only 11 weeks (or less!) to go!!

[Guest guest]

Okay I was working on our calendar, pencilling in all the various appt

and things and holiday stuff. ohmigosh!!!! this is really it, the

home stretch. Some of you gals are due even sooner than I am (Jan

23). How is everyone else managing not to panic?

I got the call that my crib is in town now, yay! no more delays and I

could have it as soon as the 9th, but we are waiting til the 16th for

delivery because Chazz can be home that day to make sure they assemble

it where we want it. That leaves me only 9 days to finish prepping

the nursery.

I am glad hubby had to use up 2 weeks of vacation before dec 31st

(only 6 weeks carry over) so he has off the whole week of

thanksgiving, plus Dec 22 all the way to Jan 3rd. I am counting on

that time to get all the last minute projects and purchasing

accomplished. Now mid-december he has 6 days at work with crucial

meetings and projects where I know he will be useless for anythign at

home, so I will kind of be on my own Dec 6-16, but I'll burn that

bridge when I come to it.

This is a weird feeling, euphoric and giddy with the excitement but

also kind of panicky thinking that as slowly as some of these days

passed by, the weeks just flew, and I am not ready. I mean I want the

baby in my arms now, but I also wish I had another 6 months to prepare

myself. Is that crazy hormone talk or what?

Wow Colleen, you wore me out just reading your post. I'm due on Feb.

4, and we've done nothing. No crib, no bassinette, nothing. We're

trying to sell our house and move states, so we decided rather than

plan a nursery in this house only to have to tear it down, we'd just

wing it. Well, the house hasn't sold yet (2 months on the market),

and we're fast approaching the time where we can't move because

finding a new doctor so late in the game is disconcerting to me.

Hopefully this kid won't mind sleeping in a cradle for it's first few

weeks until we either move or give up and stay where we are. I wish

we could plan and do a nursery now, I think it would make this much

more real to me. I envy your activity!

Other than diapers, a place to sleep, pjs and bottles (just in case

the boobs don't work).....what does a newborn need? This is my

first.
