Coming Together

With less than 3 weeks to go, we are slowly but surely pulling it together.
On the homefront, we are getting our place organized, cleaned and ready for the arrival of Squirt.

The baby clothing and stuff still need washing and fluffing. It'd probably be nice to dust and vacuum the place too. I wonder if babies can tell a clean house? Well, this baby will have to deal with it unless my nesting instincts kick in the next week. I need a charge of energy to concur even the smaller tasks these days.

Squirt will also have it's very own cradle this week. I hope the location is suitable for his/her needs. I think it's a lovely little spot for the little one. Close to mama and daddy.

The last essential item on the list are re-usable cloth diapers and wipes. Since there are more than a dozen brands to choose one, I mull over the decision as I read countless reviews. My mother advises me to stop worrying about the little things and focus on the bigger picture. I'll give that a try.


I had a doctors visit today and things are looking good. Heart Rate at 150 beats/ min and lots of gurgling sounds on the Doppler. My uterus is measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I would think that is good news, but my doctor tells me still no signs of Squirt trying to make an exist. Trying to bake to perfection, eh?

The anticipation is building. I feel a lot of movement at certain times, wondering what the heck he is up to. Hey Squirt, are you thinking it's time to come out yet?
