Try your best to resist!!!

Thanks 🙂 My due date is March 30th.

Oh yes, we’re not buying that much. I’ve had the urge but in the end I do realize that we’re going to get a lot from family/friends and that the stores can’t be trusted with their “must haves”. Logic is still winning for the time being but I will admit that I’ve been lured a few times even if I didn’t pull the trigger 😉

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Luckily my husband loves when I clean and organize so he’s happy to find me cleaning up the house. As a second time mom let me give you a little advice: try not to buy too much. Odds are you won’t need it or someone else will buy it for you long before the baby is born or shortly after. I had an incredible shower and I got most of the things I needed. I did buy a few little baby onesies and sleepers and furniture for the nursery, but that was just about all I needed.

Glad to hear everything is going well with you 🙂

That’s hilarious! My husband was a great helper after my son was born. He did laundry and dishes for weeks if not months!

Thanks! It ended up taking us a full year to get pregnant. I was nervous at first, but feeling better about things as the weeks wear on.

I’m glad to hear you are feeling well and energetic now. When I was pregnant with my son I actually had quite a lot of energy after the first six to eight weeks. This time around it’s been very different. I am tired a lot, but I think being sick hasn’t helped that. Since my son started preschool there has been a perpetual sickness looming in our house 🙁 I do remember a big burst of energy in my third trimester. I was moving heavy furniture and doing all sorts of crazy things with a huge belly looming in front of me.

I’m glad to hear my post was helpful. Last time I seemed to spend a lot of time moving things around and placing them in inconvenient locations. This time I’ve decided to move anything I will not need to some other place. I hope it will make life easier and also make it easier to perform a second purge a few months after the baby is born.

I’m so happy that things are going well with you this pregnancy!

Until I read this anyway – you gave me some good ideas! I love the idea of moving the pre-pregnancy clothes out of the room entirely. I am not using anything in my closet or three of my six drawers anyway; why not actually MOVE the stuff that’s in there and replace it with baby clothes that are currently in boxes stacked up by the bed? Then I might have room to set up a changing area in my bedroom as well. And then I’ll actually have to go through all my clothes when I bring them back into my closet, instead of defaulting to the few things that fit and ignoring the stuff that I don’t wear.

I think this weekend is when we’ll actually set up the baby area in our room, since I’m just about at the point that if he were born, he’d be coming home with me even though it’d be early.

My “nesting” for our daughter was basically just painting our kitchen cupboards. The day she was born, I had my husband running around cleaning the bathrooms before the midwife got there. He was a great birth partner!
