Babies are expensive!

Getting way dang close now......

Nick and I are almost completely outfitted for Tristan.  Of course, I'm sure we are going to realize how many silly but important things we are missing those first few days and still make many trips to the store, but I think we've done pretty well.  We went a little nuts and bought everything!

Then we were so excited, we stayed up late and put it all together.  There's this odd appendage to our bedroom that ends in a door that has been completely sealed off.  I'm assuming it used to be an entryway of some kind, but I decided it was perfect for a little baby area.  So we've got the basinet, rocker, carseat, bouncer and bags and bags of miscellaneous items stacked there.

And thank heavens for random people at Target!  We're looking through the baby stuff, and I see the swaddle suits, and say outloud to Nick, "I wonder if those actually work."  And the lady standing there holding one says, "Oh i love them!  they were great!  But they make my babies too hot in the summer because they are fleecy, so these might be better for you," and shows us the swaddle blankets.  I have to exercise self controll though, it's hard to see dang cute little boy outfits and not buy them!  It's pretty funny, when I was making my original list, it was at the end of the day at work, and I was telling my coworker about it, saying "oh, I need to buy tylenol, and mylecon, and diapers and a bulb syringe and a breast pump....." and she laughed and went, "oh you silly MA, most people are like, I have to buy outfits and blankets and toys!"

It's also nice that I finally have a belly and don't look weird shopping around the baby section.  In scrubs though, my patients still seem to have trouble telling, so it still gets awkward sometimes.  Maybe, I'll go early and put a stop to the weird questions.  We drove home from the temple down University Avenue yesterday, and it was like "kathunk kathunk kathunk kathunk" the whole way cuz of those stupid concrete slabs they decided to make the road out of.  All I have to do is drive up and down that incessantly and I'm set!  Naw, I'll keep him for a few more weeks!

Another random thought, when we went to the Timpanogos Temple yesterday we did sealings and the sealer was our sealer!  It was super awesome, until I got all faint and had to use the pregnancy card for the first time ever.  But! I'm almost done!  Whoopee!
