Anyway, it's getting close to crunch time and I have a pretty short list of things I still need to purchase. The items can be divided into three categories: Things I Will Be Definitely Be Using Right Away; Things I Must Have But Really, Really Hope I Don't Have To Use; Fun Stuff.
Here they are:
- trial-size toiletries for the hospital
- 2 boxes of nursing bra pads - that should last at least a month
- Vaseline and gauze - for post-circumcision care
- side-snap shirts - they make life a little easier when baby first comes home
- wipes - I have four packs set aside already, but I'm fairly confident they won't last through the first month
- All Free and Clear laundry detergent - and that's what I normally buy, but Andy got detergent last time and you can smell that stuff from a mile away :)
- Infant Tylenol
- Mylicon
- saline
- baby book - I already bought one, but when I look at how pitifully small it is next to Dominic and Clark's, I get major guilt pangs. So I'll be out looking for one comparable to theirs.
- fleece blanket - Both Dominic and Clark have one that's just theirs, so I feel the tradition needs to continue
Besides the shopping, all that's left to do is wash the baby's clothes and linens, finish packing for the hospital and getting out all the gear. I'm not sure how soon to put out the pack and play, swing, bouncy seat, etc. I'm 99.9% certain Dominic and Clark will be trying to sit and climb on it all. Perhaps I'll just let Andy handle that while I'm at the hospital.
