Alrighty folks, this is going to be a much better entry.
baby shower was Sunday. I got my playpen, a stroller,clothes,tons of wipes, wipes warmer,the play mat,bottles,monitor,food etc etc etc etc.......
I went shopping Tuesday at Toys R Us for all the things I didn't get and my total came to $300. I bought the Infant stroller/car seat, bottles, boppy cover,sleeping incliner,the ocean wonders crib toy,bottle drying rack,sheets,etc etc etc.
My cousin ordered me the ocean wonders bouncer and ive already paid her for ordering it online for me.
the things i got that i didnt want from the shower are mostly all returned. I keep my promises. :)
Im using my mothers changing table.
So all in all, whats left to buy is the crib and the crib mattress.
I want this certain crib from Wal mart but it hasnt come in yet and its making me mad, the baby depot manager said it could take 4-6 weeks, well i dont have that long, so im going to go up to babies r us with his godmother/my cousin, and see if there are any cribs i want. Its completely unbelievable how I didnt have like anything for him, and now i have absolutely everything i need, not counting the crib of course, but i have the bassinet and the play pen which is also a bassinet and babies can stay in bassinets for up to 2 months. Ill probably get a crib in the next few weeks anyway.
The best part about all of this is that im working enough right now that everything thats been bought ive paid for myself. As of right now i only owe my mother $25. So basically ive worked my butt off and afforded a $300 toys r us bill,50 bouncer,and i have most of the money for the crib saved up around $200, so i can go and buy one whenever. Ive also managed to save up enough money to put a nice amount in my bank account and also save money for the bills ill still need to obviously pay while im on maternity leave for 2 months.(Cell, and car insurance) So basically im in a pretty good situation, and i am finally not stressed about not having this or that.Mostly everything is now coming together nicely, the room is the last thing to conquer, which will be all set as of tomarrow.
As im typing this all his baby clothes are in the dryer. And theyll be all clean for him:)
Tomarrow im cleaning out my entireeeeeeeee room and my fathers going to take out the bureau's, and we'll probably have an empty spot for the crib, and bring the changing table down from the attic and such.
I am insanely greateful to Pam,a girl i work with, she gave me the bassinet that attaches to my bed, clothes, and tonnnnnnnnns of diapers.
All the girls at my work are asking what they can get for me and such, and thats awesome because it saves me the money of buying the little things that add up to mucho $$. They told me to bring in a list of things that i still need. Right now I don't NEED anything, everything thats left for me to buy is just little luxury items like a bottle warmer, teethers,stroller rain cover etc.That i could do without,but if people wanna buy me things then why not.
Had a doctors appointment today and everything is awesome, ive only gained 5 pounds total, because i lost 10 to begin with, so it techinically should be 15 pounds gained but my pre pregnancy weight was 182/3 and im 187 now. Im going to have nooooo problem losing a whole 5-10 pounds. And yes my weight gain is right on target for being 8 1/2 months. 2 nights ago he has the hiccups, so hilarious!!! :)
I love how I've only bought 2 pairs of maternity jeans, one black pair for pondo waitressing,so i obviously use them and then one pair of jeans i hardly use because they feel more tight then my regular jeans, no one can believe that im 8 1/2 months and i can still fit in my regular jeans! go me,no one believes im 8 1/2 months, they say i look like im 5 months or so because my bellys so small, and it is, but im measuring 34 inches for 34 weeks so im right on target.
k, im done with my randomness, time to get his clothes out.
Hooray for everything being all done and ready for him.. one more month!
