with a mere 8-10 weeks until kiddo arrives, we've finally got the nursery painted, the curtains up, and most of the furniture in place. the crib goes up this weekend. and then we get to figure out where to put all sorts of baby stuff (most of which is huge, considering the size of babies) in our tiny little house.
i bought him a fantastic mobile at ten thousand villages, far more interesting than anything babies-r-us has.
this past weekend, my mother-in-law threw a baby shower for us. it was lovely. my parents came down for a few days and we had fun together, despite some rather cowardly person who dented my dad's company car and then left, leaving only a name and number on a slip of paper.
my ability to read and rationalize is rapidly diminishing, which is a rather frightening experience. the history books i used to devour are now far too difficult for me to focus on. my entire focus in life is now my son. and while he will always be the center of my little world, i do hope to regain at least some of my mental faculties in terms of vocabulary and memory and the like. wish me luck.
I really like the mobile! Tina called that mental state "baby fog" - I think it took about three months after Jack was born for it to lift, and it definitely didn't seem to be as bad with Finn. Remember that the best moms are also real people who remember their own wants, needs, and interests outside of their kids!
