Things here are rapidly starting to wind down. Denna and I just finished the baby's room, everything is sterilized and I've stockpiled all the entertainment (motivation!) I'm going to need to stay awake during those late night feedings. I've posted what I have below and would LOVE any recommendations you have for books or movies.
We got word that our shipment should follow right after the baby (Aug 9th), and I'm really excited to get those creature comforts out of their boxes and into my home. The timing is a little inconvenient, but that's just life.
I ate my last box of otter pops today. That makes nine boxes and one bag of sodalicious pops in three weeks. I'm getting a little nervous that the baby might come out looking green, red, purple, orange or pink. We're totally going for seconds at the military base after the baby arrives.
I'll let you all know when the screaming and pushing starts. Bring on the joy.
