The thing about marrying another engineer is that there’s no one around to limit the baby-nesting-crazy. Not one partner to be all, “you know we have like 4 months, right? What’s the rush, let’s watch a movie.” Nope. Keep in mind, we already have a perfectly nice nursery ready to go. But, as Dave pointed out, “you know, the weekends are going to start getting away from us.” My entirely logical response: THEN I GUESS I’LL SPEND THE NEXT 2 HOURS RESEARCHING THE UNICORN OF HAMPERS.
So, what I’m saying is that maybe one of you should come over, knock us both over the head with a paint can, and force us to go on a hike.
Have a great sunny weekend, everyone!
