Forgive me if I've been slow to respond to comments/emails or peer into the f-list, and please don't take it personally. I'm not intentionally ignoring anyone. Lately my head's been spinning because I suddenly realized just how much there is to get done before the baby's born -- both in preparation for her arrival and also all of the other random little tasks that will just be much easier to complete before she's here and sucking up all our time, energy, and sleep. :) She isn't due till Feb. 22nd, but I'll admit there's some anxiety creeping in as I look at our gargantuan to-do list. The weeks and months do seem to be whizzing by far too quickly. Not to mention Thanksgiving's coming up, and we're having it at our place -- complete with at least 11 guests.
Hell, I didn't even watch last week's Bones till last night, right before the current ep aired; that rarely happens.
So I've been coming here to vomit bits of fic, picspams, or random questions and then run away again. My brain is just flitting from one thing to another, never really settling in one place for very long. Welcome to parenthood, I guess. *g*
You nailed it, hon! There's never going to be enough time... just do what you can and be happy!
*hugs*
Oh, and just so you know, we're happy with whatever you choose to vomit our way! *g*

miss u hon!
and yet at some point you WILL reach the point where there's no preparation needed to be done and you're just walking around waiting on your little girl. Trust me I've been there for the past week and 3 days (yeah not that i'm counting or anything ;))
You are totally correct that she will steal your time, energy and sleep.. in the best possible way of course, but nonetheless ;)
Don't worry, sweetie.. we appreciate any time you give us (and I am going to reply to the review you left me yesterday which has made me smile ever since later too *g*)
Even if she has to sleep in a drawer for the first few weeks, she'll be loved and adored and fed and cared for and that is worth so much more than having the perfect this or that, or this or that perfectly done.
And I'll read anything you put up here.
Be good to yourself.
Also, I'd read any random 5 sentences from you over just about anything else any day (wow, lots of anys in a row there; sorry about that).
Basically, deep breaths, smile, and take care of yourself and her :)
Here's what's the key: How are YOU? How ya doin' and how ya feelin'?
[passes some herbal tea and ginger cookies.]
Hope everything's going well! *hugs*
