Decisions, Decisions!

I know this is an "off-cycle" post, but I had to comment on my general indecisiveness recently!  From simple things like what to eat for dinner to complicated things like baby registries, I have been flip-flopping like crazy.  And that's only compounded by the "pregnancy brain" (forgetfulness) that I've been experiencing.  My brother and my husband claim that doesn't exist, but I am not generally forgetful by nature and this is far outside my comfort zone.

I guess it's a good thing that some of the baby room decisions were already made for me:  keeping the color consistent with the rest of the house was Craig's suggestion (Navajo White can be matched with anything!), the bulk of the furniture is my brother's old stuff from my mother's house (thanks, Mom!), and the layout of the furniture can only really go one way based on the dimensions of the room.  But then there are things like what color canvas bins to use in the cubby organizers (that we already had) for the baby's closet.  Not knowing the baby's sex helped a little, since I wasn't about to go with outright traditionally gender-oriented colors like pink or blue.  But boy (or girl), the decision between green or yellow or orange was tough!  I know, you're laughing at me now!  I'm laughing too, but only because I made the decision to go with green last night.

I'm also nervous about things more than usual.  I'm not anxious by nature, though maybe a little worrisome.  I'm hoping the floor refinishers do a nice job (because frankly, that's an expensive endeavor!), and I'm hoping that our household will be in order enough to support three of us come October (space, finances, time management, etc).  I'm hoping I will be able to breastfeed, because I've heard many stories about unsuccessful attempts, and I'm hoping cloth diapering will be as easy as our close friends say it is (because I really am not looking forward to using a sprayer attached to the toilet to rinse them off).  I'm hoping the registry items are reasonable and that I haven't forgotten anything obvious (and that's after several new mom friends & family have reviewed it and made suggestions).

And what are the cats going to do when they're not "#1" in the household as they believe they are?  What a rude awakening they're in for!

Overall, I know that God would not have given us this tiny miracle if we couldn't handle it.  He'll help us through this and He always provides.  I just have to put all of my faith in Him and not worry.  In just over 5 months, our little munchkin will be here and there's no turning back!
