Quick update

Okay, so I still haven't had the baby yet, but don't worry, I still actually have 3 weeks left as of today. Devan and KeLeeMae were both 2 weeks early, so there is a good possibility that this one could be too. My birthday was last week and my husband's grandmother sent me $50. I decided to use it to buy things for the baby, because even though I've had 37 weeks to prepare, I haven't. I have so many things left over from when Devan & KeLee were babies, that I don't know what all I really need. I decided to buy a couple outfits for a boy & a couple for a girl, just so that the baby has something of his/her own to wear home from the hospital.

I ended up with 3 outfits for a boy, and 3 for a girl. I still have a few things on layaway, but I don't have to have them right now anyway. I also bought one package of newborn diapers, and a can of formula so that the baby has those for when he/she comes home. My mother-in-law bought me some new bottles. I searched through all of the bottles at WalMart, Target and K-Mart to find out which ones I wanted. I settled on the Evenflo Elan bottles. They are a little pricey (about $4/ bottle) but they seem really unique. They seemed to be the best out of the options I had to chose from.

I am planning to work for about another week, and then continue from home until I have the baby. At that time, I will take about 2 weeks off, and then continue working at home for the rest of August, at least. Because I chose not to find out if it is a boy or a girl, I chose not to have a baby shower. Therefore, I have decided to have a baby welcoming instead. My friends and family have all been upset at me for not finding out so that they could buy things for the baby, so I figured that if I waited until we knew for sure, that would smooth things out a bit. I don't know for sure when I will have it, because I have to have surgery about 6 weeks after the baby is born, to repair a hernia. I am hoping that my mom can come up to help with the kids while I recover. It should be sometime in late August, or early September. So I'll probably have the welcoming party earlier rather than later.

Anyway, I will try to let everyone know when the baby gets here. I am still looking for a boy's name. Anyone that has a suggestion, please let me know.

Thanks!
