I am LOVING being pregnant, but my baby girl has decided she likes to move ALL night. She's not even born yet and she's waking me up in the middle of the night already. I feel so unprepared right now though. I know I'm ready to be a momma, but I don't really have anything for her. I have some clothes, one box of Swaddler diapers, a stroller, a carseat, and a few blankets. I have no bottles, no binkies, no where near enough clothes for her. My dad as yet to fit the antique German cradle I slept in as a baby. I guess I always thought I would have a lot of the stuff I need by this point in my pregnancy. My baby showers aren't until March and I don't want to have this feeling until then. I barely have enough space for her. I'm having to take things out of my room to fit her cradle. I hate not having a room just for her, but I live with my parents and I only have the one room for not only me, but also her daddy and her. I'm just in this mood to get stuff ready for her.
The past 28 weeks have flown by and I just have this gut feeling that the next 12 are gonna fly by faster. I feel like I'm going crazy. My moods are everywhere and I never know what's gonna happen next. I have a feeling Daddy is growing tired of my mood swings. It's just hard to control them when I have so much going on in my life. I feel totally unprepared for April, but I want April to be here already.
I know so many people who are pregnant right now, one of my close friends had her baby girl in November. I held her little girl the day she was born (on my little sister's birthday) and I didn't want to wait any longer for my own daughter. Everyone is so sweet to me when it comes to my Bug. Another friend of mine (who's a mommy to a little boy) put a package in the mail with baby stuff in it. I can't wait to get it. I love getting baby stuff. The other day Daddy's Grandma sent a package with 3 knitted blankets, 2 overly adorable outfits, a bib/burp rag combo, and some wash clothes. My mom bought Bug's Homecoming Outfit, but one of the outfits Grandma sent is so freaking cute. I'm tempted for that to be Bug's Homecoming Outfit. I think I'll pack both and depending on her size with decide which one she wears home. The one my mom bought is a premie and the one Grandma sent is newborn.
Daddy and I have been washing baby clothes like crazy here lately. We got a lot of clothes from his sister, but not enough 0-3 months ones. I'm hoping to get some at my baby showers. I can't wait for them. I'm having two. One here for my friends and one on the other side of the state for family. I still need to go and register at Wal*Mart for Bug. I need to get that done ASAP. The baby showers are a day apart in March.
So much to do, that I need to get done ASAP.
