Daniel and I are lucky that we can both work and not have to leave our baby with someone else. I'm cutting back on work to 3 days a week, so the day I work are Daniels off days... plus we'll both still have Mondays off together. It couldn't work out more perfectly. We of course do have friends and family close by to help out when we need them... but I'm grateful that between the 2 of us we are able to make things work!
As the time approaches we really feel like we're ready. I'm not even nervous for the delivery. Daniel is so calm all of the time... It's really hard to get too worked up about anything. I know when the time comes, he will be my rock and keep me focused and relaxed. He's the BEST!
So far we've made out like bandits. We have everything we need to bring our baby girl home. We really appreciate all of the wonderful thoughtful gifts, and gift cards we've received. We feel so lucky to have such great friends, and family. The only thing I really need for myself is to pack my hospital bag! I'm so excited to do that! So any suggestions on things I might need that isn't on the usual list would be great!!
Holl. You're such a weirdo. Post pictures of your Seattle baby shower!!! Xoxoxo love you!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you guys!! Sounds like you're totally ready. As far as the hospital bag.. a few things I wish I would have brought: A video camera. Can't believe I forgot it! Also, bring your own pillow!! The hospital ones aren't that comfortable. And some snacks that you like! The hospitals have decent food and snacks but having a few things you enjoy will make the experience better! Best of luck, and I'm praying you have her on March 25th! :-)
ReplyDeleteTime is going to fly by from here on out! I was the same way at the end totally not nervous for the delivery by now you are just ready to be done! I forgot to bring a brush and hair tie to the hospital sounds silly but I needed it... and I was glad I brought an extra binky cuz Harlo didn't like the one the hospital gave.. good luck!!
