Looking back to about 3pm on Saturday I saw myself in a very clean house, food ready to be served, friends on the way over for a party and me, a little pregnant but happily very comfortable in my environment. I'm very thankul for that last hour in a peaceful, organized environment. Because our world has already changed in the few days since then.
It starts with FedEx. (Or UPS, but the white truck pulled up first.) A box arrives. Yay! Presents! And then FedEx comes back. Again. And again. And suddenly I can't open the door all the way. Wow. Presents! Leo's Grandmother and Aunt had fun shopping for our nursery furniture and it has all arrived. (Thanks Babci and Aunt Julie!) It is exciting and surreal and crazy. A crib! In my house! Leo and I thought we would maybe move it someplace else for a little while but when I got home yesterday I found him spread out on the floor among directions, wood pieces, a screwdriver and a beer in the baby-room-to-be. He was putting together the dresser! I knew he couldn't wait! So we finished the first of many assembly evenings to come. And it was so fun! The bedding set arrived and today a stroller got here. (Thanks Kate, Jess and Meghan!) Whoohooo! And now I am having wedding flashbacks. How exciting to come home to a new package! Fortunately I learned a thing or two and the thank you cards will get a permanent spot on the coner of my desk and a place designated for all reciepts and packing slips had been arranged. Anal or not - you need to do this!
And so it has begun. Our house will no longer be a model of perfect organization, efficiency and cleanliness. It will now be overrun with baby items - possibly the most spoiled child around already and he's not even here yet. What a lucky kid! I'm glad I have a lot of time to get used to this. . .
I'm going out for a bit tonight. I wonder what Leo will put together next . . .
