DD Plus 3

Every beetle is a gazelle in the eyes of its mother. – Moorish proverb

No baby news (maybe I could abbreviate that... Here's our new TLA-- three letter acronym-- NBN). I felt more energy today. I wonder if it's that prelabor energy boost they talk about the day before labor? It does feel like somehow something's different in my belly. And Mini Miller is having a ball in my belly. Hmmm...

I thought I'd post some pics of our baby "nest." As we've mentioned before, we're house sitting for some colleagues who are in Papua New Guinae until mid December, so we haven't set up a nursery. I did decorate the wall where our basinette (borrowed from a friend) is sitting in our bedroom. I love these little Ikea clips and strings... they were great for displaying wedding cards. Now baby cards and baby pictures of Mark and I adorn! We put the baby's dresser in the nice roomy carpeted master bathroom. The motif was already fish and tropical fauna, so we found some Nemo stickers for the mirror. Dory, the short term memory loss afflicted fish, always makes me smile. She reminds me so much of someone I know!

Oh I like the cards on the wire, it's a nice (and mobile!) touch to your temporary space.

I am bummed that Little M hasn't made an appearance. Still praying and waiting with breathless anticipation!

After that long walk, I was surprised to see other posts! My little small group is praying for your birth and family... :)

It's funny that I wrote "your birth." However, after what I saw on the OB floor, I always pray more for the mothers - who, for example, actually remember watching the circumcisions. :) The kids are blissfully ignorant. Even so, we won't forget to pray for Baby Miller. Just take pictures and video!
