Babyproofing = mess

This babyproofing thing, isn't it just about moving piles from room to room??? It looks like we've been living in a mess for weeks now, with all the preparation and the domino effect of turning a guest room into a baby room, a work station into a guest room, a shelf in the entrance walk-in into a wine cellar (wine racks and babies = disaster...) and a corner of the living room into a play space. There's always something left to put somewhere!!! Oh, the joys of living in a 1100 square feet condo... But somehow, I have a feeling that if we had a bigger house, we would just have more stuff, and the puzzle would be similar, only bigger. Or maybe not...

Anyhow, I guess it's a good "mess training" for when our baby will actually be here!

So, sharp corners have been removed from the living room, the dining room carpet is gone, anything breakable has been relocated at least 3 feet above the floor, and power outlet plugs are on the way. I'm also pretty much done with Yummy's suitcase, and even packed the Cheerios today. S is taking care of all the paperwork, so all we have left to do really is filling up our own suitcase and we're good to go! We have our pre-travel meeting tomorrow night, when we will meet the rest of our group and get the last details and instructions. And sign a big check for the hotels, the in-country flights, the guide, the transportation, etc...
