We’ve officially moved from “back to school” to “a baby is coming!” mode around here. Yesterday involved doing some baby-related shopping, a bit of nursery organizing and trying (again) to decide on a name. Today we installed the car seat bases into the cars. We should still have several weeks to go, but we’re well aware that babies tend to arrive whenever they feel like it, so we’re trying to be ready. I’ve also been filling in my editorial calendar with guest posts to cover my maternity leave – it’s not too late to sign up! Meanwhile, amidst all the baby-related chaos, I’m trying to keep life as normal as possible and enjoy the next month of non-parenthood as much as possible.
