Last week we had exactly two months left until Baby Rez’s due date.
I thought at three months, I would feel like the due date is right around the corner, but it was actually the two month mark that sent me and Dave into major prep mode.
Along with this milestone came swelling in my ankles (not painful, but funny looking), and a really annoying muscle spasm as Baby Rez is growing bigger and heavier and moving lower. The doctor assured us it was nothing to worry about, but Dave decided it was time to install the car seat “just in case” and make sure we had everything in the “go bag.”
I’ve been trying to clean and get organized, and while we had a lot of the big ticket items, we held off on buying things like clothes because we knew we would get a lot of that as gifts. The baby shower was planned at the perfect time and all the wonderful gifts we’ve received from friends and family have helped us feel better prepared.
Blair and Bella planned an amazing double shower for Baby Rez and Baby Tohmc (Beep) with double the friends and double the fun! There were silly games, delicious food (provided by my mom), LOTS of friends and family and LOTS of amazing presents to open. Dave and I drove home with a car full of adorable baby clothes, books, blankets, and other baby essentials. We feel incredibly grateful for our friends and family, and can’t wait for everyone to meet the new babies.
