Midwife Appointment

I saw my midwife this afternoon. I always enjoy visiting with her; she tells the best stories!

Anyway, all is well with Jack. Fundus is measuring 32-33 weeks (I'm technically 29 weeks now) and she said Jack "feels" like he is sitting around 4 pounds at the moment. This completely jives with what my last two ultrasounds have said and has led my midwife to begin questioning my due date. I'm very hesitant to move it (after all, what if he really is just big?), but she wants to shift it from March 14 to February 28. That's a pretty big jump! I don't think it would freak me out nearly as much if it didn't mean A) I'm practically having a baby NEXT MONTH and B) I have much less time to get stuff together.

*panic, panic, panic*

I may or may not have mentioned before that we got rid of everything of Spencer's except his crib (which we aren't planning on using) and highchair. Well, I say we, but I wasn't the one hauling all of those Gymboree and Baby Gap clothes to the curb on trash day. *weeps* It was part of what I call Jake's "post Iraq crazy," so I forgive him and all, but seriously, now we have nothing!

I have been picking up clothes here and there as I'm out and see something adorable or for a good deal. I totally racked up at the Carter's outlet in Branson last week. And of course I'm working on Jack's diaper stash since we're using cloth. (His clothes and diapers are taking over our linen closet, BTW, so if you know someone giving away a dresser or if you know of somewhere to get one of good quality for cheap, let me know!) But as far as baby gadgets? We're SOL at the moment.

Of course, it isn't as if we NEED those. We bought a car seat at Babies 'R Us a few weeks ago and my boobs will be ready to go when the time comes, so really the bare bones necessities are taken care of. If all else fails, we'll wrap him in some of Jake's t-shirts until we get to the store to buy the poor kid some clothes that fit. ;-) At least he'll be fed and able to travel by car.
