Today I have reached week 28 of this pregnancy. And since it’s ending early, that makes for only nine more weeks to go. Yikes. Time to kick it into high gear, I guess. Unfortunately I don’t have a very strong nesting instinct. I do have a strong resting instinct instead. Still, I’ve made some preparations. First off, let me announce the baby name poll. Feel free to vote for your favorites, or to suggest something altogether new. This baby could end up being named by ballot. But mom might try to rig the election (Felix Felix Felix).
When the little man was born I started out with a crappy backpack diaper bag that bit into my shoulders, causing me extreme agony. Early on I ditched that for a Chrome DJ bag that did, indeed, serve me well. But the buckle has since broken and the velcro is shot. So for this new kid on the block, I have turned to The Diaper Dude, and ordered this bag. It looks promising.
I’ve also broken down and put up a Babies R Us registry. Partially to remind myself of things we’ll be needing, but also for family and friends to check out. I know, technically I shouldn’t be having a baby shower for my second child, but I do believe one is in the works anyhow.
Bonus: We’ve been ordering so much *stuff* online lately. It seems like, more often than not, I come home to find a new package has arrived. Yesterday it was Dragon Quest VIII. I have to say I’m hooked, even though all I did was back seat drive while the husband played. For hours. It is so much better than Final Fantasy. The graphics, the scenery, the story, the absolutely adorable foes (like the bunicorn - bunny/unicorn), the lack of scantily-clad women…two thumbs up from me.
