i'm pleased to report that today was a very productive day. i've made significant progress in the bedroom, kitchen and den. tomorrow i'll tackle the living room and bathroom, then sweep all the floors. THEN we'll be ready for baby. at least on the homefront. today's midwife appointment revealed that he still hasn't dropped and i'm not showing any key signs of labour coming on soon. so it'll be later this week at the soonest, but more likely next early next week. i'm actually the next client expected to give birth. the next one's due date isn't until the 22nd.

i have no doubt that my ability to accomplish so much today was greatly connected to the fact that we now have an air conditioner.

recently i got a little worried about the possibility of the cats going in the crib while so-and-so is sleeping – or more specifically, when i'm sleeping. i tried coming up with a few ways of dealing with this, since i have caught honey in there a few times (albeit not recently, she's currently obsessed with sleeping on the change table). in discussion this with bren, she recommended a mosquito net, and as it turns out, brendan had one from his time in dominican. so i got that hung today. he's going to be like a little safari baby. i'm very pleased. it's a simple solution, and will be effective at keeping those kitties out!

we'll be together with a roof right over our heads.
