Now that we know It's a Boy!, I'm trying to give into the nesting instinct so that little Baby Boy Beck has some things to use when he comes home.
- Bryan and I bought our first package of diapers on Saturday! Size 1. I've been told by several wise mommies that it's not really worth buying a ton of newborn size diapers, since most babies grow out of them so quickly. And, knowing my family history of babies, our little boy will probably be a pretty good size (my guess is around 8 pounds).
- I found a pattern online for a chair sling http://crafts.sleepingbaby.net/chairseat.html that looks pretty easy. I haven't made it yet nor have I ever used one, so this is not a testimonial. If anyone reading this has used one, please let me know if it's worth it or not.
- We visited my sister-in-law Tara and her family last week, and she generously gave us a HUGE bag of baby boy clothes and shoes, a baby swing, and a boppy pillow. Thanks Tara!
Okay, so maybe I'm not yet into the full-blown thralls of mommy nesting, but it's a start.
What else do I need to be doing now to be ready when the baby comes? Please share your advice and helpful hints. Thank you!
