Figuring we only have 2 more weekends with just the two of us, we had us a little stay-cation this weekend. We read, we ate, we slept and we talked... we stayed in our pjs, crossed things off of the to-do list, bought a few things, Kate learned how to sanitize bottles and pump supplies with a friend, and we ate some more. It was fantastic.
Tonight at dinner, we talked about "the plan" for when labor starts depending on where I (Kate) am when it happens, so that we both know what to expect and do when that happens. The mom and baby hospital bags are packed, and just need to be double-checked, and the dad bag needs to be packed too. We both gave each other hair cuts in the last week too, so that's not something we have to worry about for a while. The kitchen is clean, the laundry is caught up, the garbage will be taken out tomorrow morning. All of these small things feel like huge accomplishments as we try to be as ready as we can be for baby's arrival at any time.
We are on the same page with the readiness-factor, both having the same few things left to-do to truly be fully ready for this little one: install car seat and get it inspected, pack Louie's hospital bag, double-check the mom/baby hospital bags and this-just-completed: pre-register at the hospital. Otherwise, I think we're as ready as we can be for something we've never done before: become parents.
