Why is there a police car in front of your house?
Friday was a reality check-we realized Thanos was coming whether we were ready or not. A couple of weeks ago I made a list and stuck it on the fridge. I am happy to report that we have made excellent progress on that list now. I am also both proud and embarassed to say that after a year of living here, we have hung pictures on the wall and unpacked all necessary boxes!
Brentwood Granite came out and fixed the kitchen sink. We cannot use it or the dishwasher all weekend, so the kitchen looks like a war zone right now. On Saturday morning, Jay and I headed to Babies R Us to buy the must-have items for babies arrival, including the playard, tub, Baby Bjorn, and 2nd car seat. Grand total of almost 600 bananas-and that was ONLY for the last minute must haves.
Jay just kept muttering…I wonder how the cavemen survived.
Jay called James and enlisted his help with cleaning the garage. I went to the grocery store to get beer. I called the police on the way there (because that’s what you do when you get beer) to come over and help us install the car seat. Turning down our street, I saw James’ car in front of me and honked. He waved me up to talk to him and asked…”Why is there a police car in front of your house?”
Faster than Domino’s, the policeman (and no, I did not call Dusty Rhoades) arrived to help us with the installation. It was very straightforward and he installed it in my car, explained everything to us, and then watched Jay install it in his car. He was super friendly and we had a good time chatting it up. It was probably a nice diversion for him.
After he left, Jay and James tackled the garage and somehow it came out sparkling! Way to go guys. Now, if you could just do something about the smell of Jay’s hockey gear, we would be in great shape.
I took a nap, packed my hospital bag and put it in the car while Jay assembled some of our new toys.
Oh, and one our more fun “must-haves” purchased a week ago…our first camcorder! Once I figure out how to use it, we will start posting some video.

I wanted to drop you a note that everything will be okay, even if he comes a little early. Science is amazing and so are you. Love to you and your husband and now your son!
Wow! Sounds like you have a had a pretty productive weekend! Hope you can continue to hold off those contractions!
Don’t forget to put chapstick in your hospital bag!
Chapstick? I so did not even think of that! Why??????
Um…..Are you nesting????
