Awaiting, nesting, rocking...

It's October, the month in which I reach half way. I can't believe it's fall, let alone fast approaching the time in which we find out if I'm growing a girl-child or a boy-child (12 days and counting!). I'm feeling the same mysterious feelings down in my uterus, along with a handful of other interesting sensations. I'm still eagerly awaiting to see what they'll turn into.

I have begun some small nesting projects, which makes me feel a bit better about otherwise having prepared nothing so far. I've got extra shelves hung in the closet, a drawer in the nightstand cleared out with the diaper covers moved in, and part of a shelf in the hall closet cleaned off too. While that amounts to really not a whole lot of storage, every little bit helps, and I've also begun researching a toy/book shelf something-or-other to go out in the living room.

Also, I asked my mom if we could borrow her rocking chair. It turns out that the rocking chair was the very first present my dad gave to her as a married couple--given as a Christmas present in 1982. She fed me for the first time in that chair, rocked me every night in that chair, and now we're going to borrow it to rock this peanut in. That chair is going to really hold a lot of memories!
