    Busy Weekend

    Posted by Heatherdawn on Sunday, February 07, 2010 @ 11:30 AM  

    We are under about 2 feet of wet, heavy snow and they're predicting another 3 to 9 inches Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning. Jeff has spent a great deal of time shoveling a path down to the trees for the dog to pee/poop and creating a path to drive at least one of the cars out to the adjoining "shared" driveway that the neighbors have nicely cleared about 2/3 of with a snow blower.

    We have been busy pulling things out from storage to see what we have to buy for baby, and I've been washing all cloth items and cleaning all metal/plastic portions of things like the swing, the bassinet, the car seat, the stroller, and the bouncy chair. I thought having a clean car seat was a higher priority, so next on the list will be washing the baby toys we kept.

    Thankfully, we either kept, or I was able to get second-hand again, all the big ticket items except for a breast pump (I'm not sure they sell those second-hand and, even if they did, I'm not sure I'd want to use a used one). I'm pulling out the gender-neutral clothing, but I don't have much from Kadie - thankfully, I was able to get a bundle of used items for a fairly good price that will probably take us up through the first 3 to 6 months without having to add much. While I'm on maternity leave, I plan to go through the bins of clothing and will try to sell as much as possible on Craig's list (my way of contributing to the bill paying during those months, if you will).

    I have a three-page paper to write (due tomorrow) on Imperialism in the US...not a huge fan of the idea, but it shouldn't take me more than a couple of hours if I can get quiet ones. I have three more weeks of this class, another 5-week class, and my "final project" class (also 5 weeks long) left and I'll be completely done with my degree. If I work through the rest of the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum, I'll be done by 10 May. I haven't decided if that's what I'm going to do though. If I make it through the rest of this class without going into labor, I just may postpone the next class until a few weeks after the birth.
