Another task taken care of

Posted By: Karen B. 0 Comments

I finally got the guest bedroom situated the way that I want it, and the final steps are to get the box of old girl baby clothes and my filing box downstairs, vacuum the floor, and buy a blanket for the bed (it has sheets).

I've been really irritated that I can't do too much. If I do a lot of activity I start having contractions. I'm not willing to give birth before Feb 27th at the earliest. My dad will be here by then to help take care of Ingrid.
