We still have lots to do, but the critical path is complete - we have a place for him to sleep, a place to change him, diapers, a car seat, and some clothing to put him in. The rest will come together at some point, I'm confident. Here are some pictures of the nursery in its present state - clearly not done, but the bones are there and the rest of the stuff can easily be moved.

| View from the door, looking right. Changing table and closet. |

| The pile of baby laundry to be done is on the left. It's smaller than I thought it would be, but I suppose his clothes are awfully small too! |

| Crib, shelves and glider. Very much a work in progress. |
I do still have moments of uncertainty about delivering this baby, and then being a mom the rest of my life, but R pointed out last night something that I hadn't thought of - this could be the only time I experience pregnancy. Thinking about it this way is helping me approach the process differently.
I will tell you one thing I am ready for - being done with work! As of today, I have approximately 7 working days left for the immediate future, possibly for a long, long time. That is a countdown I can get behind!
Oh, and there is one critical path item still remaining - a name!
