Just about everything is ready for Isabella's arrival. We've painted Isabella and Lex's room a soft yellow or off-white and we painted the closet and trim a color called nature's green. We aslo rearranged the room and added a crib, changing table and several other things to make the room look really nice. We put together the new stroller that Liz was given at her baby shower at work and put the new carseat stand that goes with the stroller in the truck: the vehicle that Liz will be using.
Over the past several weeks we've made additional changes to both the inside and outside of the house. Liz painted our bathroom a bright light green. We raked up the leaves in the backyard (although more have fallen since) and we put in a true compost pile in the back right corner with wire fencing that Liz attached to some metal stakes. I also planted a red oak in the front yard to replace the maple tree we had cut down and I planted a photinia bush to close up the gap between our yard and the park next door.
From the time Liz enters her 37th week of pregnancy this Thursday the mid-wife will be able to deliver Isabella. While we'd prefer that she come in a few weeks anytime after this Thursday will keep us pretty much within our plans.
As a result of the changes we've made to the house and the yard and the fast approaching possibility of Isabella's birth I am very excited. I don't know what it will mean to have a daughter or to have a baby girl in our lives but I feel very blessed and I am looking forward to the change with anticipation.
