Keeping Busy

K and I finally got the baby's dresser assembled - it was WAY MORE involved than I thought it was going to be, but I actually enjoy assembling furniture, so I enjoyed the process and felt complete gratification once the dresser was standing in its new home in our walk-in closet. I also assembled the bassinet (thanks TA, DS & SS!), and it is just precious. Just a little more to assemble and we are set. I put away all the baby clothes, and the closet is really starting to look like Baby Central. Bouncers are powered and ready to go, and Brooklyn is fascinated (or horrified, I can't tell) by the noise the bouncers make, so I have to make sure to play it at least once a day so she will be used to it. My Mother is obsessed with the name Etienne (while a pretty, French name, and in keeping with my love of French, we are not naming the baby Etienne). She cracks me up!

Coming Together

I've washed all the baby clothes we have received, and looking at the collection, I was overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and support - I feel like we are truly sharing this momentous event with everyone, which is just beautiful. THANK YOU!!! It's been very chilly at night, so I've been a little obsessed with making sure the baby will have warm digs for when he comes home and for his first months of life out of the womb. I started to hang up his collection of sweaters and outerwear, and it just looks so cute in the closet, so small. I am just beside myself! I also put together his Rainforest Bouncer; I love doing that stuff. It's really coming together. Today, however, I am really tired, so I am going to listen to my body and nap it out, leave the screwdriver for another day.
