We put some final touches on Charlotte's room last weekend. I painted a tree on one wall where we're going to hang family baby photos, and Corey hung the Michigan State mobile for maximum MSU-indoctrination exposure. We also stocked up the dresser beneath the changing table with tons of diapers and wipes, because we heard a rumor that babies need frequent diaper changes. We had our neighbors, the Marshalls, over for some cake and ice cream last night to celebrate the start of the final countdown to Charlotte and to see how her room is shaping up.
We keep asking ourselves if we have everything ready. It's hard to know, since we've never done this before! What if Charlie doesn't fit into the newborn clothes we have ready for her. Yes, we do have some bigger outfits, but not that many. I spend way too much time going through her closet and pawing through the outfits, probably because I'm so sick of my own current limited wardrobe and am living vicariously through her. It's funny - she has tons of clothes already, but they could all probably fit in one or two washer loads at once. Yes, there is a lot of pink, but Corey has luckily overcome his aversion to the color. I reminded him that the color of her outfits is likely going to be the only clue most people have about her gender until she gets some hair!
