The day is coming (hopefully very) soon!
Our hospital bag is mostly packed. The baby's cute little clothes have been washed and await his arrival. The carseat is ready to go. The nursery is overflowing with baby paraphernalia. Now... if only baby would drop just a little bit to allow a fuller breath and less reflux! (and maybe allow an earlier delivery...)
We plan to deliver at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma. The due date is February 11th.
I'm attempting to be well-read and have started a couple books about nursing and feeding and sleeping. Strangely, there seem to be few books on the subject of changing dirty diapers or cleaning up messes.
Tomorrow I start my last full week of work before maternity leave.
We're getting closer on deciding on his name, but still are planning to announce the name after he's born.
Stay tuned for more updates!
I'm so glad you're doing a blog!
ReplyDeleteKeep him covered up while changing dirty diapers.
And get lots of eyes-on help with nursing while still in the hospital. It's so worth it to start off right.
Super excited!!
So breast milk seemed to stain my clothes a ton!!! I found that Grandma's Stain Remover (from Bed Bath and Beyond) works, as well as a Fels Naptha bar (in the detergent aisle of Fred Meyer). The fels naptha could irritate your skin if touched directly (I use some rubber gloves), but doesn't seem to bother my skin after the wash though.
