We spent time this past weekend digging out baby stuff from storage. We are very fortunate to also have a source for new infusions of baby clothes for little one #3. She may have so many options that she won't be able to repeat any outfits before she outgrows them!
We aren't really setting up in any kind of permanent way for baby girl because hopefully we'll only be here in the apartment until she is about 1 month old. Then we'll get to move into our newly renovated house and set up for "real". So in that vein, it feels weird to not be preparing as nicely for her arrival. We set up the pak n play in our bedroom for her sleeping delight and I put the changing pad on top of my dresser. I bought some cloth boxes to sort her clothes and that is about it.
At my last appointment I asked the doctor for an exam. I just wanted to make sure that everything was still sealed up nice and tight and that baby girl wasn't getting too anxious to make her entrance into the world. The doctor understood that I was being paranoid, but she obliged. Lorelei requested several appointments ago that she be allowed to come along to an appointment again to hear her baby sister's heartbeat, so tomorrow I am taking both of the girls with me for that purpose.
Baby girl is giving me all kinds of physical reminders that she is riding low now such as the teeny tiny bladder space, the more pronounced waddling, the sharp pelvic shots of pain and the low throbbing of inner thigh strain. She also has plenty of space for the kicking and elbowing that she likes to do. I feel like someone out of Alien with this thing writhing around within me.
All in all we are well and counting down the days.
