And baby makes three...
Okay guys...remember that Blog Hiatus I took? I tolddd you I had a REALLY good reason to be so MIA for the past 2 months....are you ready for it? As if the title doesn't give it away...right?
J and I are expecting our first baby in January 2013!!!!
Remember when I went home for my bonus sister's baby shower? Well we ALLLL know that I have had baby fever forever and when my sister and I were in Target buying the essentials to make a baby emergency kit (which I have provided the contents of below) we decided a card was also necessary and guys....I lost my sh*t in the baby card aisle.... I couldn't stop crying for no apparent reason {I'm not talking cute little tears....I'm talking like...face scrunched up...ugly...horrific....my entire family and extended family just died an unexplaned death...crying} and I just summed it up to being REALLY beyond happy for Laura and Jordan...after all, they are like family. My sister B taunted me saying that I was going to have to chronicle the next 9 months because for sure I was going to end up on that terribly cliche "I didn't know I was pregnant" show...which petrified me. For the next two weeks I couldn't stop obsessing over it. Any time I talked to my mother it was all I could talk about and ask about. Finally she said to me "Haleigh...calm down. If you would be pregnant your chest would be so sore that Josh couldn't even hug you" that put me at ease...all was normal on that front...until the next day. I woke up and didn't feel the greatest so J gave me a hug...and holy moly I pushed him off so fast I think his head is still spinning.
That day after work {we decided on Spaghetti night...it was our 7 month wedding anniversary} I had to swing by the grocery on my way home just for some garlic bread....and a home pregnancy test....or 4.I got home and took the first test...while I was on the phone with Josh's mom talking about the best way to make meatballs I am staring at the test...pregnant.
It literally took everything I had not to spill the beans to his mom and then my mom and dad {whom I also polled on the best recipe for meatballs} J walked in the door to see papers saying Welcome Home Daddy on the floor...and me sitting in the winged back chair...pregnancy test in hand.
He walked in and stood there for a minute...looked at the papers on the floor and looked and me confused...then looked back to the floor {poor thing...he just didn't get it} until I held up the test and said guess what....
J thought that the welcome home daddy was from the dogs....what a man {rolls eyes}
So now...without further ado...
Baby Emergency Diaper Bag/Kit
Here's what you'll need:
Diaper Bag or Container {we used a Tupperware since L drives a lot...it needed to fit in her trunk and be easily organized...and see through}
Diapers {Size 1 and Size 2....don't want her growing out of her kit!}
1 Pack of wipes in a soft case {don't want them taking up too much room!}
A clean outfit
2 pacifiers in their own case
Boogie Wipes {Grape scented}
An Interactive Toy
Baby Orajel {for teething}
Baby Ibuprofine
Puffs {The natural flavored snacks}
Johnson & Johnson Set {Lotion/shampoo/oil}
Whatever else you think your mommy friend could use...keep in mind expiration dates and temperature limits. Obviously if this mommy to be is living in Florida she mayyy not want to keep the medicines or lotions in the heated trunk.
Other things we thought about including but didn't:
Baby nail clippers
Thermometer
Hair Bows
Hand Sanitizer {for mommy after changing an extra icky diaper}
A Burping Blanket
An Extra Bottle and measured amount of formula {just add water}
A bottle of water
Until next time...
