Sorry.
But now I am back!! I know you have all be anxiously waiting for me, right?
Anyhow, I feel pretty prepared for this baby. When our home study was first approved, I was in this crazy, intense mood of collecting what I had labeled the "must haves". The "must haves" are anything that we would need to care for a baby right now. For example, if by some miracle someone called and said, "Come get this baby, right now" what would we need to make that happen?
Here is what we have so far:
Here is a pic of the car seat:
Swing - a friend from work gave me a swing and we love it! It is super cute!
My family cradle – my grandmother bought this for my mom when she was pregnant with my older sister. My siblings and I all slept in it as infants, as well as all of our children. I am so excited to be able to use it again.
Fleece blankets
Burp cloths
T-shirts
Blanket sleepers
Footed sleepers
Nasal aspirator
Nail clippers
First aid kit
Thermometer
I don't have a ton of these items, but enough to get us started. I do not have pacifiers, diapers, formula or bottles. These are things that we can stop at Walmart and get on the way home with the baby. However, I will probably get some diapers in the next month or so, I am just watching the prices on them to see where is the best place to buy them. Not all diaper's are created equal. My daughter only wore Pampers and the new sweet baby will only wear Pampers too.
I feel like we have quite the little stash going! I am trying to be as prepared as possible, so that I am not sitting here with a baby, realizing I need a TON of stuff!
I think we are going to be off to a good start!
As always my friends, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are always praying and seeking God to make sure that we are making the right moves.
Your word is a lamp to
my feet
And a light to my path.
And a light to my path.
Psalm
119:105
