With less than 7 days left before I am going to the hospital, it's lucky that my Mom got here on Tuesday. It turns out that even in the midst of my nesting fervor, there were still quite a few things that we did not have. Swaddling blankets! Bath thermometer in the shape of a turtle! (to use in the bathtub in the shape of a whale, of course!) Baby lotion and shampoo! (to ensure that our baby does not lack the distinct baby smell!) Thankfully, I have only been going in for half days since the beginning of this week, and my Mom and I made an emergency trip to Babies R Us to fill up on the final essentials. Several hours and too much money later, my Mom is satisfied that it is safe for the baby to come back to our apartment. We also decided that this baby did not have enough knit/crochet items, so we had to make a quick pit stop at Michael's.
We are really starting to get excited about this baby's arrival... those little questions that we've all had from the beginning are finally going to be answered. Like every parent, we really wonder what she will look like. 1/4 asian babies are all over the spectrum in terms of coloring, from the very asian looking Jon and Kate plus 8 kids, who are in fact, only 1/4 Korean, to untraceable fair skinned kids with light eyes and hair. We'll find out in a week!
On a totally unrelated note, Chipotle has just surpassed its previous levels of awesomeness in my mind by picking my business card out of its fishbowl! My entire office will get free lunch at Chipotle on Monday! For ths first time, I am hoping NOT to go into labor until I can redeem this lunch for everyone.
