Almost Baby-Ready... One Piece at a Time...

This weekend featured another trip up to the attic... we got out the infant seat, the bouncy seat and the baby bathtub. The infant seat is in the car (but not installed yet). Ben thinks it's pretty cool and keeps telling us it's where the baby will ride. For awhile it was sitting in the living room and his Cabbage Patch Doll, Molly, was buckled into it. It was actually quite helpful that he did that since Molly is about the size (lengthwise) of a newborn. I was able to adjust the straps and the head thingy accordingly. ;)


Molly also tried out the bouncy seat and the baby tub. So did Benjamin. (ack!) He thought it was all very funny until he got stuck in the tub. ;)

What else...I boiled the new binkies and the size 1 bottle nipples, which I now realize I need a few more of.

What's left? Well, I still have to pack ye olde hospital bag and Ben's overnight bag. And there are a few more things that have to come down from the attic. (floor mat thingy, swing, etc) Some of it could wait until the baby is born and home, but at that point, I'm thinking I won't feel like treking up the attic ladder and I'm really the only one who knows where everything is up there. I should probably give some thought to putting away some of the too-small maternity clothes and maybe hanging up a few normal-sized summer shirts (you know, in case they miraculously fit soon after Too is born)

Yeah, don't mind me... just thinking outloud.... Ugh. Now i'm overwhelmed again!

Comments:
This is quite helpful for me - particularly after the shower.

So, I got the Avent bottles in 4 oz. and 9 oz. I think - do I need separate nipples for the bottles?
 
Val, the 4oz ones you got came with size 1 nipples... you should be good with about 6-7 of them. But if you didn't get that many 4 oz bottles, you can just buy more size 1 nipples and use them w/ the 9oz bottles. You won't use the 4oz. ones for very long anyway. :)

The 9oz. ones probably came w/ size 2 nipples... you'll eventually need some size 3's and 4's too. :)
 
Ummm, okay...I am totally not prepared. I did get the carseat out of the attic, but that's about it. Have I mentioned that Laney is still in the crib? Yeah, big problem, I know. We are working on her big girl room, but my sister still has the bed and the drapes/bedding are still being made. Yeah, we're in trouble...I know. Thank goodness for the bassinet!
 
LOL Diana... yeah, you can squeeze almost three months out of the bassinet if you have to, right? ;)
