The baby wish list/ to do list

Time is flying. This baby is going to be here in no time. My energy has picked up again and I have quite the list to accomplish with 4 weeks to go..... I started yesterday by packing my hospital bag (which isn't done yet) and for as sure as I am that I'm having a boy, I still packed an outfit for each gender "just in case".
I've got some thank-you notes to write, my ring sling to finish, Halloween costumes & treats to make and then there's the cleaning. You know, because my house isn't clean already.

We've started getting some decent snowfall and the temperature has been hovering right around freezing. The roads have been terrible but that didn't stop me from driving 35 minutes to blueberry baby yesterday (when its normally a 15 min trek). I just HAD to go get a few things. And of course while I was there I saw a few more things I want to add to my wish list.
People keep asking what I want for Christmas and it seems most things I want are for the new baby. You'd think after having the twins I'd have all the baby things that I want but I guess there are always things to be desired.

So far on my list I'm hoping to get the baby:
  • a few new outfits of its very own (once I know the gender) that don't have to be hand-me-downs from its brother/sister. Even though it wont care if its clothes are new or not, I will know.
  • A pair of those super cute Padraig slippers. The twins never had them but I love them. http://padraigcottage.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=2
  • a few Bum Genius 3.0 cloth diapers
  • His/her own baby book. Everett & Macey have the ones that are "The first 5 years". I need to find one more for this baby.
  • a swankie blankie security blanket - http://www.swankieblankie.com/index-5.html
I think that's it. If I make it to my due date Ive got 8 more days of work left before I start my 12 weeks of maternity leave. I still haven't decided if I'm going back to work or not. I guess I'll see how things go.
I just put the kids down & Curts at the gym so I guess I should go complete something on that to-do list of mine although it sure is nice to sit down!

  1. Hi there! Thought I'd drop by and have a peek. Congrats on your pregnancy, I hope things are going well!

    As for Bum Genius diapers, I love ours. It's been 15 months since we got ours and they're still going strong! We found that they can't stand up to a night's worth of pee, but are perfect all the rest of the time. Totally worth the money.

    Congrats again and good luck with the new one and the twins. Woo!
