Excellent news! My belongings arrived in Antwerp on the 23rd, and the shipping company has scheduled delivery for next Wednesday, March 3rd, at 8:30 AM!!! It looks like baby won't be sleeping in a laundry basket after all, which is a good thing seeing as we don't own a laundry basket. Things could still get flummoxed up by customs, so keep your fingers crossed! We still have a lot to do to get ready for the baby, but it will be a bit easier having some baby things around!
We have both been extra excited about the baby since we saw the ultrasound on Tuesday. She's so big and so adorable and she looks like she wants to be cuddled! :) I have been daydreaming about little fingers and little toes and raspberries blown onto bellies. And to make me laugh, G suddenly burst into a hopping dance yesterday while singing, "We're having a baby, We're having a baby!" LOL A couple days ago I was sitting at the table with my head in my hands, making my cheeks puffier than usual, and G said, "When you sit like that, Luna looks just like you!"
Sunday is G's birthday, and I am sad to report I have not managed to get him a present. Its a bit hard with my immobility, and the only stores I ever visit he is with me. He says me being here is present enough, but I so wish I could think of something. :( I can't even bake him a cake because our oven is so screwed up.
In other news, I am desperately craving spicy food. Tex-Mex in particular. A great big taco salad from Pedro O'Hara's, a pile of tortilla chips, warm from the oven and dipped in Sisters Salsa, a big messy chicken taco. Siiiigh. I have not seen any tortillas here, and I saw one jar of a rather pathetic looking salsa. Yes, I can cook, but the ingredients seem to be a bit scarce. G says there are Mexican restaurants in the bigger cities, so I guess I'll just have to wait until I can travel to some bigger cities. Wow, I feel like such a bitch for complaining about the food right now, because G is out on his bicycle going to the grocery store and it has just started POURING rain. :(
Sorry you can't get G anything for his b-day but it sounds like he will be happy because you are there. Tell Luna not to decide to be daddy's b-day present! I hope the package I sent will get there soon. I also hope your stuff gets delivered on Wed. Love to all Mom(Gramma)
