Someone wise once said: Opinions are like bellybuttons; everyone's got one, but they're not particularly useful. So keeping this wise saying in mind, my intention for this blog is to share my opinions/perspectives on any issue that may crop up related to parenting, friendships, family, work and life in general.

Birdlike tendencies
Wow, this is new, something I never experienced in my first pregnancy, NESTING! I find I have this incredible urge to organize! Especially related to baby items, old and new! We made a large purchase earlier this week, dressers for all 3 bedrooms! It hurt a bit in the pocketbook, but has really done wonders in terms of getting everything to make sense! We went to Ikea knowing exactly what we wanted, a large 6 drawer dresser for our room, and two smaller 3 drawer dressers for each of the kidlets rooms. (By the way, their new store in O-Town, is crazily gigantic. I almost didn't last the whole way through! Hubby offered to let me ride on the furniture trolley and push me to the end...) They are all the same colour, black/brown and should serve us well over the next several years. The best part is that they are made of actual wood! Not stupid press board or whatever it's called! I've also been through a lot of big brother's clothes to clear out stuff that is clearly "boy" and pack away what we can potentially reuse. Next person I know having their first boy is going to get a very large donation! I just don't have enough room in my house to keep it all. Buying a bigger house is certainly NOT going to happen. :) We are down to a matter of days before D-Day (Daughter Day!) and I'm not panicking but certainly wanting to get things done soon!

Shut the front door
It has seriously been over two months since my last post? Sheesh. Neglectful of me! We are now in the countdown phase to baby girl's arrival...July 2/13 will be the big day! I have officially stopped working, yay! Now feeling more tired than ever, especially in the evenings where I am sure my whole body has mysteriously transformed into lead! It's hard to be slow and not want to be! Took my bug to the park yesterday after school and just about died on the walk home which seriously, takes only 5 minutes...sigh. Not to mention all my appts at the hospital with the worst parking on the planet. Omg, am I complaining again? I really try not to do that....but it's inevitable.
So BABY DAY is scheduled for July 2nd, it really can't come fast enough. I know I will have recovery time to cope with but I'm so anxious to meet our little girl. So are Daddy and Big Brother. Seems like it's taking forever!
