After this weekend, my child is surely going to think I”m a NERD and I can’t help it! The highlight of my time off included baby preparation! Yay! I’ve finally had the chance and the reality has smacked me upside the head that I needed to accomplish tasks such as these, but I’ve been in a bit of denial that the baby’s arrival is coming sooner than I feel ready for. So, I’ve placed various items and carefully selected how I will lay the baby’s clothes in each drawer and exactly how I’m going to fold them AS IF they will ever stay this way–I’m sure my child will have its own thoughts of how to do things soon enough. From there, I spent time practicing how to use the stroller, how to fold it up, how to put on the brakes….because one can never be sure! I moved on to the car seat next, in which at this point, I was struggling with the fact that while the baby is an infant, it is BACKWARDS. All my logic and reasoning went out the door and Nic insisted that it goes like this. Finally, I could wrap my brain around it and he was right (again–this is happening entirely too much lately). I felt comfortable enough to let that go when he challenged me to a “race” to see who could figure theirs out the fastest. I declined. I have a belly and that is impending my superwoman abilities lately. We’ll wait until he has to do it by himself with the baby and then we’ll see who was paying attention!! Haha! The last part of my training was for the Moby wrap I purchaseda couple of months ago. I read the pamphlet and watched the DVD all the while practicing with a teddy bear. This session consisted of “Oh wait, pause it.” “Okay, I think I’ve got it!”
I suppose in short after doing these things, I had to wonder if anyone else tries to be educated and prepared as I do. I venture to guess that I”m close to one in a million! Maybe my baby will see this as a blessing or a curse, only time will tell!

You are so amazing and my grandbaby is very blessed to have you and Nic for parents. All the worry, all the practice and all stress will just melt away when you hold your bundle of joy and it will all fall into place and come naturally to you! You are a planner and prefer schedules & lists – so this time in your life is a bit scary to you as you walk on ground you are not familiar with. Rest assured God has the plan and schedule for you in his hands and you will be such a great Mom naturally. Have faith in yourself, just as we had faith this day would come!!
I Love You with all my heart Mom
Soon to be – Grandma D
