So, what have we been up to lately? For starters, we have been planning Anna Scott's nursery. The bedding and panels are not quite ready yet and most of her furniture is either on order or being painted, but her crib is up and ready. I will post pictures once the nursery is complete. Until then, pray that I don't get too impatient waiting for it all to come together! :)
We have also been preparing in other ways for her arrival. We have successfully registered for all of the baby items we want and need. This has been overwhelming but tons of fun all in one! I am so looking forward to my showers in the coming weeks! Below is the sign Scott's mother made for our registries. So sweet.
We have also added a personal touch to a few of her belongings. This is the blankie that was in her first Christmas stocking. I am sure Anna Scott will love this soft and cuddly friend.
"Home Improvements" has been a theme as of late. We have enjoyed updating a few aspects of our home (built in 1951). It's funny though, we would have never made these minor changes had we not been expecting a baby. A baby does change everything! :) Even our landscape has been given an extreme makeover during the past couple of days, thanks to Mario and his faithful crew. It was just about time for a change, but Anna Scott's arrival has certainly expedited the process. Now, I just have to pot a few plants/flowers and we will officially be ready for Spring!
As for me, I am feeling very well. School is about to be a lot less hectic. I will finish my 3rd year clerkships in just 3 weeks and I am looking forward to 3 months at home with Anna Scott before I start my 4th (and last!) year of medical school in August. I will graduate next May (2012)... we will have lots to celebrate then -- a much anticipated graduation and a special someone's 1st birthday! :)
That's a glimpse into our life as of late. Preparing for a baby is lots of work but oh so much fun.
