Still need a name! Steve should just give in and let me handle this one. Still need to buy a BIG box of newborn diapers. I never invested in cloth newborn diapers and my all-in-ones claim they start fitting at 8 lbs. In reality it's more like 10 lbs. so we will be using disposables for the first 2 months till this little guy gets his weight up. We went for a 3-D ultrasound and both thought the baby looked just like Pierce. I got all sad walking out thinking this could be our last ultrasound. I asked Hubs if he thought it was sad and he said No and said that was our last ultrasound forever. Boo! I go back and forth about a 4th all the time. It's not that I want a girl either. I could have 4 boys. It's that getting those tubes tied is so final. But then adding up how much money we have spent getting 1 child ready to go to school makes me think we should be done. Because eventually we will be shopping for supplies for 3! I cheaped out and went to Wal-Mart and you all know how much I detest Wal-Mart. I still needed to hit up Target for 16 ct. crayons anyway and a pencil box. $65 later in school supplies and he is ready. And let's not even talk about the new wardrobe. Here's a pic of #3. They are anticipating him to be high 6's or low 7's for weight. Can't wait to meet him!!! I actually told Steve I was exited about breastfeeding after buying new tubing and bras and pads... And he remarked "I will remind you of that when you are pumping." Hey Dude, I said I was excited about breastfeeding, not pumping!
Still need to clean out the truck, put the seat in and re-arrange all the car seats. I always have the carpets cleaned before we bring a new bundle home but this time we are getting brand new carpet downstairs. I was torn because I know the boys will trash it but our old carpet just wasn't looking good anymore even after the carpet cleaner came. And he was coming every 3 months! Steve and I are both drawn to light carpeting but that isn't practical at all. So we picked out a color called Glaze that is a light taupe. 1st column, 3rd down.
Sunday night we have to move all the furniture and toys (cringe!) and rip out the old stuff. In a way I am excited because I love to throw stuff out but the stress of turning our lives upside down for 2 days has me a little freaked. I just wanted nice soft carpet because we spend more time on the floor than the furniture. We went with Stainmaster carpet but you know I will still be on sippy cup patrol. It's 2013, Can they make one that doesn't leak for crying out loud?!?
And more stress - Steve has decided to go back to school. For those of you that don't know, Steve met me in July and I started nursing school in August. And let me say he was wonderful. He supported me through it all, even knocked me up the last 2 semesters - haha! So I will of course be supportive of him but already thinking how hard it will be on us as a family. He will be working full time and going to school/clinical 4 nights a week. In the end I know it will be worth it. Nursing is a great job to have with kids. He could work 3 days a week, I could work 2 and we could let papa be retired. Although I know he would be over here because he misses his boys after only a couple days. Steve has to take 3 or 4 courses but hopefully he can start the program next Fall. I think he should start hosing out all the poopie diapers and manning the puke bucket next time one of these kids gets sick just so he's prepared for all the bodily fluids. (yeah right!) And Steve would like to be called Steve RN in the future just so ya' know ;)
And I added just a little more chevron to the office. Let's hope Hubs can actually hang it on the wall this weekend.
