Ready

So, what REALLY needs to be done before a baby arrives? Well, as I'm sure Stace can attest to - not that much... Alot of things will fall into place, even if you don't feel like you've done much to prepare. And that's kind of what happened with Loki.

We were still living at Whitebread's parents house when he was born. The contractors weren't even finished working on our attic. We didn't have any water and nothing was unpacked. Limbo was like an understatement.

But this time...this time is different.

This time I've got my ducks in a row. In fact, they are in so fine a row - it's almost annoying.

All of Ms. Elora's clothes have been washed and separated by size (did I mention that she has more clothes than WB, Loki & I put together?! ...thank you, Reagan!). Space has been made in the nursery for a few more "girly" things - think mermaids to compliment all of Loki's pirate stuff.

The rest of our house has really been spruced up and undergone a pretty deep cleaning. In fact, all of the art work we'd been meaning to hang since we moved in last year FINALLY got hung!

Everything is set up work wise for a few weeks off. In fact, I've had my shit so together, I've found myself almost twiddling my thumbs a few days this week. That NEVER happens!

I've been taking a ridiculous amount of herbs. I've been doing all of my pre-labor stretching and exercising. And our shower curtains have been aired out.

My toenails are painted, my hair is done, I shaved my legs (pardon their whiteness) and Whitebread hennaed my very pregnant belly!

I mean really, what else could she possibly be waiting for?

Maybe she's expecting a party?
