How do I feel?
Well, I am extremely sleepy. Not so pukey feeling anymore, and I need to buy some elastic waist jeans. My jeans are all ready tight in the tummy. I am sure the Mexican Food I have been having at least once a day is not helping matters either. So, I have been running around in my Capri sweatpants, and a pair of khaki stretchy Capri's. I miss my jeans and I also froze this weekend when the weather was cool on Sunday.
Ed and I did manage to go and buy a few baby things this weekend. However, we did not make it to Carter's or Osh Kosh B'Gosh. Both times when we drove to Vicksburg the mall was all ready closed. So, we went shopping at walmart instead.
I tried to hold back and let him get what he wanted to get, and it was very hard.
But, I managed to let him pick out most of the things we got.
This is what we got:
- Ear thermometer
- A bear that makes sounds that is supposed to sound like the womb
- A nasal aspirator
- A 12 pack of white cloth diapers (I will use these for burp cloths)
- Bottle Brush
- 3 outfits (One for boy, one for girl and one for either. Yes, I am keeping my receipts!)
- A tiny little medicine bottle that has a nipple on the end. I don't remember what it is called, I will have to get back to you on that
- 2 bottles of baby wash (one was the kind with the Shea butter and cocoa and the other one is supposed to help the baby rest better. They are both Johnson's brands and smell delicious)
- 2 bottles of baby lotion that have the same scents as the baby wash
- A baby sound machine that has earphones that we can listen to sounds in my tummy and eventually hear the baby's heartbeat. (this will come in handy as Ed will not be able to go to many Dr. Appointments with me because of him working out of town.)
- A package of baby clothes coat hangers
- A little plastic dishwasher container to hold nipples, pacifiers and bottle rings
I think that is all we got this weekend. I may have missed something tho. We were really limited on what we could buy because we do not know whether or not to buy for a boy or a girl. So many things are either PINK or BLUE.
As I was looking through the baby department at Wal Mart, I noticed how many different kinds of bottles there are to choose from. I thought I wanted to use the Evenflo, with the disposable bags. But, now I am not so sure. I plan on researching bottles soon to find the kind I want to use.
We also looked at bottle warmers. Most of them warm the bottle by using steam and are supposed to be safer/better than using a microwave for warming. They claim to warm evenly. But, they also take 5 to 10 minutes depending on the temperature of the milk. I am tempted to just go with using the microwave to warm bottles. I don't know that I could listen to my baby scream of hunger for 10 minutes when the microwave did a perfectly fine job with my other 2 kid's bottles. You just have to be sure to shake the bottle and test it before you give it to baby.
No, I am NOT breastfeeding. I did not breastfeed Lisa or Charlie and besides these suckers are too big to pull out in public!! Not only that, I don't want to deal with a pump, leaking, and all that good pain in the butt stuff. =]
