T-Minus 30 Days

With less than a month to go till Baby B's due date, Mark and I are prepping to get "The Call".

Since we will have to stay in Arizona for at least 7 days after B is born, there is lots to do for life in a hotel room with a newborn. I try to be a planner, but procrastinator is more my style. So the fact that there is a to do list, and thing are being checked off is amazing (of course Mark was in charge of a bunch).

Plane tickets, rental car and hotel are reserved. 2 BIG boxes are being shipped to a friend in Phoenix this week, so we don't have to cart them through the airport in a rush. Of course coming back will be another adventure, not sure if we are flying or driving (all depends on B).

Baby clothes & blankets are washed, laid out and ready to be packed. A list of things to buy in AZ and a bunch of important paperwork is piled up and ready to grab. Our luggage is out and ready to throw clothes in (hopefully clean, but dirty if it has to be).
L&S are stressed thinking about of me leaving from work (at least 8 weeks w/out me). Mark is planning his schedule around the trip. Owen's babysitter is in the works (volunteers anyone?), house-sitter is done (thanks Grandpa).

I know we are forgetting something, but oh well... We are T-Minus 30 days from becoming parents!!!

XOXO - Mark & Kay
