What the Funk?

You know, I was going gung-ho preparing for Grace until right after Christmas when this funk moved in. I reveled in buying things for her and had a list formulated in my mind of all the things that needed to be done and I was so excited to get it all done immediately. Now I can't seem to motivate myself to do anything. We have everything we need to complete her room, but I haven't even started it yet. There's lots of books that I need to read on bonding and attachment and general parenting. There are things left to purchase. We need to find a daycare provider and pediatrician. I know I need to get to this stuff, but for some reason, I just can't. I'm sure this funk must have something to do with the slow-down (I'm hoping and praying that the rumors are true that a month's worth of LID's will be matched in the next batch of referrals). Don't get me wrong, I am more excited about our daughter than words can possibly express. But because of the slow-down, I keep thinking that we have plenty of time, when in reality, we don't...not if I don't get moving!

On a cheerful note, my Aunt Faye called me last week to tell me that she would like to throw a baby shower for me! I was so excited. A baby shower...for ME! Just when I was beginning to think that no one was going to be thoughtful enough to do this for us, she suprised the heck out of me. This was definitely a pick-me-up.

Maybe I need to get myself back on track by buying some of these adorable ladybug things from Gymboree. A little retail therapy never hurts! (until the credit card bill comes)
