Less than Two Months to Go

As of today, we are just 8 weeks away from Sara's due date. Only 20% of a pregnancy left. Not a lot of time, even though there is better than a 50/50 shot the baby comes late.
Someone asked me today if I was getting nervous. Somehow the question caught me off-guard, but no I'm not nervous, I'm still very excited. To do what I always do and compare something to my experience in athletics, I feel exactly like I used to before a really big race, but one in which my preparation was excellent. I'd start feeling excited and get that sensation in my chest but I'd be welling with confidence at the same time.
So you could say that I am ready, at least unconsciously. Literally, though, I am not ready. Today after work I'm stopping at Lowe's and buying the wood to build the baby dresser/shelf/changing table. Since I'm being nice to my neighbors and restricting myself to sawing on a weekend afternoon, and since I need to apply a couple coats of paint, I don't expect to be finished with it for two or three weeks. That leaves us with more than enough time, but of course Sara is unhappy that it wasn't done last month.
Another thing I have noticed about myself in the last couple weeks is that I've been more naturally industrious. I've been very easily disciplined and systematically getting things done, both at work and home. This wasn't a purposeful change, it just happened.

I can't speak for Sara exactly, but I think our name brainstorming has mostly come to an end. We have two or three names that I would be happy with, and one specifically that I seem to be settling on. I still want to be open to others, and I want to try to come up with some possibilities that aren't names in the traditional sense. Nothing blatantly absurd, but there doesn't need to be some fixed amount of sound and letter combinations that are accepted as "names." Names like Hazel or Willow or Brooke came from words that weren't just names, so why not new ones? Anything can be a name, because a name is the most arbitrary thing in the world.
