Right now my life consists of...
Hurry up to wait. My least favorite game.
Hospital bag is mostly packed. I am adding an emergency toiletry bag this week (to include some "shower to shower," ...good wet wipes, makeup remover wipes, and dry shampoo... because it occurs to me that first 48 hours I'm in the hospital basically alone except for the baby and a nurse. I may not want to wait on L to come visit to feel "clean" and get a "pirate's bath" may be the best I get)
I have nightgowns, nursing bras, granny undies, slipper socks.
Need to throw a maxi dress and flip flops in there for the ride home.
A friend had not one but TWO of the dresses I was looking for for the baby and is sending them to me. Need to grab bloomers and a soft bow.
I'm stocked on reading materials and coloring books for the many hours I'll be alone. Since I hate most TV.
I have some last minute random things to get (a cheap wreath holder.. for example, the above stuff from Walmart *worst case scenario these are all items I can send L for if I do go into labor before I manage to make it to the store)
I've got lists made for groceries and Walmart of our typical "bi weekly needs" should he need to supply the house.
The kids activities are clearly listed and marked in "the Bible" (my planner)
There are enough "starter meals" and foods in this house to where I feel comfortable they won't starve.
The house is in manageable condition for him (very clean and fairly organized... if he can't figure it out he's learning impaired)
I was planning on laying the girls clothes out for the WEEK the night before we go. (Tues-Thurs...since I'll be home that Monday to get them ready) but there is no way for me to really prep for that weather wise last minute...so if we go early he's on his own. (He doesn't even know their sizes...lord bless it)
I need to move my jewelry "necklace" holder to the other side of the dresser so the baby doesn't randomly pull on a piece of costume jewelry and kill itself in all our sleep ...
I'm rambling.
Like. I keep finding things to do to keep busy because .. we still have not quite three weeks. And I feel...oddly unprepared and yet I'm in a far better position and prepared than I was the last three times.
This is the crap I do when heartburn yanks me from a sound sleep at 3 am. I make up more shit to do while waiting for March 7th or contractions.
Whichever happens first.
