Progress.

I keep having break-downs night after night about how I'm no where near being ready for this baby to be born. Seriously, I may have been a little crazy when I was pregnant with Jaxon having my bags packed, nursery complete, 700 diapers ready to be peed/pooped on, etc at like 32 weeks. So imagine my panic when I'm 34 weeks pregnant and do not have any of the above completed, and much less actually.

Here's my list of to-do's:
  • Sort through Jaxon's old newborn/0-3 month clothes, cry because half of them are fleece and it will be 70+ degrees when this baby comes, and put them away.
  • Buy a dresser, to put the above mentioned clothes away.
  • Buy short sleeved clothes / light fabric long sleeves {newborn and 0-3 months} to replace the above mentioned fleece clothes that he won't be able to wear. {thanks, texas!}
  • Get out the "baby stuff" and put it all away / set it up. {Boppy, baby tub, swing, bouncer, etc.}
  • Buy newborn diapers. Buy any diapers. Just buy diapers. {this one seriously put me in a panic a couple weeks ago when I realized I haven't bought a.n.y.}
  • Buy a baby book. Easy enough, you would think, but I can't find any. Any.
  • Buy month to month stickers, to take pics on each "month birthday"
  • Buy a co-sleeper.
  • Buy a diaper bag.
  • Buy crib bedding. {Jaxon will use his crib bedding on his new toddler bed, once he moves to his toddler bed, that is.}
See, doesn't that list make you want to cry? Okay, maybe that's my hormones. But it does make me cry. Quite frequently actually.

One night Tyler said "just start buying the stuff. What are you waiting for? You keep crying about it but you're not doing anything about it."

Smart man, he is.

So here's the same list, more up to date, now that I've made some progress.
  • Sort through Jaxon's old newborn/0-3 month clothes, cry because half of them are fleece and it will be 70+ degrees when this baby comes, and put them away.
  • Buy a dresser, to put the above mentioned clothes away.
  • Buy short sleeved clothes / light fabric long sleeves {newborn and 0-3 months} to replace the above mentioned fleece clothes that he won't be able to wear. {thanks, texas!}
  • Get out the "baby stuff" and put it all away / set it up. {Boppy, baby tub, swing, bouncer, etc.}
  • Buy newborn diapers. Buy any diapers. Just buy diapers. {this one seriously put me in a panic a couple weeks ago when I realized I haven't bought a.n.y.}
  • Buy a baby book. Easy enough, you would think, but I can't find any. Any. Thanks Nana!
  • Buy month to month stickers, to take pics on each "month birthday"
  • Buy a co-sleeper.
  • Buy a diaper bag.
  • Buy crib bedding. {Jaxon will use his crib bedding on his new toddler bed, once he moves to his toddler bed, that is.}
For what it's worth I looked at buying diapers while I was at Sam's the other day, but they don't carry newborn diapers. C'mon Sams, get it together. You're on my nerves.

Okay, I've crossed 5 things off my list. But it's progress, people. One day at a time. And somehow, I'm confident it'll all work out ... somehow.
