The crib is assembled, we have enough diapers to last a few weeks, formula and bottles are ready to go. Clothes and blankets are washed, but don't get me started on washing the bedding. Lainey's even practicing her big sister skills. I'm busy trying to get the house ready. It seems to me that it doesn't matter if you give birth or "pick one up" for lack of better terminology, every mother nests. The day we got the call that Lainey was about to arrive, I was making thank you cards. This time, I'm planning how to do the announcements. The past few weeks have brought back wonderful memories of our first days, actually hours, with Lainey, stuff I had forgotten about, like the noises she made when she had a bottle, or just how tiny her diapers were. I am so excited to experience it all over again.

All of sudden, Lainey has started feeding cuddling her dolls. When I asked her if she wanted a baby, she said, "No." When I asked her if Mama should get a baby, she said, "yes." Any way you look at it hon, WE are getting a baby!

We are hoping that we will be able to bring Talan home soon too:) Talan is getting close, he is 4lbs. 3.9oz. and 17in. long and drinking bottles of breast milk too.
