24 weeks

Wednesday, June 25, 2008

Today I am twenty-four weeks along. That means I have only 16 weeks left. [Insert slight panicky feeling.] We've been so busy that time is just flying by. I keep thinking that October is SO far away but yeah, not so much.

Some big things we need to get done:
1. Figure out the crib situation. The crib that my parents used with me and my brother is in my garage. It needs some work. Josh says he can do it and is pretty determined. And yet, it sits in the garage... Last night Josh said that maybe we should just buy a new crib. If he can't decide, then we're really in trouble.
2. Finish the rest of the baby's room. We still need a chair, little side table to go next to the chair, curtains, the rest of the decorations I want to get.
3. Register. Yikes. I am so not prepared for this. Josh and I are researchers. Pretty much every purchase we make gets at least a little research on Consumer Reports or some other googling. I have no idea what car seat I want to put my little one in or what other baby gear we need.
4. Finish reading the pile of baby books. This goes along with the fact that Josh and I are researchers. The thought of bringing a baby home before reading about all of the different sleep methods boggles my mind.

Sidenote:
Last night Josh drove me over to Dairy Queen so I could get the cotton candy blizzard I've been craving. I could only eat about half of it so we stopped by my folks when we got back in town. I knew my mom would help me eat it. As we pulled up to my parent's house I realized there was a little league game going on. (My parents backyard is next to a little league diamond.) I said, "Josh! There's a little league game! That means we could get some of their popcorn!! You know how it's so good to eat something salty and crunchy after ice cream??". I didn't get a reply from Josh, he just laughed and laughed. Finally I realized, "Uh, I sounded really pregnant there, didn't I?"
