Count Down . . .


Friday marked the 8 week countdown! Time is now flying more quickly than we could have imagined. We started our pre-natal course last Wednesday. There are ten couples. One of them expecting a few days before us and everyone else a few weeks after us (4 of the couples due on the same day - October 14 - weird, eh?) Friday also marked the last full week of work for Katie. She will now use up some of her holiday time and only work Mon-Thur until the baby arrives. She's very excited about a 4 day work-week....something some of us just take for granted for many years!

Katie is doing well - tired phase, but cute as ever ; ) The house and baby room are coming together - getting some of the odds and ends so that we feel more prepared. The baby name list is down to the short-list too - final decisions when he or she is actually born. Although Katie has started to have baby specific dreams and they have all been boys...


Scott is back to school next week too. He took a few weeks off to have a bit of a summer holiday, but break is now done, so he can try and get a couple of classes in before Christmas break - we can only imagine how quickly that will come too!

I highly recommend the 4 day work-week (3 is even better says Janette who is sitting right beside me as we review our plans for another "lake" day tomorrow). Sigh .... Tough job but someone has to do it. Enjoy the four days (and the 3 day weekends) just think soon you'll have 7 day weekends or 7 day workweeks, depending on the temperment of your child. Remember... babies aren't "good babies" they are just "easy babies" if they are "difficult" ... they are just "normal".
