There are only five weeks left until Abigail is due. How did that happen? On one hand, I am beyond ready. I am very done with all aspects of being pregnant.
On the other hand, it means Matt and I only have 5 weeks left of it being just him and me for at least 18 years. Longer since we plan on having more than 1 child.
There are also still things I need for Abigail, the nursery, and for me since our registries were barely touched. Here’s a peek.
-diaper covers (doing cloth diapers after the first month and when home)
-changing table pad
-milk storage bags for the freezer
-crib sheets (do have 2 so not too desperate on those)
-pants/long sleeves in 0-3 months (only have a couple of pairs of pants and 1 long-sleeve. Still cold in April for short sleeves for a baby)
-nursing bras and tanks
-other nursing paraphernalia
-diaper pail (using a trash can with removable liner. did finally buy a trash can today)
-lamp
-ceiling fan
-bedroom door
-closet rod and shelf
-mini blinds/curtain rods
-toy baskets
-A/C window unit (her room is where the sun comes in. We used to just close that room off in the summer. Can’t do that anymore.)
We’re getting there though. The list was much longer than that last week but I had some returns to take care of. I was able to get a number of the items I needed with the gift card that I received from those. Have some more returns to do this week that will get some of the clothes still needed.
Planning a consignment store shopping trip for Monday that will knock out most of the clothes still needed. Should be getting the curtain rods, mini blinds, lamp, and changing table pad with this week’s paycheck. Who knows when she’ll have a bedroom door. Sometime before Christmas. Hopefully before summer.
Even if we don’t get everything we need/want before Abigail gets here, we should be okay. We have the important things.
