Today was a fun filled day of prep for the arrival of this little one. I have continued to lots of tightening and feel like I might not make it as long as I did with the other two, so today I checked a few things off the list. After running support group this morning and having a yummy lunch with the kids, I headed to Amanda and got my nails done. She has been doing my nails for months now, she does a gel type polish with stamping. Today's nails say "love" and "dream big" with feathers and dream catchers, they are beautiful and perfect for this time in pregnancy. Sheridan watched the kids for me and then we all came home to work on editing her maternity photos. Craig picked up dinner on his way home, such a blessing! It was his second to last day!! We can't believe he is almost done! He has been working so hard for the past 2.5 years and he is down to ONE MORE DAY and boy are we excited! After a yummy dinner Sheridan and I did a belly cast for me. It is something I have wanted to do since I was pregnant with Cooper and I an so glad I finally did it! I had intended to keep it as an early labor project, but I keep having the feeling that labor might go somewhat fast and I didn't want to miss out on my chance to capture this amazing belly. So we just went for it! It is beautiful! Still drying as I type. Next step, trying to figure out what I do with it. Right now I am thinking I might paint it, but probably not until I have had a chance to take a couple newborn photos of the baby in it. :)
Tomorrow Craig and I are going to take a little time together and head to Glen Ivy for the morning. I am so excited to spend some time with him, it feels like we have not truly had time together for 2.5 years. There are still many things on the list of things to do before baby...we will see how many actually get done.
In no particular order, this list includes...
-art work for labor space
-Craig finishing his last day
-teaching childbirth class
-baby-moon to Palm Springs
-Henna on my belly
-sterilize scissors for birth
-get car seat out of box and into car
-buy a car that will fit 3 car seats, minivan here we come!
-outdoor family maternity photos
-wash baby clothes and blankets
-buy new sheets for the bed
-pack hospital bag (to have by the door in case we have to transfer for some reason)
-figure out labor clothes for the birth pool and early postpartum
-buy a new diaper bag
-pick out a baby carrier for Kylie to use
-plan Kylie's birthday
-get maternity leave stuff figured out
Now that I have written this list down I am feeling a little anxious! I need to get on it and start checking things off the list ASAP!
Wish me luck!
More to come tomorrow,
Nat
