Waffling

I'm getting more and more excited to have this baby all the time, and yet somehow still want him to stay in there forever. What a weird contradiction in feelings! I think all the "stuff" we've accumulated in the baby's room is upping the excitement level just a tad. But feeling him move is SO COOL too, I'm really going to miss that. Lately he REALLY seems to object if I lean against something or if my pants are too tight or when auntie Natalie pokes him in the head. He squirms around as if we're invading his personal space and it's making him uncomfortable. I can relate to that.

Saturday I had my 2nd and final baby shower, which brought LOTS more baby boy clothes and a few more items from the registry. Which meant that on Sunday we made the trip to Babies R Us and left with a HUGE hole in our wallet plus a dresser/changing table, crib mattress, crib bedding set, and pack & play (that was all the coupons I had). We saved about $140 by getting everything with a coupon so I'm hoping to be on hiatus from buying much of anything else until the next mailer. Although, Target has my breast pump on sale 10% off right now, and I get an extra 10% off of that with my Entertainment book, but it's online only and no free shipping. So I'm waffling on that as well. With the shipping charge, I'd come out paying just about a dollar less than if I got a 15% off coupon from Babies R Us and picked it up in the store.... what to do, what to do? A dollar is a dollar, right? OH and I found my final letter "S" to spell out Seth's name on the wall. Yay! I've had the E, T, H for awhile now but both Michaels' in town were all out of "S" until recently. So I need to paint those and hang them up.

The house is getting chaotic again :( It was so clean for awhile, especially the nursery... ahh memories of the nice, tidy, empty nursery. But now of course the nursery is full to the brim with stuff. We could hardly fit the dresser in the room last night. Mainly because there were boxes and toys and gift bags all over the floor, and ONESIES GALORE EVERYWHERE -- it's kind of overwhelming me. I just need to unpack everything and start putting it away, now that I have somewhere to put it all (the dresser). But then I start thinking of all the other stuff we STILL need that we have NO ROOM for. And then I start to panic a little. I just need to keep reminding myself that I still have a few weeks to get it all organized.

I am really starting to get freaked out about the swine flu. Not a lot of people at work have really had it, but I keep hearing about their kids being at home sick. So I'm sure they are just walking around with germs flying off of them in all directions. And when I hear people coughing at their desks it just reeeaaaaally bothers me. Don't they understand how serious this is? GO...HOME!!!!!
