3 weeks to go

37 weeks

Spring is here! We put the trampoline up on Saturday and the kids have spent at least 2 hours / day on the thing, and there's no time like right after a meal (take your pick, they're out there RIGHT after eating). Today was the first rainy day we've had since the rain was snow, so we spent more time inside - and had to say no to an after dinner park + baseball trip - a popular (with Hendrik) new pastime we've enjoyed three or four times since the weekend. I think we are getting close to being ready for baby, but I do wonder how ready one can reaaaallly be. At least we have all of the basics in the house - diapers, wipes, a place for baby to sleep, some clothes etc., so we're off to a decent start. We're trying to figure out whether or not to get a comfy chair (and if so what kind of chair) for the nursery, but after several shopping trips we are still unsure. We need the furniture store for tall people! There are a few chairs in the running, but for the most part we are way too big for gliders and recliners (and most other things). Anyways! Steve made a bench, we bought some wall stickers and a few pillows (a first for me - I'm not a huge fan of decorative pillows), and there are just a few things left on the master baby list. Other news: we head to Bowmanville this weekend for a quick one night visit to celebrate Steve's cousin's 50th birthday, Alana's preschool's annual fundraising event is tomorrow night (I'll go and Steve will babysit), and my neighbours (Liz and Sandra) are throwing a little neighbourhood baby shower for me next week - !! Events galore. And then baby! I still have a feeling that he'll be early, but who knows. Time to go and catch up with my hubs - we've been busy in different directions all day. Until next time!
