James spent a while reorganizing the furniture in the baby’s room today.  My lazy ass sat downstairs and cut up cardboard from the shipping boxes in the meantime.  The end result is that the baby has a passable “nursery” now.  None of the furniture matches, of course - it wouldn’t fit in well with our general decor if things were all perfect, now, would it? 

We also realized that we have a handful of the wrong size sheets.  Doh!

Now that this site is mostly set up, it’s time to begin keeping the journal!

The baby is almost ready to come and meet the world.  Right now I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I most certainly look and feel it.  I’m almost finished with what has been a quite interesting and unique experience, and hopefully there’s some wisdom gained to go along with that.  Not only that, but as far as the pregnancy part goes, the pleasant part is almost over!  I am, however, looking forward to getting the use of my body back – I can’t much reach my legs to shave them or stand/walk excessively without becoming quickly hot and exhausted.

The room is almost set up; we have furniture including a crib, and we have a bunch of random clothing.  We have our stroller kit/travel set thingie, and we have the paranoia monitors.  There’s a considerable amount of uncertainty as this is our first experience with tiny little human creatures. 

Hopefully we’ll do a good job and raise a kid we’re proud of!
