Perhaps I should empty the crib while I'm at it?
Yesterday, my OB/GYN announced that my seven+ pound child could possibly make his appearance before my appointment next week. I went into panic mode because, hello? I'm having a baby, and I STILL haven't bought baby socks! Or a diaper bag. Or crib bedding. Or a baby monitor. Or a Boppy Pillow. Or anything that would amuse an infant like a swing, bouncy seat or mobile. Apparently my nesting instinct has been replaced by the much stronger Sit On The Couch And Eat A Whole Box Of Honey Bunches of Oats instinct.
I do however have a small stack of wonderfully organized to-do lists. They even have bullet points and numbers! (The road to H-E-double hockey sticks: I'm paper mache-ing it with my meticulously detailed lists.)
Last night, I spent two hours driving around looking for a diaper bag which I never did find because EVERYTHING IS PINK. But! I have baby socks. We still need to get everything else, but it's okay because we have baby socks. Which I am totally tempted to wear on my nose.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an important meeting with a cereal box. Mmmmm.
I LOVE YOU Kate!
You and your amazing writing abilities ;).
You are going to be an awesome Mommy and I can't wait to see you and Hobie and little Mr. O in July! Love love love you ALL!

Get him a pink one if you like pink! There's no point in gendering a baby anyway, they all look pruney and asexual.

How's about one more belly pic before little Mr. O busts out? hehe

heh LOVE your writing.
I remember when I was having Baby4 and we found out it was a girl (I didn't find out with 1-3) and I was looking for everything pink in the WORLD and there was only BLUE AND BLACK strollers. I was So Disgusted. Why didn't they have Screaming Pink Strollers at ToysRUs? But then... finally... I settled on the subtle green and tan plaid. It worked out just fine. She was still girly. heh
Good luck finding everything you need. Honest, you can get all that stuff later. Have you tried some resale shops Mommy? :)

Don't sweat it they will probably give you like 2 baby bags at the hospital! Gotta love those promotional items!
