Things have been trucking along in the world of “Getting Ready for Baby”. My latest Doctors appointment was perfect, with me still only at 1 pound gained from the beginning! We will be getting 3-D ultrasounds on the weekend of Skeletor, at which time we will be able to see whose nose he has, and to confirm without a doubt that it is indeed a boy. Of course we will put pics on the site to show everyone, I have never been good at keeping a secret.
He’s reminding me all the time that he’s here. The last day or two I think he’s had insomnia, because he has been SO active. I am now calling it BellyVision [Trademark Pending]. It’s so funny to watch, and I’m just fascinated.
Greg & I received a couple of packages from his Mom Monday night, full of baby clothes. I just have to say wow! There were tons of adorable, tiny, great clothes (the shoes and socks almost made me cry), that is going to save us loads of money & grief. I love them, but at the same time, it’s making it more & more real. I’m really pregnant and having a baby! (the DUH! Heard around the world).
We are also getting from Greg’s Dad & Del our stroller and car seat combo. The fold down is idiot-proof and car seat will have 2 bases for easy switching between cars, and a 5 point harness to keep baby safe. A huge load off our minds, these items.
Finally, Greg is being Super Handyman, redoing the electrical and (hopefully) plumbing in the basement so that we can move our spare room and rename the first the “Baby’s Room” aka “Skeletor’s Lair”. We have picked out colors, and when we (Greg) start painting, I will post pictures for all to see.
The nesting instinct in Preggy people is a funny thing. You become obsessed and soon realize that all you and your partner talk about is baby stuff. Boring to some, but all consuming to us, so enjoy!
