I haven't put any profile pics up throughout this pregnancy, but I figured what the heck. So here i am, one (ish) week left.
There are a few things I'm going to miss about this big belly. As weird as that is...
-The conversations it starts with complete strangers
-The way it rests on the bathroom sink when I'm getting ready
-The spilled crumbs that it saves as I eat treats
-The way it moves and dances around as I tickle it
-The front-of-the-line treatment it gets me at stores
-The magic eight ball it's been for us as we ask it questions
I've tried to enjoy this belly while there is a baby in it, because as soon as she's out, I know I'm going to be hating the belly!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ready or not, here she comes
I feel like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any time. The weirdest part about that is not knowing when the "tick tick boom" will come.
We finally finished moving to our new place and we are really enjoying it. I really like sugarhouse, everything you ever need is conveniently located down the street or around the corner. Now that we are moved in, and somewhat organized, we have started working on baby stuff. Yes we're in a time crunch, but oh well, we'll take her whenever she comes!
The first thing we did was run out and buy a car seat. We figured if she came early, we needed at least that to get her home:)
Carseat - Check
This week our crib was delivered. Daddy did a great job at setting it up. Thank you hunny. I am very happy with the black.
Crib - Check
As for our dresser, the wrong one was delivered, so we are working with the shipping company to find out who they delivered ours to, and whose armoire we have. Apparently the shipping labels got mixed up and ours is somewhere in California. So who knows when we'll get that. As for now her clothes are everywhere. But think about it, at least she has clothes, darling clothes at that.
Dresser - No check
We just got the swing, bassinet/play yard, and stroller set up. yay!
Swing - Check
Bassinet - Check
Stroller - Check
This week we finished our birthing class. I really am so happy we took that class. There were so many things I learned. Shane was a good sport and learned a lot too!
Birthing Class - Check
I still need to pack a hospital bag, and finish the birth plan though.
Bags packed - No check
Birth plan - Almost check
It is so nice to have two bedrooms. Now we can have a nursery. Nursery decor is far from happening. But it will happen, just probably not before our sweetie gets here. She does have beautiful bedding though.
Decor - No check
Bedding - Check
We are deciding between three names. It is a lot harder than I thought. Because we are so close to the birth, and because the magic eight ball won't tell us what she wants her name to be, we are going to wait till we see her, then we'll make the final decision.
Lil' girl's name - No check
So as you can see I have a lot to do. I'm not sure if I'll post again before she comes, because who knows when that will happen. Hopefully I get around to posting pics of her not too long after she is born. Wish me luck :)
JEN! YOU LOOK GREAT! Wow, I think my tummy is as big as yours already. I know that is the last thing you want to hear "you look great" because either that means someone is straight up lying or they are lying! But, you have proven this theory wrong! I love the crib and bedding, SO CUTE! Your new place looks beautiful too! I can't wait to hear how everything goes I will be thinking of you each day this week. I can't wait to hear what you name here either! Can't wait Can't wait!! love you!
ReplyDeleteJena, you finally look pregnant! :) Maybe like only 6 months along but definitely pregnant! So cute! I love the crib and all that great stuff you guys have.
