- a box of baby clothes - some new, some used, all unlaundered - in closet
- half-painted room
- dust
bunniesbears in corners - enormous wasted space at top of closet
- diapers and wipes in boxes under crib, none stocked in gingham lined wicker baskets
allnone of the kid laundry washed (own no Dreft)

Hi Lady E - in about three days, I would be a month early, and I'm starting to have those panics about going into labor...hence my frantic drive accomplish the (seeminlgy endless) tasks before me. I have a feeling, though, that my perfectionist tendencies will be the very first casualty of motherhood...and, candidly, I'm looking forward to it! :)
That is my experience, yes. I still struggle with the perfectionistic tendencies, though.
Ah, my insistence on finding all puzzle pieces each evening so that they could be put not the apporopriate puzzle frame didn't actually disappear until my second child came along. Now they're all just in a plastic bag. And game pieces..hah! But that might be more OCD than perfectionist.
Ah yes, all my children were born to different degrees of disarray. I just wanted to prepare them for what they had to look forward to. :)
