Coming Soon

11 weeks until the critter is due. Scary. For so long his arrival seemed very far off, but now it seems soon. Very soon.

We have no baby infrastructure! Sure, family and friends have started to send clothes and toys and some other small items, but we are generally not ready for a baby. We have no car seat. We have nowhere for crit to sleep. We have no DIAPERS!

After tomorrow night, the hectic holiday season will be over, and we can begin hectic baby prep season. There will be shopping trips. There will be home reorganization and packing. There will be birthing classes and infant care classes and breastfeeding classes. There will be midwife appointments every two weeks (at least). There will be many questions and forms (for the hospital, for our insurance, for my leave at work). We need to find a pediatrician.

There will be fun things like my baby shower and the continued goodness of Bikram yoga, but these too will help ensure that the weeks fly by.

Soon this critter knocking around inside my belly will be a little person of the world. Oh, I'm not afraid of having to take care of him. I'm afraid of missing something important from my to do list.
