It's a WRAP
Big day today! I finally picked out and ordered my first-ever woven wrap. Charlie said I could get one as a pregnancy present. It's crazy how expensive some of these wraps can get $350-$500 are some of the pricier ones (that are omg gorge!!!), and I'm even feeling a bit "ahhhh!!!" about the one I picked out, but I know the resale values are pretty good if it doesn't work out. I can't wait to get it, and all the awesome reviews saying it's a great starter wrap are making me feel pretty good about buying one. My mom is super skeptical about wraps saying they look dangerous and too boho, but that's why you practice, join babywearing groups and do it over the couch until you get the hang of it. I want to get the babe into babywearing (cuddles! hands-free!) right away, so hopefully the wrap arrives before baby does. http://www.birdiesroom.com/didymos-indio-aurora-org-cotton/
My mom and I did some baby bonding over the weekend. We returned a bunch of stuff to Babies R Us, bought a crib mattress, and checked out the AMP diaper store to look into cloth diapering. My mom's supportive and into it, and my final questions were answered so I'm ready to take on pocket/AIO diapering to save some money, plus the prints/colours are just oh so cute! I'm trying to look at the upside of the diaper changing part of being a mom, lol.
I've still got crazy sore inner thighs. Sigh. My Thursday night class workout instructor emailed me over the weekend saying she had some info for me for next week's class, but I had to tell her the sad news that I've given up my workouts. Damnit, I'm so tempted to just throw in a prenatal DVD but I worry it will make things worse. I am in crazy nesting mode and know I probably pushed it a little too far today doing a huge vacuum/floor washing binge, but it was bugging me so much! It was spring outside and I want to spring clean for this baby damnit. I emptied out the freezer, did tons of laundry etc. and now I feel sore for doing that. Charlie's stepped up thank god and did all the grocery shopping, made dinner, cleaned up the kitchen/put away dishes, washed the kitchen floor...I think he's more aware that pregnancy's hitting my tiny little frame hard after my meltdown this week.
Three weeks of work left, and then two weeks after that until baby is due. My cousin worked up to the day before her due date (which was this Friday)....I have no idea how she did that. I partially admire her for doing that and also think she's psycho at the same time, or perhaps she's just not struggling as much as I am now (or maybe I'm just a wuss!!!)
I start up acupuncture again and have my last prenatal appointment with my family doctor before I go see my OB next week. I'm so much closer to meeting my baby and entering the journey of motherhood...I am so excited overall, if a little scared at the same time. :)
