Baby Connell weighs about 4 3/4 pounds and is probably almost 18 inches long, Mama Connell is slowly getting over her cold, and Papa Connell is looking forward to the new season of Rent a Goalie because the Esposito brothers will be at his work.
On Thursday I met Dr. Star who will be Junior’s doctor. I am head over heels in love with this woman. Her enthusiasm over our unborn child was infectious and she made it seem that she had been waiting for the Connell’s her whole life. Compared to my 2-minute visits with Dr. Pervy, this woman was a godsend. Dr. Star will visit Junior and I in the hospital and give the thumbs up for Junior to come home. I am so looking forward to her taking care of our baby I can’t even tell you.
This weekend is a big one at Casa Connell – we will be getting the nursery ready (I’ll be posting before and after pics next week). Owen and Dad will be painting and putting the furniture together while Judes and I visit the Price Club and purchase a year’s supply of diapers and wipes. You may not know this about me (this isn’t the lead up to a joke – some of you might actually be surprised) but I really, really, really like being organized. The day Owen brought home a filing cabinet was a banner day at our house. I filed and alphabetized 6 years of paper work and can at a moment’s notice, present you with out tax information from 2001. Need more proof of my organizational skills?
- Junior’s clothing is organized by size. Drawer 1 houses 0-3 months, Drawer 2 houses 3-6 months and Drawer 3 holds an assortment of clothing from 6 – 12 months. Anything bigger than that is hanging in the closet.
- I have a folder called “Junior” in which I’ve filed all pertinent paper work including: birth certificate information, passport applications, daycare information and any other paper work obtained throughout my pregnancy and that is of course filed in the filing cabinet.
- Junior’s diaper bag is packed and I have outfits and travelling wear that cover any type of weather the day might bring. Inside the diaper bag is a checklist for the diaper bag so when the time comes I’ll already know I have everything. Once I finish my own hospital bag a similar checklist will go in it to ensure I don’t show up without my granny panties.
- I have baskets of various sizes to help organize the nursery. Baskets for diapers, baskets for face cloths, baskets for….baskets.
Forget being organized. I have OCD and need help.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. Look out Supermommy!! I was NEVER that organized. Okay maybe for five seconds at the very beginning but once Ryan came home...all hell broke lose. Maybe you could come organize my life! I can't wait until the big day!
Love you

Baskets for your baskets? Sounds like someone else I know who bought Bins for her Bins at Kohl's in Troy Michigan at 2:30 in the morning. Can't wait for the big day...not just the day the baby is born, the day it messes up that filing cabinet!
Oh my sweet Jesus, I've turned into the Duhart.
ha ha I also have the drawers of clothes based on age.. maybe Teranet did this to us? Probably not! LR
I'm still laughing - you are Obsessive/Compulsive for sure! I'm not that organized at work and you don't want to see our home office! Bins, eh? Now that's a solution - yeah, we'll just stick them in bins - out of site, out of mind. Forget the two very large 4drawer filing cabinets I lugged home from Queen's! And don't dare ask me to produce an important doc.
