Top 10 Things to Do While Waiting for Baby...

In case you wonder what I'm doing these days (hmmm, maybe there could be a better use of some of my time, or is this expected?)

10. Eat Ice Cream (okay, this is more for Mark than for me...but I did just have some Tillamook PB and Chocolate)
9. Make very soft baby blankets for friends (and one to send to baby too!)
8. Read distracting magazines like People
7. Pray: for our baby, his/her friends, the nannies, our friends who are traveling to pick up their babies, and sanity and patience for us :)
6. Have people over for dinner (especially loved having baby Micah over this week!)
5. Visit my brother and his fiance in California--swim and soak up the sun
4. Look for a new house with a tad more space (we may have news on this soon)
3. Walk to the new neighborhood French Bakery with my sis and baby Isaac and eat croissants and sip on lattes...yum (this is sure to be a regular outing even after baby comes home)
2. Fake-shop for baby stuff online (put stuff in the cart, but then never buy)
1. CONSTANTLY check the forum for updates on referrals

Any other ideas--another week is ahead ?!

hey, Sarah, here is an idea for you: bet you and Mark could write a series of Baby Books --- maybe fill-in-the-blanks, so they could be printed off for other couples' babies, but personalized for your situation - of being so near to their hearts but far away....
If you get really engrossed in something, you will surely be contacted right in the middle of it and have to jump on a plane!

I love #3. I had a blast and can't wait to make this a regular outing with both of our babies!
