I can't believe how this pregnancy is flying by. Today marks the first day of the third trimester! I've passed the double digit mark and now have about 90 days to go until my due date. In some ways, I feel like 13 weeks is still a ways to go. I haven't done too much preparation yet and probably won't for at least a few more weeks. Other times, I do realize that the next 13 weeks may fly by and I should kick it into high gear to get ready for the baby. So far, I've started dragging the tubs of clothes, blankets, bibs and burp cloths upstairs from the basement, to get an idea of what we have. I bought bedding, although we'll be at least another month before we start on the bedroom (most likely longer). I started buying some clothes, and realized we need more than I thought. I still need to get some much warmer sleepers and outfits with long sleeves and pants in 0-6 month sizes. I bought a snowsuit at Old Navy on Friday because they were having some good sales. I started ordering my fall/winter maternity clothes, because the weather is getting a little cooler and my tank tops aren't going to work for much longer. In reality, there isn't a ton more to buy. Just the cosleeper, a swing, our diaper stash with some more wipes and wetbags, more clothes, and items to decorate her room.
Really, I'm not ready for this pregnancy to be over yet. The thought of getting 4 hours of sleep in 1 hour stretches each night, being tied to the couch for hours on end nursing, and trying to comfort a screaming baby that can't tell me what's wrong, makes my head spin. Babies are a joy, but also so much work! For now, I can deal with some of the discomforts of pregnancy and wait out the next 13 weeks for this baby to come. I'm sure in about 10 weeks I will feel differently, but I'm very happy being pregnant for the time being!
