When people have asked me this week how much longer I have to go and I answer, "six weeks" they kind of look at me like, "wow, you're going to get bigger?" Sometimes I feel huge and other times I don't. At any rate, I am finding this reaction kind of funny because, for the most part, I really don't feel that huge yet. I also think I scared the three guys at the gym the other night walking in with my big belly and hopping on the treadmill.
Today I guess the nesting urge took over as I simply couldn't stop myself from setting up some stuff in the office for Baby Girl. I put the Pack n' Play with bassinet and changing table in, the rocker with stool, and I filled the Elfa drawers with diapers & wipes, blankets, and some clothes. Baby Girl is going to be sleeping in the office (after a brief stint in our room, I am sure) when her grandmas are in town for the first two months so I don't know why I haven't set it up already, honestly. I need to clean up some office clutter and then I'll take a picture of Baby Girl's first room, sad as it is (I really wish I could just set up her actual room but that won't happen for a while!).
Anna seemed okay with all of this, she hung out in the room with me while I set it up and put her Daddy Cat in the bassinet and wanted to read on the chair. I kept talking about Baby Sister and explaining the situation with the room although I just can't say how much she "gets" it.
I think the next things on the list are to wash Anna's old clothes and the new stuff I've purchased for Baby Girl; print out the packing list for the hospital bags; print out the birth plan; move Anna's car seat over to the passenger's side and install the car seat base (we're going to try it in the middle if it fits); and drag out the swing and bouncy seat.
