Gramma and Grampa G took Max yesterday morning and kept him overnight, giving Greta and I with a wonderful opportunity to relax, enjoy the nice weather, and scurry about the house madly trying to prepare for the new baby.
What did Gramma and Grampa G do with Max all this time? Here's a clue:
We had a wonderful day. Our house is clean. Our clothes, towels, and bed sheets are freshly laundered and dried in the hot March sun. We de-stuffified a bit. (Chippin' away at the mountain.) We even did some work in the yard, if you can believe it. We read books. We walked the dogs. Greta cooked. We slept in this morning. (I think I got upwards of 10 hours last night!) Amidst all this activity and accomplishment it still felt as though life were progressing at a slow, relaxed pace. It's amazing what a day or two of child-free time can do for one's outlook.
No sign of baby #2 yet, though Greta has been having mild contractions randomly throughout the past week. We're about as ready as we'll ever be right now.
