Katie is here for a quick visit, helping me get through the last days of this tough pregnancy. The nesting instinct has manifested in an almost visceral need to redo my living room, but my lack of mobility means most changes have been relegated to my brain or, at best, mood boards on the computer. Katie’s arrival (and superhuman strength) has heralded an absolute frenzy of arranging and rearranging my living room; not one single rug remains where it began, no piece of furniture or art has gone untweaked.  Late last night I sent her a text (she’s staying at my house, but I didn’t want to disturb her…too much) about wanting to try a different rug in the kitchen. I am consumed by decorating madness.

My inability to walk much means that shopping has also been relegated to the virtual world, but having Katie by my side gave me the guts to saddle up Target’s motorized shopping cart and hit the aisles for a few essentials.

We’re taking Wednesday off to savor each other’s company – and I’m hoping that bouts of uncontrollable laughter will help this baby come soon – but we hope you have an excellent week and we’ll be back with a post next Monday!
