20 days to go. . .

I have spent the past few weeks trying to prepare for our Little One's arrival. Our first week of Christmas Break, I got a stomach virus so bad that I had to spend 20 hours in the hospital taking in fluids and medication, so that knocked me flat for a few days. Then we spent Christmas in Winnfield, so I couldn't get anything done then either. Christmas was very nice by the way, it was wonderful to spend time with my in-laws. Once we got back home Sunday afternoon, we got to work in the nursery. We had to assemble a crib, dresser, playpen, stroller, and carseat; wash baby blankets, burpcloths, and bibs; wash 10 loads of baby clothes; drive to Bossier City to buy a changing table and then assemble it; and then work out all of the decoration details. Little One's bag is packed and ready for him, but I have yet to pack my own hospital bag. I plan to start on that soon. Needless to say, it has been a LONG week, and now that I have accomplished what I needed to accomplish, I'm only left with a few actual vacation days, and I have things to do then as well. Maternity Leave is starting to look very good from here. . . only 20 days (or less) until our Little One arrives!
