OMG people. 6 weeks until my due date. And, you know, Lucas was a solid week and a half early. So we could be approximately one month away from bringing home a real live little baby with demanding, life-sustaining needs! Ahhhhhh!
I had a dream the other night that we got our cloth diapers delivered right before the baby was born. I had literally nothing else ready. (Kind of like exactly what I have ready now except I don't even have diapers yet.) I said, "Oh well! We've got diapers and breast milk, what more do we need?" (Obviously this was a dream because in real life my response would be much closer to a panic attack.)
I suppose that is technically true. I mean there's nothing cuter than a naked little baby, right? And we have an adorable little knit hat which my mom found at her church Christmas bizarre. And we can probably smuggle a onesie or two out of the hospital. So that's like 3 hours worth of clothing?
Luckily, some people are preparing for the birth of this little baby boy. Namely, my parents.
My mom finished the baby quilt and also threw together a receiving blanket and changing pad cover with the fabric I bought (er, she bought, she insisted on paying me so it was truly a gift from her!). How lovely are these?

L to R: quilt, receiving blanket, changing pad cover
And, my dad arrived Monday afternoon to spend a few days with us working on preparing Lucas's new room. His tasks are to remove the awful old paste from the wallpaper Abel ripped down and to paint. My tasks include choosing a paint color (hopefully before he's ready to actually paint!) and buying a bed. Abel will install a closet system and then that room will be pretty much ready to go. Then we can paint and decorate the nursery. And get the car seat and some clothes and the baby bathtub and myriad other things which I'm totally assuming are packed away and in good condition down from the attic.
Think carefree...totally carefree....

Love the quilt and all! Your mom is so talented (and fast!!! you posted about the fabric just a little while ago)
ReplyDeleteIt will all come together, don't fear!
The bedding looks great! I can't believe that your mom made all of those items so quickly.
ReplyDeleteJust call us if you need a few people to help out with random tasks. I'm happy to climb into the attic to retrieve supplies or to help move furniture. We're happy to help!
love the quilts... I can't believe it's getting down to the wire with this baby thing.. :)
ReplyDeleteI am getting so excited for this baby to arrive!
