7 Months ... Holy Shit!

Two months from today is Uno's EDD. Part of me feels anxious for that day to get here, but then I remember that before he arrives, I need to attend two weddings, go to NYC, host Thanksgiving dinner and do enough work to get respectable grades in my 17 units of law school, and oh ya, learn how to be a parent... hence the "holy shit!"

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that the nursery is complete... i.e. bedding washed and put on the mattress I made PJO go buy with me today to put in our crib that was delivered this week which has the matching mobile attached to it already... I always try to rationalize being so ahead of schedule by saying that I wouldn't want to wait until 8 or 9 months when I have final exams and papers and other really important stuff that I couldn't possibly spare a single minute setting up the nursery. First of all, this just isn't the rationalization that prompted me to do all of this in the first place. Second of all, there is no better time to procrastinate than during finals, and I really couldn't afford to spare a singe minute this weekend considering I have a final paper due in a week that is sitting right at the 3-page mark. BUT YAY, it's done and I can send people pictures of it now!

Finally, here's a picture of the steadily growing baby bump from right before I headed over to the shower yesterday:

You look great! And don't worry about being too far ahead of the game - I think it's great you've got the nursery done. You won't have to worry about it during exams!

I love your dress! And you do look amazing! I want to see pictures of the nursery!!! I totally understand wanted to get it done early, it's so much fun getting the room prepared for baby. It makes it seem that much more real :)
