Wow, time flies! 22 weeks!
My belly is definitely getting bigger!
On the other hand I still feel good, so aside from sleeping a lot, I don't have anything to complain about. So far so good!
We have officially started preparing for the arrival of our kid now!!! (I really wish I could say son or daughter instead of kid or child or whatever else gender neutral word I come up with at the time...) We now have a play pen, a crib, a change table and also got a lot of clothing and other small items. Thanks Cassie and Kyle!!!:) We are so lucky with the timing...
I guess seeing the baby stuff in the house makes us realize how close my due date really is. January 7 or 8 is just a couple of months away!!! Our next big purchase has to be a stroller, complete with a baby seat, so we can actually legally leave the hospital when the time comes. We were considering picking it up yesterday, but then of course Murphy had a problem with that... so we blew one of our tires on the car. It's been way overdue to replace all 4 anyways, I guess, but we're just so excited about getting baby stuff that it's hard to keep our shopping priorities straight!
We have window shopped at IKEA the other day and now we have a bunch of stuff picked out there, too... Most things are not relevant until the kid will be like 2-3-4 years old, though. Little chairs and dressers and bunk beds... Exciting nontheless!!!:)
I also saw the lights I want for the kid's room, they are like big bright green beetles (cute, not gross or scary!) but they were all out of them... I figured we'd put up a couple of them on the walls, they only cost like $7-8 each... It's going to look so cool!!!!:)
So much happened this last week, I will probably end up just listing things...
- Doug's brother, Chris was here visiting for a couple of days
- We have visited Doug's parents in Edson
- Craig's birthday BBQ - which turned out awesome! (The BBQ chicken was soooo good...)
Doug playing with Ryker - Cassie and Kyle's son - It's so cute, I just had to add it:)
And of course work at the rental office and volunteering at Red Claw Gaming... Busy busy!
Usual monthly doctor's appointment tonight, I will write more after if there will be anything interesting to write about.
22 weeks. Time really does fly.
ReplyDeleteI love those lights at IKEA. I just love IKEA. We furnished pretty much our entire house from IKEA. You can't beat their prices and the stuff looks soooooo good. And it's easy to coordinate. Because I'm stylistically challeneged :).
Don't buy too much stuff -- that's what baby showers are for!! We literally bought...well, nothing. Oh, we bought as sling so I could wear her when she was small and we bought a breast pump. We were given pretty much everything else at the baby showers!!! :) Just something to keep in mind -- why spend money when there are people out there who will be soooo excited to buy stuff for you and the baby?!
Have you registered yet? You gotta register! We registered at babies r us.
Anyways, glad to hear you're feeling good. That's a really cute pic of Doug with the baby :).
