So here I am.... So much going on. Life feels like it's speeding past me but at the same time standing still. Can't believe I'm already 26wks along in the pregnancy of my third child. Is this really real? I know we planned this baby but sometimes I'm still in shook that we are actually having another baby. We are letting this baby be a surprise. But since we already have 2 boys I'm just planning for another boy. Still I should really get one or two girl newborn sleepers for just in case. Along with 2 caps. One pink, and one blue. The reason for a girl outfit would be for baby's picture of course! We are planning a homebirth, but I still want to try to take that newborn picture like they do when you are at the hospital. To put up on the wall andpass out to family. Keith, my husband will have to go to the photo place to print up all the sizes. I should probably think about how many and what sizes I want in advance. Goodness knows I won't be able to think when the baby is actually here and husbands can't figure something out like that on their own. Or maybe he could but the control freak in me wouldn't allow it! So a homebirth, I'm trying to get in the right mind set so I can face labor without fear of pain. I ordered hypnobabies to help with that. Can't wait till it comes in the mail!! I need to go buy a birthing ball so I can start doing some of the tricks to insure baby will be in the optimal position for birth and to help loosen my pelvis. I could really use a few long sleeve maternity tops. My old one are too big or something.
Then there's the things I would like to buy for the baby. I would like to get something like a hotsling(http://www.hotslings.com/) they actually sell them at the Target near me. I also want a Moby wrap(http://www.mobywrap.com/). And then when the baby is a couple months old I have heard the Ergo baby carrier(http://www.ergobabycarrier.com/) is really great. Umm is that too many baby carriers, LOL! Oh course we will probably need a new dresser for baby. I would love another one just like we have for our 2nd son. Will have to then get it at Shopko. We'll need to buy baby socks(cat sole most of the olds ones, she loves baby socks). And then maybe onesies but we'll see about that when I start pulling things out. Of course to do that I'll need to do some major decluttering in my the kids room. Anyone want to help me? It's really crazy in there. I need to save up some money for cloth diapers and settle on a few to try. I have to stay away from wool, lanolin and polyester(including in the thread) due to allergic reactions that runs in my family. That may get tricky. Here's to hoping people give us cash as a present when baby comes so I can up my diaper stash. This child will be my first to cloth diaper. I think it would be neat to try. I'll get some disposable newborn diapers though because I don't want to be going up and down the steps to wash them in the early days, have to give my body a little time to recover! I want bed rails for the bed, added safety(we co-sleep). I need a new glider rocker. DH buys me one for each baby because he always buys me crappy ones that break before the next baby comes along. Third baby means third chair. Personally I really think he is the reason they break. He is just plain hard on furniture. I need some new nursing bras and breast pads.
I'm nervous about money so I need to try to budget better. It always works out, I just need to believe. It's tricky with money right now because I would love to buy some things for the school room(we homeschool). What I wouldn't do for bookshelves! I need organization and I just don't have it in there. Then there is new clothes needed. Kids keep growing!!! Luckily my mom helped by buying a bunch of clothes for my oldest and a few new shirts for my soon to be middle child. And then there is the dog. She could use a couple things, plus her nails clipped(they are way too long).
I want to write more about what's up with my older 2 boys but I have to run. I'll try to get to journaling about them soon!
