Rock-a-bye Baby

First of all, I was just out running errands, when all of the sudden I saw a red river coming at me down the road! There were some construction workers up ahead, and they must have hit a water main or something, because this was gushing down the road. It couldn't be contained by the gutters. And I don't know if they were working next to a dirt pile or what, but it was all very red. It kind of felt like I was witnessing Moses turn the Nile red.

But the big news from the weekend is: we have a rocking chair! Clark assembled it for us, and we rearranged Wombsly's room. So now things are in place. I really like how the chair brings out the green in the bedding. It makes things feel less like a pink explosion. We really do have a lot of green things, I've noticed.

I went to the store today to get some of the final baby things we need. Unbelievable that she will be here in 6 weeks (maybe less)! But I think I can confidently say we are ready now. Well, I still have to pack a hospital bag. And we need to actually install the car seat. But after we do that, we are set. Except for that whole "knowing how to take care of a baby" thing. But I guess that comes with experience.

As a side note, Clark and I were talking about lullabies the other day. I realized that I don't know too many actual "lullabies" per se. But I think I've got enough songs in my head to keep Wombsly entertained. Anybody have any good songs they've used, or would use if they had kids?
