Theoretically, this weekend brought some downtime--no travel, no grand plans, no Lamaze. In reality, the Collins household was, minus Shergar, a whirlwind of activity.
From putting up border paper in the baby's room to tidying the basment, fixing a window, defoliating the garden, installing the car seat, completing my 3 months of work expenses, arranging flights for Thanksgiving, and touring the hospital, we toiled amidst 95-degree temperatures and cavernous boxes of soon-to-be-opened baby products. That we are alive today to tell the story is no mean feat in itself.
The short-but-informative hospital tour confirmed some of our major assumptions; the rooms ARE private, they DO get cell-phone signals, and there IS a fridge for clearly-marked champagne.
Tonight, we go to get the car seat safety-checked. It appears a little large for the Jeep (butting up against the two front seats) but should be okay. We have no intention of buying a new car to fit around the kid-pod.
Shergar is convinced that the junior soccer balls I recieved as a gift for coaching the kids team are actually hers and she makes repeated forays into the baby's bedroom to stare, gesture, and cry. This could be interesting...
