Writing that I am close to ready makes me feel as though that might be true.. .although I am having trouble believing that this baby is so close around the corner (almost 37 weeks now!)
I washed my new, cheap extra sheets and my nursing bras.
I have my bed liner and placenta container.
I still need to wash the baby clothes and put everything in the one place.
I also bought lovely massage oil, Emergen-C, and miso soup for labour.
I put relaxing songs on my iPod with an eye to what I would like in labour, and made a happy songlist in case I was feeling unenergetic.
My diapers and baby things are all ready to go.
We put in a spray hose-type shower head for labour, and are getting a bigger water tank installed today, too! (we have the weeniest one right now that doesn't even let you have a hot 10 minute shower!).
I am keeping up on my laundry and keeping the house down to a dull roar (ha! well, better than before).
Our pantry is stocked and our new freezer is packed to the gills. I went to a cool freezer place yesterday that sells extra-runs and seconds of frozen food (including yummy Indian-type dinners) and bought tons of meals and fruit and veggies and bread dough for the freezer and so we are *ready* from that perspective.
I am finishing up the craft projects I have on the go (wool soaker pants, a two blankets).
I am finishing work next week (although I still have one overdue client right now having her 8th baby -- we look about the same gestation and move as fluidly!). I am really hoping she has her baby by next week when I am supposed to go off, or I may need to stay on call for her, as ridiculous as that would be (but fine, I am sure).
We have a wardrobe we bought that needs to be built and installed, but it required a dresser be freecycled and moved, which is harder. Maybe I should just list it right now and start the process...
