The bag is packed and ready to go. Almost. Just missing a few clothing items to get us through the delivery, but we’ll get those in there ASAP. There might be some things in there that you might not have seen in other bags, but when you combine Hypnobirthing practices and the experience of a prior 36-hour labor, you get a back that has granola bars, peanuts, crackers, construction paper (for covering the clock), a music player, toiletries, snack items for Ezra, and clothes for us. Chances are that we won’t touch a lot of it (unless we have another extended labor), but it’s good to have available.

Ah, and one random picture of Ezra from this morning.

Well, it’s all happening. The kid is growing up right before our eyes. Yesterday we went and bought a new bed and dresser for Ezra, and a new rocker chair for us (for the new baby). Today we assembled the bed and dresser…and disassembled the crib and old dresser and moved them to the new baby’s room. Things are taking a much different shape in both of those rooms as change is upon us.

It is a little emotional to think that Ezra has spent his last night in a crib, and equally exciting to think about what tonight will bring. Ezra is super excited about the new bed, and spent a long while this afternoon hanging out in the bed reading and introducing his stuffed animals to the new space. Fingers crossed about tonight – but I have a good feeling.
