I’ve skipped a few pregnancy related posts for Thanksgiving week, but I’ll have more to share on Thursday for the Week 25 update.
Although I haven’t updated much here, I have been busy making decisions on many big things hanging over our heads. I am very happy with our decisions, and also happy that there are still no baby items in our house. Not ready for it yet!
Here are a few decisions we’ve made over the last few weeks:
- Picked a hospital to deliver at and registered for classes in late January and early February.
- Ordered a crib and bedding. I will be using bumpers, even if I take them off for a few months and put them back on.
- Created a registry.
- Picked a car seat to register for.
- Ordered a rocking chair (takes the cake for most expensive item in the nursery! Hope it’s worth it.)
- Picked out a dresser but haven’t ordered it yet, it has a short order period.
- Finished reading On Becoming Babywise and understand the theory as well as I can for now.
- Picked a pediatrician practice.
Many of these items had a lot of back and forth, and I spent a lot of time researching and asking questions. I’m vague on many of them because it’s a lot of personal preference, but happy to answer questions if you’re curious.
Back tomorrow with the first cookie recipe of the holiday season!
Congrats on crossing off items from the to-do list! I’m sure getting baby ready is a daunting task. Curious which pediatric practice you chose… My stepmom’s a pediatrician in Houston.
we will most likely go with a doctor at TCPA on Greenbriar/59. Where is she?
