Baby, You're making me a shopaholic

As the days tick past (T minus 8 days!) and move toward my due date. I have found that the nesting instinct has kicked in full swing. I don't know what happened to me, but this past weekend these crazy obsessive thoughts came into my head like a tornado. First, all that I could think about was cleaning out the coat closet, so I cleaned that out. Then it was the kitchen. Then the bathroom. I continued this process through the entire house and through all of the closets. I couldn't help it. The thoughts of cleaning just kept occupying my thoughts until the chores were done.

And since I had pretty much everything clean, I moved onto baby set up. I made sure every area that we would need from hospital bag, to diapering area were set up.

Since most things are clean, and organized I started to move on to things that I obsessively think that I need to buy. This weeks obsessions include buying cloth diapers online and Pee Pee Tee Pees. So diapers, we have plenty of small diapers but I am focused on finding the best deals on Bum Genius which are the one size fits all kind. The hunt for the best deal on this Cadillac of cloth diapers has taken up most of my day today.

And Pee Pee Tee Pee's. Yes, you read all of those "ee" words correctly. I don't know why, but I decided that we needed them. Even if they do not work, I need them. They are little triangles that fit over the babies "Pee Pee" and keep him from accidentally peeing on you while you change them. I found ones with fire hydrants on them. Yes I know these might be pointless, but they are so cute. And going to find them gave me something to do for an hour. Here's a visual:

Growing like a bean

Another brilliant baby idea! :) I thought this would come in handy to measure our little bean. He seems to grow so quickly, this can keep us up to date. It's a baby measuring sheet, just lay babies head in the center and it tells you how long they are. Parents can measure baby from any direction, find more photos and info here.

Childbirth, Childbirth everywhere

We attended our first childbirth class last night, an event that neither Daniel or I was looking that forward to. I was hesitant for a few reasons, one being that the minute I put this on the calender THREE MONTHS AGO, other events happening on these specific Mondays have been coming up. Secondly, is that my husband has a condition that happens during every parenting type of class that we go to, lets call it "giggle-at-inappropriate-times disease." It's not that he is not interested in the topics, but for some reason the other parents in the classes that we go to are usually really reserved and quite. So we will sit in silence waiting for the class to begin, sit silently through the class and then leave. Daniel's response to this is to make jokes and laugh throughout the class. Childbirth class has been no exception to this trend, and I joined him in the giggling this time. Although it hurt so bad to try to hold in my laughter, I began to have tears. All of th...

Alternative Diaper Bag

We have been having a struggle finding the ultimate diaper bag. I have purchased two so far and looked a hundred more. We are looking for one that can hold all of our stuff, fit into the basket of our stroller, and looks trendy so Daniel can carry it and not be totally awkward. We recently switched to an old backpack that I had. It seems to be working, but my search continues. Today I found this.... it's a jacket for dads that functions as a diaper bag. All the storage, coolness and functionality we are looking for and its hands free! And as a bonus, it basically ensures that Daniel would be the one changing diapers. It has a changing pad in the back pocket and an easy access wipes pocket. It also has a side pocket for bottle. GENIUS!!! www.dadgear.com
