Nesting
First item on the agenda was to get Colton’s hospital bag
packed. It seems like such a little task, but feels so important to me. I washed blankets, pacifiers, hats, mittens, socks and everything else
that he is going to need (and most likely not need) for his - 15 minute - trip
home. Not knowing what size he is going to be makes it really hard to pick an
outfit for him to wear, but we are prepared with a few options and his bag is
officially packed! My bag is also packed
and we are ready to go whenever Colton is. I’m trying very hard not to be
overly anxious.
We washed all the “stuff” that goes with his car seat and
(with Matt’s help) I learned how to get the thing in and out of the car. Between
the car seat, cradle, pack-n-play, crib, diapers, baths and bottles, I feel
like I know NOTHING about how to take care of this baby. Maybe it's just my pregnancy brain feeling overwhelmed at times. The ability to do all
this stuff just comes naturally once your child is born, right? Please just say
yes, it does. I even drove to work today with the car seat in the car just for
fun.
I finally felt like it was time to start unpacking a lot
of the items we got from our baby shower(s), organize them and de-clutter. It
felt so good to get everything washed and put away. After church on Sunday,
Matt and I returned some duplicated baby shower items and exchanged them for
some things we still needed. We were also able to finish our Christmas
shopping, and this is the first time EVER that I’m completely done Christmas
shopping in the first week of December.
Little tasks, that are really probably unimportant, just weigh
on my mind until they are done. I’m extremely thankful that we were able to get
so many items checked off our “to do” list and I’m in true count down mode, waiting
on little Colton.
