Threat Level: Midnight

Okay people. If you hadn't already heard, the official baby alert level has been raised from HIGH (high risk of baby being born) to SEVERE (a baby will be here ANY DAY NOW!). We are 10 days away from December 6th, well within the window of birthitude. You may be asking yourself, "But what can I do to prepare myself for this baby?" Here are some tips:
  • Make sure you have no leftover baby gifts lying around the house -- infant diapers will do this baby no good if you find them shoved in the back of a closet a year later. If you feel the urge to buy Mandy more baby gifts, be sure to check with her first because this baby already has more tiny, matching outfits than any normal person should have.
  • Establish a baby preparedness kit: Spit-proof outfit (preferably something like a rain slicker, rain boots, etc.), camera, funny faces, high-pitched baby talkin' voice...maybe some snacks for when you get hungry.
  • Carry your cell phone with you at all times for up-to-the-minute birth and baby updates!
  • If your name is Mandy, take lots of naps! Practice your breathing techniques! Make me run errands for you and take out the trash! Sit and look beautiful while I paint your portrait!
All Americans should remain vigilant and report any suspicious baby-related activity to...someone important, immediately.

Found some of the old fashioned gowns ...... no strings in the bottom. Just a nice, ribbed cuff. I'll bring 'em. A couple of footed sleepers, too.
Love. : )
