So we are getting down to the wire! 66 days or 10 weeks or 2 months to go. Anyway you look at it we are CLOSE!! And I am tired. Everything is exhausting and a real chore to do. I don't remember this stage with Alex being so tiring, probably because I was working full time still and had to get off my butt and get things done. But I am finding it pretty easy to sit down and put my feet up. Our house is all decorated and waiting for Santa. All of my Christmas shopping is done! Pat has to still pick up some stuff but just some little stuff for me. And since this Wednesday is Alexandria's last day of pre-school until January, we will be much less busy by the end of the week.
The nursery is coming along nicely. Two of the walls are covered in beige paint, and by tomorrow there will 2 cost of a very pretty blue on another wall! The closet is started and in the works. I'm already dreaming of setting up the crib and hanging pictures! I can't wait to wash all his little clothes and put them in his new closet. This week I'm going to get his hospital bag all ready, early you may say but I'm not taking any chances ;) I will also be getting my bag ready. I joined a February Birth club online and already there are 10 babies born! Its really amazing what leaps and bounds our medical system has made even in the last 50 years, that a baby can be more over 2 months early and not only live but have a normal, healthy life, just amazes me!
As usual we are going to be very busy over the holidays. We have the Bridge family Christmas this coming Saturday, along with Pats company Christmas party. The weekend after we are going to a Jon Lajoie show on the Friday night and on Saturday is the Christmas Tree Tea that my crazy mother is hosting. For those who don't know every second year the crazy lady decorates her entire house with over 40 Christmas trees. They come in all shapes, styles, colors, & theme's. It's very beautiful and both Alex and I are looking forward to it. So that puts us into Christmas where will will divide our time between Linda's, Martine & Stan's and Randy & Jo's. And after that we will relax and sleep for a week before starting a marathon of cooking and cleaning in preparation for Joseph's arrival.
Hope everyone has a great pre-Christmas rush. Drive safe and enjoy the process!
