Listmania

Until the living room is finished and we can move our bedroom downstairs, I am unable to set up the baby's room. At first, I was unable to cope with the inability to put away tiny things and build my "nest". But, now that I have accepted that the room may not be ready in time, I have been able to shift into Plan B. At least now I am able to do something, even if it's not exactly what I want to be doing. I have started getting out baby things and cleaning them up. The swing is in the living room. The baby bath is at least out where I can find it. I have at least located the boxes of clothes and separated them into "unisex" and "boy". They may be stacked up in the upstairs foyer, but at least it's a start. I did find a used co-sleeper for our room. Asa made me set it up at 7:30 one morning, so it is up and ready to go.

One thing that I have been doing obsessively is writing lists. I have always been a list-maker, but lately I have lists coming out of my ears. I have a whole notebook of lists- lists of things I need to buy, things I need to do, things I can't do yet but will need to do, things I need to find, lists of my lists. It's a bit crazy. I do feel better knowing that my friend Bethany is doing the same thing. Like me, she will wake up in the middle of the night and need to make a list. I must not be the only crazy pregnant momma out there.

Maybe I'll be suprised and the room will be ready in the knick of time. Jeff has made a lot of progress lately. With only six weekends until my due date, and no guarentee that I'll make it that long, I think I'll play it safe and stick with my Plan B.
