Tonight I went to Babies R Us with my pregnant sister-in-law, who is due at the end of May. We had a great time.<\/p>\n
First of all, I am getting SO excited for these babies. They’re having a little girl, and tonight I found out the name they’ve chosen! I won’t post it here, since it’s not my news to share in such a public space, but I’m just so excited to know a name. We’re already planning to spend frequent time together after the babies arrive (she’s moving to part-time after the baby comes), so Devin and his cousin will be close.<\/p>\n
Not to mention I’m really appreciating having a neice to buy things for. :D I love a lot of boy stuff on the market, but sometimes girl stuff is SO much fun to buy, lol. It’s great to have one of each in the family! And plus with a boy and a girl cousin this means at Christmas and birthdays family won’t feel obligated to get them the same stuff, you know? I think it’ll be good. SIL and I were talking about Christmas and how fun (and hectic!) it’s going to be with two little ones running around! It’ll be SO much fun I cannot wait. :)<\/p>\n
SIL was totally evil today and got me to zap a few things to add to my registry. (I had no intention of doing so, we were going for HER registry!) A couple of small things… and a swing. I’m not 100% sold on that particular swing… it’s the Boppy travel swing. Only $60, compact, looks cute. But I’m just so unsure. A part of me really wants the Baby Papasan swing. Sigh. I just cannot make up my mind on the stupid swing.<\/p>\n
I also took down some carseats to pick them up and carry them around. Ummm yeah. The SafeSeat I registered for, vs the SnugRide? I like the SnugRide better. The SafeSeat IS quite heavy. Shit. I’ve emailed Kel asking if she’ll peek at my registry and switch it if no one’s bought it yet. (I’m not peeking. I’m not peeking. I’m not peeking……)<\/p>\n
Otherwise we just wandered the store and SIL scanned things that she still needed to add to her list. Her shower isn’t until April 29 – date chosen so that it’s far enough past my due date that I’ll be able to attend! Devin might be coming too. ;) It really depends when he arrives (and thus how comfortable I am with him being around so many people). If he doesn’t come, though, he’ll have to stay with daddy, and that soon after birth I am not comfortable pumping and leaving a bottle, soooo… daddy might be coming to babysit nearby so they can pop over for a feeding. Well I’ll have to figure that out later. I definitely want to be there.<\/p>\n
I’m getting SO excited for my shower! I’m just… beyond excited. A day to celebrate Devin’s imminent arrival with friends and family. And yes, I’m excited to see what kind of stuff he gets! I’m really itching to buy everything we need, which I can’t do until after my shower. It is really HARD for me to sit here and do nothing for the weeks leading up to my shower… no fiddling with my registry (minus the couple of favors I ask of Kel… *shuffles feet* ), no buying stuff. Apparently I need a freakin’ hobby. I just want to nest SO bad. I want to set things up, I want to organize stuff, I want to check things off my list and make sure I have EVERYTHING in order.<\/p>\n
A busy day for me – I ate horribly because between a chiro appointment, work, and then going out I just didn’t have much time to stop and prepare a meal. We ate at Ruby Tuesday for dinner, which was surprizingly good. They even had chopped hard-boiled eggs at the salad bar, for on top of your salad. Yay for protein!!<\/p>\n
Good day, good day. My feet hurt by the end of the day, and I of course ate far too much for dinner (I was starving)… but I feel just very happy. I really think I have the best SIL ever. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
