GREAT EXPECTATIONS

The car seats were prepped in the front room with care… 🎄

Big bro go bags have been pre-packed. I’ve nested about all I can nest – home and biz-wise.

Prepped diaper, nursing, and postpartum healing stations.

Hung tiny clothes in her closet.

Created a *Naptime Empires Survival Guide* for your reading-and-listening pleasure (available at naptimeempires.com/guide). 💌

Prepped a brilliant batch o’ pandemic podconvos and sent to my editor.

All that’s left for me in these final days (likely weeks!) of great expectations:

rest, snuggle, aaand get as far as I can on the next revision of the #naptimeempires manuscript, which I’ve been resisting for a while 🙃😁

Honestly, I think she knows. And she’s calling my bluff.

“Nah, mom… I’m good here! Do your thing. Book draft take three. Let’s go! We’ve got time…”

We’ll know if my creative castor oil theory is correct if I “spontaneously” go into labor shortly after finishing this manuscript update. 🧐✨📚

IN THE MEANTIME: I’m sharing the full scoop on the final countdown via the podcast today. Ins and outs of how this final season of pregopreneurship has gone, what worked well, what didn’t, what’s coming up next for podcast, etc.
