Into the Closet

Planning a home birth means many things, but the one thing that has been consuming my thoughts most recently is this:

People will be in our house, and they will be looking in our closets!

On one hand, this feels like a totally ridiculous thing to obsess over. On the other hand, I don't want to look like a total disorganized slob while I'm having a baby. So a couple nights ago, I cleared out the bottom half of our hall closet and filled it with home birth equipment.

Birth Kit Closet

It's part nesting, part real preparation. Just looking at all those absorbent underpads and folded baby blankets makes me feel more ready.

You are inspiring. Last night we started buying some items off our list and I felt so funny walking through target with our seemingly hodgepodge set of items..hose, jumbo pads, large bowls, shower curtain liners...just so crazy, but it makes me feel so good to have some things in place. I really do admire your organization!
