I am nesting. Not cleaning, no no no; I am obsessively sorting through baby clothes. Nevermind that I’m not even 20 weeks yet and I am sure that people will give me hordes of pink girly clothes, I have this need to sort through what I have right now<\/i>. As soon as we found out this was a girl I took all the truly BOY clothes back down to the basement, stored away for next time – I kept out all the neutrals, and even some blue boy clothes that I love too much to not let her wear at least once. Today I proudly spread out what I have and realized… it’s not very much. Umm. How was I going to clothe a newborn baby with this? Obviously I had planned to go shopping to fill in the gaps before Devin came – something I never ended up doing.<\/p>\n
I am also realizing why I was so happy to be having a boy when I was pregnant with Devin: most of the girl clothes scare<\/i> me. I do not do bows or frilly butts or poofy dresses. I do not do “princess” or themes. I do happen to like the color pink, which I think is the one saving grace here. I just have very specific tastes.<\/p>\n
I am buying a couple of pink diaper covers and then I am all set with those. I still need to buy a couple of bottles and a manual breastpump (though I don’t intend to start pumping until a little later, it’s always good to have it on hand, just in case). I never did get around to buying a baby bathtub, we need one of those. I’ll buy a couple more sheets for the crib and cosleeper. The rest… well, the rest is all just gravy, now isn’t it. If we get a bouncer, swing, toys, books, photo frames… all to the good, but they’re not really necessary. Which leaves me kind of adrift, really. What do I do with my time if I have no shopping to do? I think I hear my bank account sighing in relief.<\/p>\n

It is damn cold, especially in our basement which hasn’t had the fireplace installed yet. Alas, that is where the xbox lives, so I suffer through it with the little spaceheater we keep between our feet when playing and our old comforter thrown on top of me. (We’re very dedicated gamers, you know. Teeth chattering, fingers cramping, haven’t eaten for hours, but I have to finish this dungeon!!<\/i>) It makes me wish I was smart enough to buy more hot chocolate when I went shopping, since apparently I am now able to drink it without throwing it all up. The wind is literally howling outside, shaking the windows and blowing the snow across our yard. I have absolutely NO desire to leave the house at all.<\/p>\n
Baby girl has taken my laziness as a green light to throw a party in there. She’s been very active all weekend, even kicking last night after Den came to bed, when his hand was on my belly. Feels like she’s moved around and is facing up again, instead of down really low, connecting with my cervix quite frequently (ow, say!). I enjoy it while I can, as soon enough she will flip around again and I will have another few days of quiet, infrequent little bumps.<\/p>\n
Well I had better go check on my husband and makes sure he eats something. Maybe if I feed him enough he’ll feel guilty and let me play. ;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
