It’s officially official. I am having a baby and yes, it’s my first!

So as you can imagine, it has me thinking about organizing in a whole new way. My friends make fun of me because I have already painted the baby’s room (I am at the end of my first trimester). I let them laugh. I agree, I am way ahead of the game. But all I can think about is my friend Jennifer who had her baby almost 2.5 months premature. She called on me in a panic because her baby room was no where near done. There were clothes to fold, and put away, gifts to unpack and store, furniture needed to be put together and the room needed to be painted. I got to see first hand how having a premature baby can be overwhelming in more ways than one. I vowed then that I would not wait to get things in order when I find out I am pregnant. So far, I am sticking to it.

So I thought it would be interesting to log my organizational progress during my pregnancy. Hopefully it will help others in their preparations for baby number 1.
