officially, four.
but dr. hersh doesn't think we'll make it through the weekend. we'll see. in the meantime, what i've been up to while waiting for arlo (other than contemplating re-writing beckett's play):
the blik stick-on banner above his crib.
his nursing/reading/playing area in the kitchen nook we never used. i made the green knitted blanket on the chair, and i wish i could say that the baby piano was the same one i had when i was little, but alas, andy bought it a couple of years ago at a resale shop. the shelves hold books and toys (details next photo) and the rocking chair pillow and rug are from ikea. the bone in the foreground belongs to lincoln.
from right: the little bear was andy's, the knit kitty was mine from my nana. the gray bins are from target and hold assorted toys, and on the shelves and in the basket are the aforementioned 64 books...
his corner of our room. among the things on the shelf: cutest baby converse EVER from kirsti, little blue knitted booties from l.e., a little keepsake box from roxanne, and a tiny painting of "happy" the dwarf by my tia olginha from brazil (that she probably painted in 1950).
his changing area in our bathroom. in the foreground, obviously his changing pad and a cute blue bird nightlight. on the shelf: towels, washcloths, and burt's bees toiletries. diapers and wipes in the green basket. once he comes home, we'll be using 7th generation newborn disposables and wipes, but once his umbilical cord heals, we're switching to gdiapers (more on those in a later post).
missing from this photo: the WHALE OF A TUB that lauren and adam got us. i'm waiting til arlo's here to take the "baby in a bath" photo and post it...
uh-huh. this is what they mean when they say "nesting instinct". sometime around week 37, i became obsessed with washing and folding baby clothes. and purchasing color coordinated baskets and shelf paper. clockwise from the top left: basket full of socks, green basket with birth to 3 months pjs, green basket with birth to 3 month day time clothes, stacks of blankets, blue baskets of 6 months + clothes.
should he linger longer, expect photos of my hospital bag soon. i feel for you folks.
