The Nesting Has Begun!

Oh, how nature has its timing. I told my mom this weekend that, for an organized person, nesting urges seemed to be escaping me. However, after returning from my baby shower with loads of goodies, I suddenly felt like a timer had gone off. Today, I spent the day washing baby clothes, organizing drawers and closets, running errands, making lists, and cleaning. Perhaps it was the need to find space for all of the baby items, but it also feels like we've rounded the corner. Five (give or take two!) weeks seems like hardly much time anymore.

Even for having registered "lightly", I can not believe how much "stuff" is involved with preparing for a baby. Joe was eager to get things organized himself, and I came home to the highchair already set up in our kitchen! We won't be needing that for several months, but I must admit that I also love seeing it there. We'll move it to the basement when we're ready. For now, it serves almost as a place holder. Next to the two island stools where Joe and I eat and talk, there is now a seat for our third family member...

On that note, I welcome any suggestions for names for this family member. Ideas for names that go with "Adiletta". The "A" and the "i" are soft.
