holy crap!!! maizie will be here next month! suddenly i feel quite unprepared for her...we dont even have a diaper bag yet, or a car seat. so for sure the car seat has to be one of our next purchases. talk about procrastination. BUT we do have diapers and clothes so at least she will look cute and be well fed as long as i am around.
people have asked me if i have her room ready, and i dont. with us moving and me still working odd hours it felt like an impossible task. so instead of stressing myself out about it i decided her room could wait until after she is here. especially since she will pretty much be in her cradle in our room for a while. yes, i am that over protective mother who cant stand to have the cord cut...at least i admit it.
last night i was sitting and watching maizie move and i got the distinct impression that when she is in school we are going to be getting a lot of phone calls from teachers telling us how bright maizie is and how very social she is and that maybe if she would apply herself more her grades would be better. to which i will probably say, true. i guess i just hope that she is curious and interested in what there is for her to learn but i also dont want her to be the nerdy little kid who gets a 4.0 and never misses a day of school and gets ulcers trying to figure out what she wants to be by third grade. i just want her to be happy. and i guess if the 4.0 and never missing a day makes her happy then thats what we'll do, but i never want her to feel forced into it.
i can't WAIT..you better post a million pictures. Wish we were neighbors!
