For the month of November we have a weekend long childbirth/ infant care class, a breast feeding class, A tour of the maternity ward, 2 doctor's appointments (eek, I start my two week appointments next month!), and maternity pictures. Not counting the 2 holidays we have in November. Then I have my baby shower the first weekend in December. That's alot. I still need to figure out a birth plan, find a daycare and get on the waiting list, and find a pediatrician. I also would need to finish her room after my shower and pack our hospital bags, I plan on doing all that in December. I'm sure there are other things I'm missing also but I will figure it out as I go along.
I still need to finish organizing and unpacking (5 more boxes to go!) our new house, I also want to decorate for the holidays.I don't think we are really gonna do gifts this year, cause all our funds are going to baby, and I don't really need anybody to get us anything else. Unless they want to get me a prenatal massage or a mani and pedi. I'm going to have to buckle down and finish our room in the next two weeks cause some of our pictures will be taken in there.
Oh yeah and did I mention that Hubby's family is coming over to see the house this weekend, I still have to figure out what we are wearing for the pictures, which poses I like, and what I am wearing for my shower? Yay me. lol. I am not complaining at all, this is the fun part of pregnancy. Its just a little overwhelming.
I need to start making my lists of things I need to do. I like checklists cause I feel a sense of accomplishment when I check stuff off or finish my list. I have an app on my phone called color notes that is great for this. I'm also going to make my lists here.
I am going to try to take a photo today. I've totally given up on my idea of doing a album of a photo a week, but I am going to do either a photo book or scrapbook of my maternity shoot and display it at my shower. That's why we are taking pics so early, I want people to be able to see them, not just have pics for us. I haven't decided yet which one I'm gonna do, photo books are really pretty but expensive, scrapbooks are nice, but they are more work and the presentation isn't as nice. I'm probably gonna go with the photo book, but we will see.
I'm going to make my checklist for the rest of this week and next week
I'm not going to put dates by things, cause I'm kinda paranoid about people knowing where I am and what I'm doing on any given date (probably why I don't update my status much on face book)
- Go grocery shopping for gathering
- Try to finish unpacking boxes
- Pick up clutter around the house
- host get together
- clean up after get together (lol)
- grocery shop for next week
- gym at least twice next week
- work on ideas for shower pictures
- continue to think about what we are going to wear for photos
- of course I have church and bible study included in there also
Oh yeah, I did finally finish my registry. I'm a little worried that people are going to think it's too many expensive items on there, but I was told not to register for small stuff or clothes, and that people would give those anyway. So the only thing left was the bigger items. I didn't want to register for things we didn't like just to have cheaper stuff on our registry. Then we would be stuck with a bunch of stuff we don't even like. I figure if a few people bought us the stuff on our registry, then great. We would just have to get the other things ourselves but at least I would have a list of the things that I need and want. I also finally picked out her bedding! It's light pink and lavender with butterflies on it. I love it so much. I want hubby to paint her walls a light grey, but I'm still working on that. lol. That will also be the theme and colors for my baby shower. And now that I decided on that, I can start working on her crystal mobile and the other things for her room. I'm going to get a wall decal with her name and butterflies for above her crib. My mom is buying her crib, so we still need to get a dresser for her room and get a glider. I will probably get this glider I saw in walmart. I love the pottery barn style gliders, but I do not want to spend $300-$800 on a chair. I will probably pick alot of stuff up during the after Christmas sales.
