Are you ever READY?

One would think that having child number two would be a piece of cake. I know...I know that all pregnancies are different, and this one definitely has been, but I mean the preparedness.

We didn't even start thinking about his room until after the holidays. Some would say..."that's not really a big deal," but those that really know me understand what a planning freak I am. Mike can attest to that...I'm already mapping out a landscaping project for next year. :-)

With the help of many, the boy will actually have some clothes. Having a child of a different gender threw me off my game. For the love of pete...we have one whole storage section full of clothes from Sidnee.

Finally, I have no idea what to do with those private personal parts. I HAD A GIRL FIRST...I AM A WOMAN...I know what to do with that. Boy stuff actually freaks me out a bit. Caring for him after a circumcision has me cringing already. Mike just looks at me like I'm crazy when I ask which way the "thing" should be pointed when changing a diaper.

You'll be happy to hear that I am coming at all of this with an open mind. Thank goodness we have plenty of friends and family with boys. We'll be looking forward in seeing your comments and advice.

All for now.
