Baby-Related Update

Because we have been SO generously showered with gifts for the baby, we've had a lot to set up and get ready! I've got the last load of tiny clothes in the wash, and finished washing little sheets and blankets earlier so that the cradle Ronnie built for us is made, and the crib in her bedroom is all made too. This child has no shortage of comfy places to sleep :)

While watching Captain America with Bryan this evening (he's ready to see the Avengers movie - do you think I could get through a whole movie at the theatre??) we set up the Rock'n'Play and Swing. Our home is starting to look invaded by a baby and she isn't even here yet!! 

Maverick finds all of this very interesting, and enjoys sniffing the new items in his territory and rolling on the soft blankets. We tried to explain to him that the incredibly soft lion mat does not go in his kennel for his sleeping enjoyment, it's for the baby. I think he remains unconvinced, but has reluctantly agreed to leave it in the nursery for now. I won't be shocked if he tries to find another home for it again in the future :) Thankfully he doesn't destroy or chew anything up! He just wants to sniff it out or lay on it. And who can blame him? Everything smells so good and feels so soft. 

I've been having lots of contractions, nothing too regular, so we're not ready yet, but I just feel better getting everything ready to go at home in case this little one does decide she's had enough of the cramped space and is ready to see the world. She's officially past full term, so I say we're ready for her whenever she wants to make her debut!

  1. Can't wait to see the nursery this week! Also: If you haven't seen The Avengers yet, I think you'd like it! It's really funny :)
