I am a part of a really neat forum and within this forum there is a section for conception/pregnancy etc.. The mamas on there started talking about baby gear and it dawned on me. I HAVE NOTHING! I don't have enough clothes, I have only a few cloth diapers. Thats it. I dont have a swing, obviously need more clothes and diapers. If its a boy I have no car seat. WTF am I going to do???
I dont have a huge desire to run out and buy a bunch of stuff. Me? I dont want to shop? I have to be more money conscious this time around because we need to get another vehicle, a bigger vehicle and I cant be doing that if im blowing it on everything cute in sight.
I know what swing I want, I just have to find it since I refuse to pay full price for it so I have been stalking craigslist with no luck. I plan on using Jamisons old car seat for the baby but we need to get her a new one and I probably wont do that until tax time. Plus if this baby ends up being a boy then I need to get a new seat cover. I might go out today and hit up Gymboree's sale they are having to see if I can find some summer clothes for a steal. Its really weird buying summer clothes when its 30 degrees with snow on the ground.
I have been feeling a ton of movement <3. yesterday I was having quite a few braxton hicks and I happened to be laying down on my back and i could see the baby moving around, just the slightest movements. if I remember correctly, when I was pregnant with Jamison I didnt experience this until closer to 20-21 weeks. im not complaining though. I have had a ton of anxiety this time around so this just helps ease my mind.
We have picked out a name. Still struggling on the middle name. Well we have those too, I just have to make sure I am totally loving the one for a boy.
Boy- Phoenix Star
Girl- Phoenix Ivory
I picture "star" as being on the girly side. but we'll see. I had a different idea for a girls first name, but I have fallen in love with Phoenix so I cant see myself changing it like I seem to always do.
I told myself that I was going to stop taking belly pics every week and just try to go every 4 weeks so you can obviously see a difference but now I am regretting not taking my 18 wk one on Tuesday. granted its only Thursday but it will throw everything off. I loved how I did it every week for Jamison.
thats enough babbling for now....
