Pregnancy Update

I am slowing getting ready for this baby. There are still a lot of things that I need to do, but I have finally accomplished some of them and it's making me feel much better. Lately we have been so busy just with day to day school, chores, cooking and activities that it's hard to fit in anything extra. After tots cooking on Wednesday, the kids and I went to a nearby kids resale shop. We found a boppy cover (my boppy from mareea had a bright pink cover) for $3.99 and an adorable papasan bouncy seat. I had one with Mareea, but sold it. I had been dreading spending $20 for a boppy cover at babies r us and was thrilled to find one for such a good deal.
Last night I went through all the baby clothes I have been gifted so generously by Sue and organized them. I'm pretty sure we have everything we need to get us through 0-3 months. I may need a couple more warm sleepers but will be able to find those easily!
I had my 32 week appointment on thursday. The nurse put us in the big ultrasound room since the doctor was running about an hour behind and there were so many of us. When he finally came in, he just decided to do a quick ultrasound instead of trying to find a doppler. I was so excited! I am so happy to know that Gideon is head down. Now when he moves, I can tell if it's his feet or bum since I saw where they were. I will not tell how much I weight right now. It's apparently more than I weighed when I delivered Mareea...and I still have 8 weeks to go!

To do before baby:
Make soakers for size small diapers
Finish coming home quilt
Buy a papasan swing (maybe?)
Buy a bumbo
Get a new infant carseat or a replacement for our pink cover
wash baby clothes and put them in the drawers
set up bassinet
set up changing table
Lesson plan for other kids for at least 3 weeks
Make lots of freezer meals
Address birth announcements

I'm sure there's more...

You are so on the ball doing things ahead of time! I have a papasan swing and a bumbo you can borrow while you are here. We don't need them now! I haven't even used the swing...bought it from a family member after Jacob was too big for it!
