Life Lately

We have been busy.  I am in school, working and preparing for our baby (not much preparing, the other two take  a lot of time).  B is working and playing a lot of sports (sort of joking).  So I never update.  I don't have time to journal either.  This is really sad, sometime later down the road I am sure I will want to know what was happening during these months and all I will have is the memory of being really busy.

10 more weeks to go.  We are so not ready for this.  And yet, we feel totally calm about that.  Because frankly, I don't think anyone if fully ready.  I mean, you can have all the stuff you need, but I am not convinced anything prepares you to be parents.  And most people make it through.  I am pretty sure the day after Thanksgiving we will be celebrating by buying everything we think we need for a baby that we aren't borrowing from friends.  Baby stuff is expensive, and our apartment is small.  And I am really bad at planning.  I also think we will be really grateful to have amazon prime
(2 day free shipping) and live a block from a grocery store (diapers and wipes in ten minutes).

The past few days I have decided that we are going to have a crazy baby.  A little break dancer who loves to party all night long.  When I lay down, the party starts.  It is really fun to feel and see movement, but I am trying to think of ways we could get the baby to party during the day and sleep during the night.  Somehow I feel this struggle might be an ongoing one.
