Not Much to Report so..........

My apologies for my tardiness this evening keeping you apprised of Mikaila’s progress. I have spent the preponderance of the day refinishing the floor in her nursery. Perhaps I should explore the impact of her early arrival a bit as I have very little to report otherwise. Mikaila arrived on March 24th, roughly 12 ½ weeks premature. So, essentially, we lost 12 ½ weeks of preparation; preparation related to the house, Kim’s professional future, the stuff Mikaila will require and our competency as parents. Kelly and co didn’t even have time to plan and host a shower for Kim. There is a chance, although slight, that Mikaila will be in attendance at her own baby shower some time this month or next. So, as you might imagine we have been thrown into scramble mode. I’m not complaining at all; I’m simply enlightening you by giving you a glimpse of our current reality. The nursery is looking great by the way. We put up crown molding in her room. I don’t have crown in my bedroom! I gutted that room, taking it down to the lath. When Mikaila enters her room for the first time she will be greeted by kangaroos and koala bears. An Australian theme was selected among hundreds of options. She will see small replicas of creatures indigenous to the region adorning her shelves, furniture and walls. I’m sure she will love them unless of course they freak her out.
