It's been an exciting few weeks! We recently learned the gender (more to come), and we're starting to get into full baby mode. It seemed like up until this point we couldn't really do much as far as getting things ready. However, this Thanksgiving break we took on cleaning out the closets. The closet in the baby room was our catch all after the move last year. It was the place we stuck things when we didn't know what to do with it or if we would deal with it later. And the time has come to deal with it!
Jonathan and I walked through a baby store yesterday, and we felt completely overwhelmed. There are so many choices! Our plan is to take my friend Elizabeth shopping with us over Christmas break so she can tell us what to buy and what to skip. I did order some bedding online that we liked, but we'll see once it gets here.
This week is the first time I've worn maternity clothes (mainly pants). I can still get by with some of my regular clothes for a while longer. And luckily, I think I'm pretty much set thanks to Veronica and the giant bin of clothes. I'm still not sleeping very well at night. Generally, I sleep great for the first 3-4 hours, and then I toss and turn for the rest of the night because my legs feel like they are going numb. I bought a pregnancy pillow, and it's helping some. However, it takes up over half the bed so poor Jonathan is scrunched on his side. I think this sleeping issue is here to stay. I've also had crazy heartburn recently. Normally, this isn't an issue for me so I can only imagine it's baby related.
