It’s only 99 days until baby girl is due, which isn’t too much when you think that she started out with 280 days to go. In the next 99 days, we need to:

-Name her.
-Start and finish the nursery.
-buy a carseat. (I got rid of Connor and Logan’s infant seat for two reasons: first, it was all jammed with sand from the beach and the base was stuck to the carrier, and it could be unstuck with great force, but it sure was a pain. And second, it’s recommended that carseats only be used for 5 years since plastic can weaken over time. There’s my safety announcement for the day. We’re all about safety in this family. Derek is even on the safely patrol at work. Okay, maybe it’s not called the safety patrol, but I like to imagine that there are a bunch of science nerds running around wearing bright orange safety sashes handing out safety violations. Just like when Derek is working on a project, I like I to picture him laying on his stomach surrounded by markers, rubber cement, and printed pie charts, painstakingly gluing and lettering and creating a science project on one of those tri-fold poster boards.) I digress…
-find the perfect baby girl coming home outfit.
-buy all the necessary new mom and baby stuff.
-Enjoy all of her kicks and rolls.
