7 days out

Sunday.We picked up the ketubah. It's magnificent - more beautiful than I'd hoped to imagine. Nav was just about speechless. The artist put a picture up on her web site, but I'm not going to link to it just yet - after the wedding

I am dying to see this ketubah! I'm so glad it met, nay exceeded, your expectations.

Commiserated about the slowly ratcheting tension

Do you feel slowly ratcheting tension? Is there tension beyong the never ending to-do list? I tell ya, having a baby is much easier.

are you saying

that having a baby is easier than planning a wedding? Really? Do you mean in general or just the birth part? Or am I just not picking up on sarcasm?

Yep. I'm not being sarcastic. I guess it's tempting to compare them because they both take a long time and culminate in a big life changeing event.

I don't mean the birth. The birth is harder than anything to do with the wedding. I mean more up to the birth vs. up to the wedding. For the wedding, you have to potentially take more classes, contract with more people, plan more things. And at the birth, it's easier to keep the relatives at bay.

Eh. It's all just planning a big party. Yeah, lots of minutia, but I'm not so sure that planning for post-baby isn't harder. What do we need? What do we need to know?

I know our friend A is worried about dealing with parents around the birth. That's why she has enlisted friends as bouncers.
