Last-minute preparations & waiting

March 12, 2007 | Filed Under Kuei, Family 

So we are pretty much just waiting, getting things all ready here for when the baby decides to come. The ward put on a nice baby shower for both Kuei and Nicole a few weeks back (as they are both expecting around the same time) and that has helped a lot, as far as preparations go. Our ward is great by the way.

We wanted to paint a wall or two in the room a cool apple green color or something like that, but that will have to wait till much, much later. Things have just happened so quickly and it is hard to believe that by the next time I post something, it will likely be the announcement of our new baby. Kuei and I are still a bit awestruck over how smooth the pregnancy has been. Still, it is very much new for us, even though we’ve been through this once before.

I’m reminded of that verse in Proverbs that talks about not knowing what a day can bring…very true.

We have the crib ready and all that. Kuei has a “go to the hospital NOW!” bag. It includes a CD with a mix of some of her favorite relaxation music…stuff with Mozart and a few tracks from some of her yoga CDs (ocean waves and stuff like that).

She has the digital camera in there too, but I will probably have to bring along my MacBook to download the photos, as our memory card isn’t large enough (and it’s a bit late in the game to shop online for a cheap 1-2GB card in time).

Met with the doctor the other day and everything is a go. Kuei’s already at 40 weeks. Tonight she had some more contractions but they’re irregular. We are just waiting, but feel that we won’t be waiting too much longer…
