I have started nesting. I am getting really excited about our new little bundle of boy and I have started making lists and checking it twice and pinning projects etc. I am currently sewing some bassinet fitted sheets. This is my first baby that will have a bassinet. Hinalei had a crib because no one told us a bassinet was better for a newborn and baby Joe was in a portacot after we arrived in NZ. This time in our own little place I wanted a bassinet. I have been deal hunting and finally this week managed to score one for less than an arm and a leg... Seriously NZ prices for baby stuff is ridiculous. Sometimes I like to go onto the Walmart site just to tease myself on the prices I am missing out on. For instance a bottle sterilizer here is around $200 at Walmart I saw it for $40. I wanted to shed some tears. Also pampers which are my favorite newborn baby diapers are nowhere to be found in NZ unless you order them online directly from the company website and they don't even have the swaddler ones you buy from Walmart or target. Doh!
I have also been reading up on what other mums have to say about #3 kids because I always hear that it is the hardest number to handle. Most of them mention keeping it simple for the first few months. Setting yourself like simple day to day goals, feed the kids, feed self, wash face, maybe change your pj pants. Stuff like that. Not to stress about going out or juggling to many outings. Baby is due right as holiday season basically begins so we will see how that actually works out. I am worried to about getting house work done so I have been trying to clean little by little and prep food ideas that are simple and quick to put together that everyone will eat. I am worried a bit about my little Joe because I am so not ready for him to be my big grown up 2nd child but he already is such a little dude that I am confident he will be sweet and I can just see in a years time my 2 little terrors getting into all sorts of mischief.
I am 30 weeks this week and while 10 weeks seems like a lot of time I know it is not. This whole year has just flown by!
