We've got a delivery date in October now. It will be a Friday :-) It's one day before the U/S due date and 9 days before the LMP due date... all for the sake of school. I'll take one final the day before he's supposed to be born and a week later I start a web programming class. If he decides to arrive earlier than that - it's entirely up to him and school will need to work around it.
His crib is all assembled for whenever he does arrive. He's got a little one for when he first comes home - that's in our room. His full size crib is at his grandma's for now. Matthew put it together the night before the baby shower and it's just beautiful. His great-grandparents went in together to get it for him. We ordered the matching changing table yesterday. I'd meant to get it local, but the best laid plans and all that.... We do still need to pick out a mattress for the full size crib. I think I've got it covered. :-)
It's probably considered taboo for us to have had a shower for the baby, but there were a million factors in play and I will not feel guilty for not adhering to some etiquette rule, long out dated, and not really the be all or end all of life. I'd never had one before and it was the most wonderful afternoon.
We should begin painting next weekend. I'd have preferred this weekend, but there's a lot going on already. I've about driven Matthew crazy with color swatches and what-if's. I know he'll be glad when it's all done. We will start with the nursery, but continue on from their to get the other two bedrooms on that side of the house.... and hey, while we're at it, we'll paint the hallway and the family bath. Eventually there's colors chosen for the living room and the dining room (currently being used as an office). Then if we can fit it in the budget... replacing the carpet. Finger's crossed and high-hopes. I don't think the little guy's going to notice the floor for a few months any way.
