This week Bryson is doing what he does best. Continuing to grow and fatten up! He is over five pounds now and could be anywhere from 18-20 inches long! His height and weight at this point could vary. He is still gaining approximately half a pound a week, but some babies are bigger or smaller then others, which is normal.
Bump-
This dress fits a little different then the last time I wore it!
12 Weeks vs. 34 Weeks
I got a phone call from the doctor's office saying that my doctor will be gone another month! (personal emergency) I am going to try a new doctor in the same office. He has great reviews and recommendations. Hopefully, if I like him, I am going to be able to make him my new permanent doctor. I would rather have a doctor who is up to speed with my current info/wants/needs. It is a little scary to be switch this late, but the way I see it, I am the one doing all the work and the nurses are the main people I will be dealing with. The doctor just comes in at the end to catch the baby! lol As long as he is friendly, qualified, and is willing to support my wish for a natural birth, then I am sure it will be fine. I meet him tomorrow, so I will let you all know how it goes.
Yesterday was our baby shower! We had a lot of fun. We got a lot of little items that we needed. DIAPERS, wipes, nail clippers, baby-proofing items for the house, socks, a few cute outfits, some books, bibs, some creams and ointments, etc. It was great! These practical items are what we needed the most!
We are almost completely ready now! We got an amazing deal this week on a pack n play at target...
This model is available online only at target.com for $180 We found one in the store that had been an online return. It is not available in stores, so they stuck a clearance sticker on it for only $44 !! So excited!
This is the coolest diaper bag ever... lol Kevin found this Demarini backpack, normally used for baseball gear, to use as our diaper bag! It has pockets on the side for baseball bats (or BOTTLES), and a big zipper slot at the bottom for baseball cleats (diapers and wipes), a small personal compartment (Mom/Dad's keys, phone, wallet) Huge zipper pockets for helmet/gloves (Plenty of room for baby items) and the entire thing is water resistant. It is perfect! Easy to carry, and not too "girly" for Kevin!
The only things we have left to buy are-a boppy pillow and pillow cover, prince lionheart seat, stroller/carseat travel system, a pack of newborn mittens, moby wrap baby carrier, sheets for the pack n play, contouring bath sponge cushion, sleep sacks, backup changing pad cover, bottle brushes, gas relief drops, baby sunscreen.
Not too bad! I imagine we will be done and ready by the end of this week! Kevin's mom and dad are going in together to buy us a baby swing! I am super excited to get that! I just can't believe how big the list was and how we are finally almost done! I feel like super mama! Lol His nursery is almost finished, we are just waiting on one more item to arrive in the mail! Pictures coming soon!!
The hospital bag is packed and ready to go. I also got a FREE breast pump this week. My insurance covered 100% of the cost! Very exciting!
Here are some pictures from our shower yesterday...
Fire pit out back
This is the gift basket I made for the raffel drawing. Everyone brought a pack of diapers or wipes to enter the drawing.
26 Blocks. Everyone decorated one letter so that Bryson will have a full set of the alphabet.
It's a rain cloud... for the baby "shower" :)
This is the appetizer that I made!
