Happy New Year ladies!! We’re having babies this year 😱 Eeeeeek!!!!! My weekend mission is to pack my hospital bag! I got my breast pump and it’s hanging out in the box. Do I need to sterilize it or do anything for it to be ready to use? Should I bring it to the hospital with me? Yes to sterilizing it, but no to bringing it! Like dashook said if you need one in the hospital they have great ones there.

hrh That's what it is! The nesting is free to kick in now that the holidays are over. DH has been nesting for a couple months now (seriously), so I always joke my instinct hasn't needed to kick in since his is in overdrive. But this weekend I'm suddenly all about prepping for baby...checking off the big and little things. And feeling seriously annoyed and inconvenienced by any kind of errand or responsibility or appt that is not baby-related in my mind!

A little poem I wrote thinking about our LO's getting ready to meet us! (it has a Christian perspective - not making assumptions about others' ways of seeing the world, this is just how I see it!)
Did you meet Him when He knit you together? When His angel smacked you with a kiss Straight between your nose and lips I bet He and you were already best buds.
Are you hanging out with Him in there? When you’re lulled by sloshing and my beating heart And you’re cozy warm through all your parts I bet you understand His peace.
Is He getting you ready for this big wide world? Well, Mama and Papa met Him, too And look forward to reintroducing you! So cuddle up – love is waiting for you.

Happy 2019, friends!
I was hit by a godawful stomach virus yesterday, but I’m feeling better today and hoping so hard that DS and MH are spared.🤞
More progress has been made to get ready for the babe. We took down all of the Christmas decor this morning, and now I have to figure out where to put the swing and pack n play in the living room. My hospital bag is about halfway packed, and I picked up a few preemie outfits the other day. I think the only major thing left to do is to install the car seat base.

You all sound so productive. My parents kept the boys last night since DS1 wanted a sleep over so no little people were here to wake me up! Woke up at 4 to pee, 7:30 to pee, and then finally at a little before 10. We went to my parents for brunch, left a little after 12, and came back where I proceeded to take a nap for 3 hours.

I bought some cube shelves on Saturday at Target and DH built them yesterday. I spent a huge part of the day reorganizing the playroom toys into cubes, removing toys that aren’t babyproof, and sorting books. My back is not thanking me today but OMG do I feel happy every time I walk past that room now!
