UGH! Flashbacks of morning sickness are no fun at all!! Top it off with lack of sleep because my hips, pelvis & back keep me tossing and turning every hour and that's one exhausted ill mommy!! Part of the sick stomach is attributed to the fact they changed up my meds. I had to get my thyroid meds increased and start taking SlowFe Iron. I found out last week that I am anemic again. Oh boy what fun! That explains the lack of energy, aside from the poor sleep I've been getting!
On a more cheerful note, I spent yesterday afternoon washing up the rest of the baby clothes, bibs, blankets and sheets. I usually don't care too much for doing laundry, especially since I practically do a load or two daily. But this was different. It was like I got to do something special....man I need to get my hormones under control! At least I didn't burst into tears or anything. Seems to be happening a lot these days. More on that later. Anyway, so I sorted out all her clothes and have the newborn sizes up to 6 months hung up and ready for use. The rest I am putting away in the dresser until it's time to use them. Some of them are still hung up, but on another pole. I've been trying to find more of these really cute pink baby hangers I purchased at Wal*Mart by Delta. Funny thing is they are hard to find. I managed to buy the last 2 packs last week.....and my mother reported her Wal*Mart Super Center is out of pink hangers! Hopefully they will restock them. Not sure if they will since Wal*Mart has a habit of putting out specialty items and never bringing them back when they all sell out. But such is life right?
My newest mission, aside from the coming home outfit which I found one, just need to pop into Kohls & see if they have a newborn or 0-3 mo size (will update later with pic), is to locate bassinet sheets. Sounds easy right? I thought so too! Turns out no two bassinet brands/styles are alike. I have this really cute bassinet from Kolcraft. It's oval shaped which pretty much rules out most sheets in stores. It's also a funky size, 15x29, which rules out a lot more on the web. I found something I might try, but they are not oval. If all else fails I will either make my own or enlist the help of my super sewing star mom-in-law to make some. She's pretty good at those things, though she might tell you differently! Since baby Autumn is going to be here next month, I think I better get busy on working the sheets out!!
As for the tears, of course this time in a pregnancy can prove to be exciting, stressful and exhausting!! Not to mention the over flowing hormones cause tissue grabbing moments when you least expect it! I read an article in one of my pregnancy mags that it's normal as long as you don't wallow in sorrow all the time. So far so good! I just need to be sure to be prepared with tissues if I want to watch movies that make me cry. Like Jersey Girl. I watched it last night, only remembering how cute it was last time I saw it a few years ago. Ha! It's sad too!! Seeing that teeny tiny baby with no mommy made me cry like a newborn! In fact, just seeing her made me tearful. I just can't wait for my teeny tiny one to be here. It's the end of next month and boy am I getting anxious. Only 56 days to go...sounds like a long time. But in baby speak it's only a few moments and before I know it the big day will be here and I'll be dumbfounded wondering where all the time has gone....at least I know I'll be prepared. I expect to have all the baby preparation done this month so I can at least try to relax and take it easy next month. Wish me luck on that! I'm sure I'll still be hustling around here and clearing clutter out....man there's a lot of shit in this house that needs to go away! HAHA!!
Take care & enjoy your day!
