Eagerly Doing

I'm in full nesting mode, Eric laughed at me yesterday and said "you're the only woman I know who nests with a drill." I'm, at the moment, feeling good about slowly but surely getting things done without neglecting everything and everyone not on the list. Just for posterity, and Victoria, here's a little report on that To Do list (er..."Project Priorities," I never said I had to get it all done in one week...)

THIS WEEK'S PROJECT PRIORITIES:
Build a co-sleeper, paint it, make the mattress and bedding (not even started. Well, I have the foam for the mattress in front of me to cut, but I don't want to get up to find the right cutting stuff, so I thought I'd blog instead ;-)

Throw a baby shower for a best friend from high school this weekend (Done, and done. And I think it went really, really, well. I hope she felt the love! Hopefully I'll get pictures from someone to document some of the fun things we did. I was told it was all very pinterest-able).

prime, paint, and seal the dresser we bought off Craig's list for the girls' "new" room (IN PROGRESS!!! Priming was the biggest job, painting is nearly done, and then a quick seal coat. Should be done by tomorrow morning...)

Finish readying the "Master"- i.e., move more stuff to storage, make room for the cosleeper, get uber-organized and calm in this space (done all I can until I get the co-sleeper complete. I'm waiting on Eric to have time to cut the plywood-- I'll pick up a drill or even make some miter cuts, but angling a 4x8 sheet of plywood on a table saw with my current balance and obstacle course-causing belly?? Not so much)

make a going home outfit for Baby Boo (nope. I planned one and then bought one instead, "just in case" I had a baby early and didn't get a homemade one done. Eric vetoed the idea in favor of other projects that needing getting done. It was quite sweet.)

Pack hospital bag (DONE!! Granted, I waited till 38+ weeks to do it, but we are just fine)


So that's the report. I'm also mostly done with Baby Boo's newborn stuff, still need to finish up some blankets and sew a few sleep sacs I've cut out. I've been trying, too, to spend more conscious time actually preparing for labor: cleaning up the labor playlist, meditating/relaxing, refresher reading, stretching and massages, and resting.
