Preparing

Well, I am coming up on my last month of pregnancy! Thankfully it has gone by extremely fast! After my doctor's appointment on Thursday, I will be going every week... at that point you know it's getting close. I have been thinking about what needs to be done before the baby comes...
I need to prepare the spare bedroom for when my mom comes; Get baby items out like... onesies (neutrals for now), blankets, burp cloths, the cradle, the infant tub, bottles and all of my nursing gear; We still need to purchase a bulk pack of newborn diapers, and a small night stand to go next to the brand new Rocker/Recliner that Eli bought me!! Yea! Thanks E!

I have been anxious to get a chair for a while because the last few weeks of pregnancy are somewhat rough. For me, it's usually the heartburn at nights (luckily I haven't struggled with that yet!)... I did wish I had a recliner to sleep in when I was pregnant with Indi... the heartburn was almost unbearable!

Anyway, the one other thing on my "to-do" list is getting a hospital bag ready! I decided to make it fun and have two onesies ready to take home a girl or a boy. I designed and made these yesterday and had a lot of fun!

I have been so proud at how strong both Eli and I have been at not finding out the gender... I wasn't sure if we could do it! We still have around 36 days left and I would hope by this point we wouldn't have any desire to "give in"!!

I'm sure it doesn't feel like it for you, but it seems like its gone by quite quickly! Do you guys have names? Or are they a secret? I'm totally excited for you, and would love love love to see a picture!

Not finding out what you are having definitely adds a little extra excitement for everyone! I can't wait to here what your little one is! Are you feeling like it might be a boy or girl more? I am wondering what names you guys are thinking of too!!! I hope these next few weeks go smoothy for you and that your delivery is a great experience!

Wow, it is getting sooo close! You will probably go earlier than 36 days right? I can't wait to see what you have! I'm guessing boys. Did you already post the names? Did I miss them?

Wow! I can't believe it's almost time for baby #2 to come into this world! Maybe by the time you have your second one I will be able to meet both of your children at one time.:) As you know I will be living in Blanding for a few months so hopefully we will be able to see eachother. The onsies are really cute! I can't wait to find out what it is and what you're going to name him/her.
