Getting EMG-Zine ready to post, prepping a coloring book sale (yay!), nudging people to get their Mushroom-themed things in for EMG-Zine by the end of tomorrow, and realizing I need to catch up on Sketch Fest sales, too. Sorry for the delays, if you're waiting on anything from me... I have been more scattered than usual (this baby brain thing is no myth!), busier than usual, and have about half the energy to allot between things.

We got the floor finished yesterday, finished all the wiring in the room, and are ready to install doors and trim. The room is really going to be lovely - I'm so happy with everything.

Really... I'm happy. I am full of stress and get winded walking up two flights of stairs, and there are 100 millionty things left to do, and the Internet is rife with drama right now (some of it close to home), and the weather is gloomy and everything is expensive and money doesn't stretch as far as it used to... but at the end of the day (and in the middle of the day, and at the beginning of the day), I'm pretty darn happy and content with my life.

I'm okay with that. I wish I could bottle it and share it with you.

It's partly hormone induced, this happiness. But ya know what? It's a darn good feeling!! :) You should make a list of the things you need for the baby that you guys can't or won't be able to make for yourselves! Maybe have a online baby shower? hit up some stores like Baby's R Us or something, and make up a wishlist folks can buy from. :)

I would suggest getting a small freezer (if you don't have enough room in your normal freezer) to store extra milk in (if you are doing the breast feeding thing) to keep up supply when baby's demand cuts back (baby's go through cycles of feeding a lot to feeding less). It worked very well for me and I didn't have to stress over "not having enough". ;)

If these are hormones, I'll take them. :P I've been expecting mood swings, but they've mostly been positive.

Yes! A wishlist is on my... er... list of things to do. :)

We've got a medium-sized bench freezer - there should be room for some milk storage in it. I hadn't thought of that at all! So many weird things to get used to!
