Tonight is our last night as a family of four. We are very excited to welcome "Baby Brover" to our family tomorrow morning, but we are also a little taken aback that it is the end of an era.
Needless to say, we have been exceptionally busy today with preparations. On the eve of the girls' birth, I remember working until about 8:00pm and then readying the house for our departure. Finally I got around to packing bags for the hospital at 10:00pm. It would be tempting to think that I am fully prepared this time, and I actually have executed some things earlier this time. For example, I finally packed a bag for the hospital at about 5:30pm. This bag packing procrastination has been driving everyone crazy, but I legitimately couldn't pack previously because I needed some of those essentials on a daily basis (or so I argued to concerned individuals such as Skip and my mom). Funnily enough, though, once I packed today, I realized I probably could have done so sooner (shhh! don't tell them!). All of the household beds have been stripped, laundered, and re-made. Laundry is current. The neighborhood cats have been fed. The girls' clothing has been planned for the next week, and instructions about their schedules distributed to grandparents. Plus a zillion other tiny little things. We are all set.
We have enjoyed our cozy nest of four, but we are also very excited about the new era.
