For the first time in my life, I think, I've actually been doing some spring cleaning. I'm blaming it on nesting. Laura and I went through our cache of junk in the basement, and got rid of a sizable portion, and organized the rest.

I also put together our new crib, graciously provided by Grammy Ricki. The instructions were a little obtuse, but everything turned out to be fairly simple, especially once I started using the drill to tighten all the bolts. That was definitely not something I'd want to do with the little tiny Allen wrench that they provided.

At this point we're basically ready for the baby to come. Sure, there'll always be more we can do, but if I had to take Laura to the hospital today (knock-on-wood), we wouldn't be hopelessly unprepared. Less than a month to go!
