Saturday- I was a tad bit down. Ok...really down. Some days it's really upsetting to not be able to do all that I'm used to and to feel so huge. All that on top of having to watch everything I eat and everything I do so that I don't have blood sugar problems or go into early labor. Paul took me out to a nice dinner at our favorite steakhouse here. I was able to eat my favorite diabetes friendly meal and enjoy what I was eating for once. I get so sick of eating the same thing over and over, so I'm going to make it my mission to find some other meal plans for these next 2 weeks. After dinner, Paul took me to Target..my favorite store. I did a tiny bit of couponing, which included buying 2 things of hair color, 1 with a $2 off coupon...and the second one gave me a $5 target gift card. So it basically ended up being buy 2 for the price of 1. I then went to the baby section and got another pack of newborn diapers since we only had 1. I wasn't really expecting to have a baby early, but since I am...I want to be prepared with newborn diapers. I also got some hospital pacifiers. Fun stuff! When we got home, I was able to color my hair and do a little bit of self pampering...on top of getting laundry done. Feeling much better!!
Sunday (today)- I relaxed and printed off coupons until Paul got up. We decided later to go to Which Wich (an amazing sandwich shop here) where I thoroughly enjoyed eating something other than "the usual." I had the idea to go to Carter's babies and kids afterwards. When Paul walked in with me, he realized we didn't have any newborn clothes. He decided we really needed to get her a small newborn wardrobe until she grows into the bigger stuff. The store was having a big sale and was also doing a 10% military discount for memorial day weekend. Let me tell you...it was SO weird to see Paul SO actively looking for our daughter some clothes. Even after I said I thought we had enough, he was wanting to pick more out...and who was I to say no? Take advantage of his desire to buy baby clothes!!! He picked out some cute stuff and we ended up getting about 14 outfits (some onesies, some 3 piece sets etc) for $60. It was decent for Carter's! Now our baby will be well-dressed no matter what size she is when she's born :-) I'm excited. When we got home, we both worked together and cleaned the inside of my car...wiping and cleaning everything. Getting it ready to put the carseat in.
That about sums up all the baby preparations at the moment. I plan on getting other things ready, slowly but surely. SO EXCITED!!
