Well That's Odd

It seems this newest baby is missing a certain body part the first two had. How odd!

Ultrasound and shopping

We have a heart beat. We have lots of wiggles. I'm 10 weeks today, everything agrees with that. Estimated due date is still set at Sept 5.

I bought maternity pants. It's a little early for them. But I know I'm going to need them. I'll end up waking up one morning suddenly needing them. So I have them ready. I'm confident on size. Granted I'll probably need a size bigger towards then end due to thigh expansion. But for now, they will work. Anyway, I have 3 pairs of jeans and 2 pairs of work pants. I'll want a couple more work pants but I bought what they had. I'm not worried about shirts. Work will provide work shirts, my husband's closet will supply the rest.

I also bought the rest of the baby stuff I'm going to buy. Everything else can wait until there is an actual baby (shampoo, rash cream, etc) or the next tax return (highchair).

Wasn't Going To, But I Did

It's too soon to buy baby stuff, I know. Anything can happen. Something did happen to the girl at work and it's fresh on my mind. I haven't even seen/heard a heart beat.

But...

I have the money now.

I know my ability to hold onto money.

Work had a sale on a lot of the stuff on my list. The little stuff anyways.

I figure if worse comes to worse, I can return the stuff or hang on to it for another year or two. Eventually we'll need it.

First Prenatal Appointment Details

I had my first appointment today. Nothing major. Just a basic exam.

Based on my last period, I am 8 weeks, 2 days and due on Sept 5th, like previously calculated.

On the 7th I have my first ultrasound. I'll see the heartbeat and will get a more exact estimated due date.

Good times.

Stuffs

I'm putting together a registry. Not because I want people to buy me stuff (this is number 3, we are on our own) but because I need to start to formulate a list of what we need.

The tax return is coming any day now. We are using it to buy what we need.

There isn't much that we need. I mean we have most of the basics. But there are some things that we just don't want to reuse (nasty burp cloths that are long since destroyed by spit up) and things that just didn't survive the first 2 (bouncer seat). So I'm taking stock of what we have and going from there.

I was afraid before we started this registry that there would be a lot to put on it. Not because we don't have a lot a crap but because babies need so much. But as I work my way through the site, I'm relived that there isn't really much we need.

We are budgeting 500$ for this. We can spend more if we need to later, as we go. But spending less would be awesome.

Aside from a couple big things, the bouncer and a highchair, it looks like mostly it's small piddly stuff so we should come in well under the 500$ budget.

So I guess I'm relieved.

It feels weird to buy this stuff so early on, but if we don't now, we won't have the money later.
