Well, as OCD as I am you would think that everything was ready and waiting to go for Jentri's arrival, and surprisingly-- it isn't! Of course her bed is up, swing is put together, clothes are in the dresser and the diaper bag is packed, but there is still much more little bitty details that need to be done! Had a doctor's appointment today, and everything is looking good. I'm measuring bigger than what I need to be, but I did the same with Jaylee and she came early so I'm praying, for numerous reasons, that she will come early like Jaylee!
For once in my life, I am actually PROUD to say that I SAVED something and am now needing it to use AGAIN. I never, ever thought I'd say something like this. I bought Jentri's letters for her name on the wall above her bed, and since the nursery is the exact same as it was for Jaylee, the letter color/ribbons will be the same. Last year when we moved Jaylee to her big girl room, we just re-painted her letters and I saved the bows that my mom had made off of her Red letters. So, when I went to purchase Jentri's letters today, I didn't need to purchase the ribbons-- I had SAVED Jaylee's and there are the same amount of letters in both girls names so I can re-use them! So for once, ONCE JUDY, I saved something and now have a reason to re-use it! I know you will be proud!
I also treated myself to a pedicure and oh my-- was it worth every single penny! I just about lost it though, when the lady brought out, I kid you not, a cheese grater (one with the tiny holes) and worked it all over the bottom of my feet. Usually they use the small handheld foot shaver for my feet and their roughness, but NOT today! Oh well- whatever works to make these feet feel better I guess!
I also bought my PJ's to wear at the hospital. Yes mother, I NEEDED these as I don't have any SUMMER Pj's that button up the front for nursing purposes. The set I used for Jaylee were long sleeved and pants, so that won't cut it in 110 degree August heat! I guess now all that I lack is getting that bag packed for the hospital and put in my car just in case something happens while we are in Canadian and we aren't here to grab it and go!
So, all in all it was a very good, yet HOT day today! Jentri's things are slowly coming together! I finally bought her baby book today--- so proud of myself-- just will be even prouder if I can keep up with #2 like I did with Jaylee AND take pictures of her as well! That's a huge goal of mine as I myself came at a not so very good time in life and my baby pics are very limited as are details of my baby years!
