Then I talked to our travel coordinator, and she reassured us that being sent to Nairobi could be a very, very good thing. As in, we could be, maybe, be prepared but don't get your hopes up travelling in 2.5 weeks. Nairobi has been performing some quick clearances lately, and if they keep it up, we could be cleared sooner than we hoped. Woo to the Hoo.
On the down side, come March, we will literally not know if we're going to Africa the next week or not. Which is kind of...stressful?! How exactly am I going to sleep through the night and not check my email for the Best Email of My Life?
I suppose I should just knock "sleep soundly" off my To-Do list for the next six months. Done.
There are signs of Caedmon's coming arrival all over our house - a carseat cover in the washing machine, bottles in the cabinet, and full-blown nursery nesting. It is wonderful.
Last night I had a very long nightmare which consisted of me attempting to make a bottle with formula for a crying baby. In my dream, I tried about eight times. The counter was covered with water and formula, and in the end I just couldn't do it. I think I am feeling my parenting inadequacies. But I'm pretty sure I can make a bottle.

No worries. I remember Melissa being so tired in the middle of the night that she poured formula powder into a cup with no plastic liner, so it just all fell through the tube onto the floor. HAHAHA! Lower your standards! That's my motto for wanna-be perfectionistic parents. But she is doing an amazing job with our kiddos.
