying, "Hurry Up Baby!" :P Just hang in there, and try to keep yourself busy, which I'm sure with a twoyear old is no trouble at all. ;)
I love the room! I am sorry that I will have no suggestions to keep yourself busy...I am five months away and am having trouble! I do think that going to get a pedi sounds great though!
Everything looks so great. You have worked very hard!! I do think you should point out that Andrew did work on the dresser, also! It was truly a high point for him. (:
