There are 7 days to go until the due date of Little Dude. I have been off from work now for 4 weeks. The Christmas holidays were great (photo below right: Merry Christmas), and putzing around the house has been rewarding....everything is ready for 
Little Dude’s arrival. Just waiting now. Which is getting a little bit boring. You can’t really let’s say take a roadtrip, or go off on a weekend of skiing etc. There has been lots of movie watching, reading, knitting, a date night out.

We have cleaned out the freezer (photo left: watching eagles eat the freezer burned fish) and put in some pre-made frozen meals; we have decorated the nursery in a sea life theme (photo above: some canvases that I painted up to hang on the nursery wall), we have organized all of his clothes (how can there be so many for a little guy that hasn’t arrived yet?); we have read the 
books; we have the crib, the car seat, the stroller, the high chair; we got the cloth diapers and the changing station with what I call ‘bum condiments’ i.e. ointments and such; there is the baby washing stuff that is all ready to go to clean off his dirt (better than hosing him down); my bag is packed for the hospital; we have made a plaster of paris cast of my belly (photo right: the cast itself, could this become a chip bowl?); and Vanessa has taken photos of us and the round protruding Little Dude. Now we just wait. And wait. And wait.
