We had our scan
People are starting to ask questions about our plans for various bits and pieces of the pregnancy, birth and homecoming. They always take me by surprise... and "OH RIGHT! This might just end with us bringing home an infant! OMG I can't think about that right now." So yeah. That's where I'm at. Ostrichville. I'm making any and all commitments only when absolutely necessary.
Along those lines, we received our first baby gift last week. It was very sweet, but I would have preferred for that milestone to come a little later. Oddly enough, nobody asked me my opinion. After we opened the gift, I wrapped it back up and tucked it aside. Not like there is ANYWHERE in this house for us to store baby stuff yet. My due date is late July so Prof and I have agreed to think about the nursery in May.
Ostrichville, population 2 (or three if we count the Inhabitant).
Ostrichville is such a nice and quiet place to be in, with good news seeping in week by week.
ReplyDeleteIn Holland we have such a thing as (paid) pregnancy leave, starting 6 weeks before the due date. So that is when I first went to the library to get some books about the inevitable...
But before viability there was No Way I was going to make any specific plans whatsoever.
Glad to hear you two have agreed on 'May'.
(I remember I stored the first gifts in the same bag as the positive pregnancy tests, at the back of my linen closet)
Oh those FERTILES always jumping ahead with the early baby presents!! Glad you and the inhabitant are doing well, thanks for the update!
