Slowing Down

So now I am starting to understand what all former pregnant women meant when the last few weeks are kinda brutal.  We are now at week 35 and so far I'm not in pain, BUT I can definitely say that I'm slowing down a lot more.  Yesterday, my mom and I went to Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, Carters, Osh Gosh B'Gosh, Bloomingdales and Macy*s.  I think my mom could have gone with more shopping but I had to blow the whistle at Macy*s.  We needed to exchange a few things and also buy a few things that we need. We got the Pack and Play to put in our bedroom to act as our bassinet for the first couple of months, and we also got a mattress for the crib.  Almost forgot about that!

And of course we HAD to look at clothes.  I wanted to get something cute for a coming home outfit.  I read online that you should get something that isn't too tight or that rubs against her belly button.  Some ideas were kimono type and easy and comfy clothes.  It's really difficult picking out something, especially since you never know if the baby will be too big for a newborn outfit.  But I took the chance I got something really adorable.  You will just have to wait and see until we take her first photo and if she is too big for the outfit, I will have a backup cute comfy onesie.

Nelson continued to work on the nursery with his friend Danny and there's some more progress.  I would say we would have a couple of more weekend's of work to get the room ready for the furniture.  The furniture is ready to be picked up and yesterday we went to take a look at it again.
Almost forgot what it looked like!  Luckily, when we pick up the furniture the only thing that needs to be assembled is the crib.  The other 2 pieces will be ready to go.

I had many plans to do a lot of other things today like: wash the baby linens for the crib, start to pack my hospital bag, take out and put together the baby swing, go for a jog/walk in the park, but honestly I was really just lagging.  I ended up: watching a dateline special, walked around the neighborhood, went to the grocery store with Nelson, and cooked some dinner.  Still that sounds productive, but my mind wanted to do much more. Oh well, the other stuff will get done and Nelson has definitely been running around doing a lot of the heavy work.  THANKS NELSON! Thank goodness for a short week! WOOOHOOO!
