Waiting for baby...

We're down to less than two weeks until due date! We are so excited!

I've been so busy during the last couple of weeks, getting everything ready. I actually have a bag packed for the hospital this time around. (Last time I ended up lying on the living room floor, shouting out orders to Trev in between contractions...) I've assembled the bassinet, washed and sorted baby clothes, cleaned *most* of our apartment, even found time to make some little baby clothes. Funny really, it was easier to find time for that, than scrubbing the kitchen floor!

I'm grateful that Luke is such a good sleeper and that he goes to bed at a decent hour (before 7pm) and sleeps right through, giving me plenty of time to clean or do whatever needs to be done. We do wonder how Luke will adjust to being an older brother and whether he will be jealous, happy, welcoming or naughty towards the new baby. I suppose we will find out!

This is an exciting time for us!

Here are a few pictures of Luke in the last few weeks. It has been cold but we've been going outside every day, and Luke loves that. I don't have a picture, but his latest craze is pushing the stroller (pushchair) himself. He seems so proud of himself when he is toddling along with that thing!

I knew there was a reason I brought these nesting dolls back when I went to Russia 5 years ago!

I think you are very curious about new baby. Your son Luke must be very lucky to have a mother like you. He is looking very cute in those pictures, when you shop for your new baby do consider Hauck baby products which are very durable and convenient to use.
