Let The Games Begin

Let the games begin! lol

I have been on a cleaning frenzy the last two weeks (still a work in progress! lol) and now I am on a sterilizing binge.

Today I sterilized all the parts to my breast pump, all my bottles, milk storage containers and my baby bath tub.

I kept everything from when we had Nya as we knew we wanted more children one day :) It sure pays off too keep your children's things because it has saved us a ton of money not having to go out and rebuy everything. Plus, the things you don't need anymore, you can bless someone else with.

I have a few friends who are also pregnant right now that I have been able to share and give things too. There is no better feeling than to bless and see someone else blessed by something you can pass along.

Now, there are still some things we need to buy, but at least we have the necessities which is the most important, and usually the most expensive.

Right now I have all of Nya's old baby clothes sorted and organized and awaiting washing. I am not going to wash her newborn to 3 month clothes until next month once we move the crib set into the nursery. Once that is done, I can wash everything and load it into her drawers and closet :) I'm very excited about that!

Speaking of the nursery, tonight Dennard, Nya and myself are going to look for a white shag area rug for Sweet Pea's room. I've never been a fan of shag carpets, but I saw a really gorgeous, low shag, almost silk like texture the other day. I want to investigate the price and have Dennard give his input.

To date I've washed my breast feeding pillow cover and my nursing cover. I've also washed all the bassinet sheets, crib sheets, baby face cloths and baby bath towels. They are currently folded and put away in Sweet Pea's closet. Sometimes I find myself going into the nursery and just looking in the closet admiring all the little things stored away for Sweet Pea. lol I'll move something more to the left, then to the right and think 'Ahhh! Just right! Perfect!'. lol

It's such an exciting time in life and to be privileged to do it all again a second time is a blessing!!
I don't take the gift of my children for granted.

A few weeks ago I saw my Dr for my regular prenatal appointment. She forwarded my medical form to the hospital I plan to deliver at; Credit Valley. I swear by this hospital! I have nothing but amazing things to say about this hospital with regards to the Dr's, the staff, the rooms, the care and treatment of myself and Nya. I am currently awaiting a call from the hospital in hopes of getting in to see an OB soon. Once the hospital calls me, I will no longer be seeing my family Dr for the duration of my pregnancy, rather, I'll be seeing a team of OB's that work out of Credit Valley Hospital until I deliver.

I have only 4 short months left to go :( Time is going by too fast!!!!
Sometimes I wish I could push the 'pause' button in life and cherish moments like these a little longer.
