Waiting



Well, things seem to be ready here for the reason for this post to arrive. We've spent the last few weeks trying to get the new house as ready as possible for the new arrival. Prospective Granny Chris and Ed came to help us put up curtain rails, and to give Cristina a surprise party for her Birthday.





The next weekend prospective Grandad David and Anne came to help us paint the new nursery a brilliant shade of yellow and lived to tell the tale. Now the most experienced prospective grandparents Rafael and Conchita have arrived from Knoxville to help us in the last few days. We've had two really nice evenings eating and chatting and waiting for something to happen. As you can see from this video (thanks to our new present!) my attention is somewhat drawn elsewhere. Won't be long before someone else joins us to fill the final bedroom.


I feel totally overwhelmed and excited about the whole idea of having a new person to share our lives. If I'm honest, despite my best efforts, nothing else really seems important this week. At the same time I also feel unbelievably ill prepared. Cristina seems to think that the baby is moving downwards, so I guess we'll know which it is soon enough........
