    You Don't Need To Be Prepared For A New Baby, Do You?

    So, I haven't been boring you will all the lame details of how we haven't moved yet.  But...yeah, we haven't moved yet.  And remember how I said all would be right with the world because I would have about 5 weeks after we closed before New Baby came? I don't know where that time went, but there is potential for New Baby to be here NEXT WEEK.  That's right folks, I said next week.  If all goes according to plan, and to be honest, that hasn't really happened up until this point, we will be moving today (Wednesday). 

    Do you want to know what I have done so far to prepare for New Baby?  I set up the porta-crib.  Yup.  That's it (but as a side note, it's a really nice porta crib.  I figure since New Baby won't even get a real crib until Little Man is done with his, I could at least give him/her a halfway decent place to sleep when he/she isn't in bed with me...).  My biological need to nest is making me crazy and I can't do anything about it.  I am currently OBSESSED with finding my ring sling and my Ergo carrier.  Obsessed.  Like that dog in UP who really wants to talk to you, but keeps getting distracted by the squirrels.  You may think I am paying attention to you, but really I am mentally trying to remember where I packed them and where they might be in our house or in my sister-in-laws, where we still have one load to pick up.  Why so obsessed, you ask?  Well, I just imagine that I am going to need, need, NEED both hands at all times to be able to tend to Little Man, and how am I going to do that without my carriers? 

    I have all Little Man's old clothes packed up and it would probably be nice to get some of the unisex ones out so New Baby maybe has something to wear. Or maybe I could pick out some names.  Seriously...so unprepared.  For any of you who know me outside of this blog, you know all of this is so unlike me, it is ridiculous.  I'm totally taking suggestions for names and offers of help at this point.  If you want to come hang out with a 9 month pregnant crazy lady who has no idea what needs to be done, but whatever it is it Better. Get. Done. NOW--just let me know, I'm sure I can give you some non-specific job to do that makes me feel better and essentially accomplishes nothing. 

    Holy Crap.  I'm having a baby.  In like 5 minutes.  And I am moving.  Seriously, people...don't do this to yourself.

    And as a side note--we won't have any internet at the house until August 9th.  If I fall off the face of the earth, that is why.  I don't have the drive to type my blogs out on my iPhone.  But, if we do have the baby--I will take advantage of the quiet time and free wi-fi at Backus to let you know how it all went, because I know you will be dying to know!
