they also informed me that they'd be checking for group b strep. how had i managed to forget about that? oh yeah....the pregnant brain forgets everything. if i'd remembered this detail, i would have bothered to shave my legs (a monumental task at this point) and NOT worn black socks. now that i'll be going every week, i plan on being prepared - cute socks and all.
i continue to nest. i don't have an actual list (my husband has asked for one) - it's all in my head. again, a dangerous place for a list to be, with the forgetful pregnant mind and all.
today, i came home from shopping and decided to dig through the garage and locate james' old baby things. i found them immediately, thanks to my wonderful hubby who has been trying to make the garage a more functional (clean & organized) space. it was so much fun, seeing james' old baby clothes, blankets, shoes, itty bitty socks.... my heart was all a-flutter with anticipation. i'm getting excited!!
i love being able to reuse james' baby clothes. james was such a huge baby - he fit them for about two seconds - so everything is in brand new condition. right now, i am washing everything with dreft, my favorite baby detergent. the smell brings back all kinds of wonderful baby memories. i have two loads of blankets and clothes (0-6 months). that should fill the dresser nicely.
speaking of the dresser, this past weekend i went to IKEA (love that place!!) and bought the same dresser james has. when the boys eventually share a room, their dressers will match - yay! jim, being the awesome husband he is, went right to work on putting it together. he did some heavy lifting/moving for me and now jackson's room is just about ready.
i'm feeling more prepared for jackson's arrival, which is a big deal to me. still, i have "to-do's" on the brain...
- plan meals ahead of time
- finish (er...start) jackson's quilt
- arrange for help when we go to the hospital
- get new video camera battery
- make sure camera stays on the charger
- buy myself new pajamas (my personal tradition, when having a baby)
- clean minivan, inside and out
- continue to stay on top of laundry, housework, etc.
- i know i'm forgetting something...

Man, I would love to look like you when I'm pregnant. You are so cute. I was just talking to Jenna the other day about who we think Jackson will look like. I'm very curious. We're so excited for you!
