Week 34

Week 34! Busy times in our house! Bambino is still playing around in there, cooking to her absolute perfect state. Chris is busily scurrying between teaching classes at the usual university and another (long story...). Today, I am recovering from a busy weekend of wedding stuff (Bambino enjoyed the wedding of her "aunt" Michelle) and working way too hard. I'm trying to tie up loose ends at work, so I'll be prepared to drop everything at a moment's notice. I'm hoping that I'll feel ready for that possibility about 3 weeks from now.

We have some household projects to work on in the next few weeks. We have a friend coming by to help Chris secure our house a bit more. I have some more decor ideas for the nursery, but I'll probably wait a couple more weeks to work on that.

Then, I guess, we're ready when bambino's ready! Well, maybe I shouldn't get ahead of myself.... we have a childbirth class this Saturday night and then a baby care class in a couple of weeks. We should wait for those to happen before we really say that we're ready. :)

We're also planning a day trip to Cincinnati next Sunday. We decided a few weeks ago that we needed one last day of leisure together before the baby comes. We'll see the sites (possibly getting my company's seats to the Red's game), check out the new IKEA, visit our favorite mega grocery store (Jungle Jim's), have lunch or dinner at Rafferty's, and (if we can fit it in) go to the outlets on the way down or back. I'll be worn out when the day is over, but we desperately need a day where we both set aside our laptops and just spend time together.
