Car seat purchased, bottles sterilized, tons of tiny pink outfits washed and ready to pack. The list goes on and on. But the list is done! I've had a lot of things ready for months, but suddenly there seemed to be a million additional little (and big) things yet to do. My mom and I spent all day Saturday and Sunday running around, and now I feel really ready. I have everything set, including the birth parent gift basket. I even have my Christmas shopping one hundred percent done. Impressive, right?! We are ready for our daughter's arrival. Our daughter. Now just counting the days.
Saturday and Sunday was so much fun helping you get "really ready"!!!!
