Slow progress, but progress just the same

Preparing for a kid is hard work, but sometimes, finding the motivation to do the work is just as much of a challenge.

Somewhere between enjoying the idea of pregnancy and welcoming a child into the world, I start to feel this little panic swelling up inside. There's TOO much to do and not enough time to get it all done. The due date is three months away, but we've already filled half of those weekends with other obligations. When are we going to find the time to get everything done?

Deep breath.

This weekend, Brittney and I made some good progress. We settled on a nursery theme and picked out some art for the walls (an important first step before paint, fabrics, etc.). We started clearing out the office, which will become the nursery, and sorted everything into piles (Goodwill, storage, garbage).

There's still a lot to be done, and we're one weekend closer to the big day, but today I can celebrate that slow progress is progress just the same.
