Un-Nesting

I am currently participating in the un-nesting phase... also known as anti-nesting. For your information, anti-nesting results in things like this:

And this:

I am not thinking of getting over it soon. Speaking of which, I am also behind on the preparation department. Grand total of items purchased for upcoming July child: ZERO.

No diapers.

No binkys.

No clothes.

This is not to say the child will be naked. (E would be very concerned if that were the case).

You see, usually when I find out whether I'm having a boy or a girl I go to the store and purchase "the first outfit." But with this baby I received a very cute outfit in the mail from my sister before I had a chance to do that. Then I received three boxes of clothes (two from Em, one from Kelli). We also received other gifts from interested parties obsessed with the idea of a Wood boy. Needless to say, this boy will be dressed in style.

Which comes to another point: I think in my house my children will be glad if they are the ones getting hand-me downs. M gets both E's old clothes, and her cousin Annie's. And Annie has cute clothes! I'm always telling Libbi that when I come to visit I'm excited when Annie has a cute new outfit. And as for this boy... let's just say Em has good taste too. It's poor E that's stuck with the $5 shirts from WalMart.

But back to the point (if there was a point)... I suppose I should gear up and get out of the anti-nesting phase. You know, clean the house, cook a meal, buy some diapers.

But apparently I decided to write this post instead.

Oh well.
