Just a warning...this post will, in all likelihood, be very random--that's what usually happens when I sit down at the computer without a set topic in mind. Greg is upstairs putting together the crib that...hold on a sec, we have some live action blogging going on here...Greg just came down and asked if I was going to take pictures of him putting the crib together for the blog, how could I refuse? So just in case you didn't believe me when I said he was putting the crib together, here's your proof...
Anyway, Greg is putting together the crib we picked up tonight from Target (thanks mom and dad!), we have our yummy brown paint color picked out for the nursery (Valspar Khaki), and have chosen the nursery fabric (top set from 2 posts ago--thanks to everyone who helped in that decision!).
With 7 weeks to go, we are definitely in preparation mode, and it seems very odd to me that in less than two months we will be parents. I'm not sure how it will feel as we get closer to the date, but for now, it's just kind of odd and surreal. And the closer that the baby gets to his birthday, and the more able that he is to survive just fine and dandy in this world without the protection of my tender, loving uterus, the more I would love to just keep him safe and sound inside of me forever, no birthing necessary, thankyouverymuch...plus, it would solve that whole crib/nursery/childproofing hassle that just seems tedious at this point in the game. So does anybody else feel this way? Or are you just chuckling to yourself because you know that in a few more weeks I will be ready to kill to have this baby out of me?
P.S. Speaking of which, just for the record, this kid is definitely making his presence in my uterus known...to think that I couldn't feel him at all a month or so ago.
P.P.S. The above tulips were from Greg for Valentine's Day--I love how tulip stems get all wonky and bendy after a couple of days...I think it gives them so much charm.
P.P.S. So in the time it took me to type this post, Greg has finished putting together the crib...is he handy, or what?
3 people say...:
Wow...send Greg here...I have 3 shelves that need to be put together! Love the fabric you picked out! How exciting! Babies are the best!
Goodness time flies! I cannot believe you have less than 2 months! Next thing you know I will be writing congrats and we will see pics of the baby & new mommy! Have you decided on a name other than "baby Smith?"
Thanks for your comment on my blog...I should be having another giveaway soon!
My pregnancy went by so slowly...I just couldn't wait for Jeremiah to get here. Then all of the sudden the baby is three months old and you're like, "hey, where did that time go???"
Take care!
