Way to go! That is so inspiring.

In the last week I have:

1)Changed the blinds to curtains
2)Cooked two freezer meals (meatloaf & chicken italienne for pastas)
3)Washed and put away more baby clothes, blankets, dipes, etc.
4)Finally booked an appointment to get my car window fixed! No draft for baby! (pricey though, )
5)packed the hospital bag
6)did a huuuge grocery expedition to stock the freezer
7)bought some nursing bras
8)found a diaper bag
9)ordered some cloth mama pads!
10)bought (part of) my dad's xmas present
11)wrapped my mom's
12)finished the final copy of my birth plan and got it signed

I still have to:

1)Apply for E.I.
2)make more food for the freezer (muffins!)
3)buy more presents for xmas
4)Make the family xmas stockings
5)Look into ice packs & another water-proof mattress pad
6)Hem the curtains
7)Give birth to a baby.

YAY! The to-do list is the smaller one!!!

farren, you are getting there!!
i especially love the last item on your list.


but can we ever really get it all done?

today we got the shelves up in our laundry room & tiled the base of the wood stove hearth i also made 2 of the freezer meals i had planned (way more than 2 really since i made a dozen burritos and 30 spinach feta/kale filo pies!)


tomorrow i plan to make lasagne's and shepphard's pies for the freezer..
(wish me luck ) and some chocolate zuchinni muffins (im tired even thinking about it)




i also completed my baby socks & hat set and they are in the wool wash soak right now.. it feels so good to get these things done. i mean, i kind of wish baby was here already, on the other hand if he was then i wouldn't have been as ready.

what else.. got the herbs for our lotus birth. im REALLY hoping the silk ribbon for the cord wrapping is in the mailbox waiting for me tomorrow i think i have everything else for that now.

i guess we need to blow up the pool at some point, but i know its clean and fine since my SIL used in in july...dp supposidly has the rest all set to go. he has done this 2 times before

i guess i also want to get my birth altar stuff in one place so i can set it up when labour starts..
and supposedly my friends are going to have a blessing-way sometime soon for me .. but i dont know details and dont know if it will happen before baby come sor not. i guess it just depends on timing at this point

still hoping for a baby in october.. Halloween night late would be perfect.
that would make him 39 weeks, just like his brother was

wow! Lots of progress being made!

I recently-
made new slippers for mama (me!)
painted my living room/dining room/play area
winterized all our windows
made insulated drapes for 5 full length windows
finished the children's room drapes
made a couple of freezer meals
got a load of firewood

now I need to-
finish knitting the baby sleep sack
wash up baby clothes and diapers
finish the baby quilt
lanolinze woolies
make drapes for our patio doors
get my ducks butchered
gather the rest of my birthing supplies
more freezer meals
get my beef from the locker (2 hours away!)
get my new benches for our dining room (same road trip as the beef)
finish painting the trim in my kitchen (might have to wait until after baby comes)

and if I am really ambitious- paint my sewing room- it is gross and yucky right now.

other than the sewing that i wanted to do, which i just cant while my mother is around, im ready. i cant believe that i have actually accomplished everything. now i probably get to wait another 2.5 weeks before i meet my baby..*sigh*
