this week

well, this week i've tried to do some finalization things for work for a little while, since i won't be "officially" at the office anymore for a while, though i do have my trust laptop that links up to the work computer and plenty of things to do for a little while. this week i have scheduled to get lots of last minute things accomplished here around the house before thursday's new arrival! in the midst of all these tasks, i am going to try to rest. hopefully i'll be able to manage both. i believe this is my last week to have Ms. Ladonna as Knox's babysitter, too, so this will present a change in schedule, as well. i think my mom is going to take knox for a few days after the baby is born to help give me a chance to "rest." :0) i don't know how much real rest i'll be able to get in, hopefully this new child will sleep a lot (at least at first). knox had a touch of gas for a little while, but it didn't really start at first. not until he was about a month or so old, i think. it's hard to remember.
so, this week i have a trip to the grocery store planned with the one and only, and newly married, robina; cook several dishes and freeze them for easy meals after thursday; putting away the last of the laundry (now that i have enough hangers); ordering/purchasing a couple of new warm onesie-type sleepers for the baby (all the little-bity sized onesies we have are not quite warm enough); maybe order a couple of extra lollies (blankies); order the bedding (yes, i'm last minute on that) and possibly a moses basket (anyone ever try that? i haven't. i'd love feedback if you have any); and finally, for the huge task that i think may be wishful thinking (and solely depends on my husband & father's schedules, as they will be doing all of the work, and i just point and talk)....rearrange knox/kuyper's bedroom and wesley & my bedroom! ha! i'm hoping for it, but i know deep down it's not utterly essential that it get done this week, since the baby will be in the same room with me & wesley for a little while.
anyway, i will be taking a couple of weeks off from photography and my desk job, though i plan on resuming photography very soon after kuyper's birth, if anyone needs/wants a photo session. please spread the word. :)
