Staying sane, one little project at a time

For the most part, I've been a good girl and stayed off my feet this weekend. With my eagle-eye husband home all weekend, it's hard to sneak in any activity! :0) But every now and then, I treat myself to a quick little baby-prep project, like yesterday's:

I opened a new package of diapers in anticipation of re-entering the "sweet newborn diaper phase" for what will probably be the last time. (Which I try not to think about! Sniff!)

Oh, my did I indulge in the moment. This brand is my absolute favorite...everything about it! The tiny size, the softest material in "diaperdom", the sweetest baby scent it comes built-in with...

Forgive my hand! Doesn't look like I'll be able to get out for a final mani before Stu arrives, and my hands are normally red and dry anyway from OCD washing. But add in the Swine Flu factor, and they're out of control! I can't even fit into any of my wedding rings anymore. This one was actually a ring my daddy bought me in high school that I used to wear on my middle finger before I got married. It's absolutely the only one that fits now! Thank goodness my beloved everyday pearls know no gold or silver distinctions, right?! I typically wear white gold.

I even took a picture of myself sniffing these cute little fragrant diapers, but I saved you from having to look at it by not posting it!



I got our changing table diaper basket all stocked for Stu. Rosie's diapers are on the left, Stu's teeny tiny ones are on the right.

And then I got our mini-changing station basket ready for our master bedroom. This little basket will go under Stu's cradle in our room once J gets it put together this week.

I wish all pregnancies came with as prepared a feeling as the subsequent children! The second and third rounds have been a piece of cake so far! It's so fun to know what to expect and especially to really have a handle on what works and what doesn't, what you like and don't like. It's such a reassuring feeling to kind of halfway know what you're doing!

Of course, once said bundle of joy arrives, it takes a good several weeks to find your new "normal". But at least the last weeks leading up to the arrival are somewhat smoother!

Unless you're told to stay off your feet as much as possible for your final pregnancy. This is a new one for me! Talk about being thrown for a loop. So far so good, but I'm still not a fan! :0)
