Nursery progress: My sis-in-law has really helped me get organized this past week. She bought me some baskets and bins. I got all of her clothes washed and organized. We still need to hang the mirror and pictures on the walls. I need to wash the cloth diapers and sterilize the bottle stuff. I started packing the diaper bag, but still need to pack our bags. Also, need to put in the car seat.
Weekly wisdom: Talk to your doctor about insecurities that you have. I have been feeling insecure about my baby being small or not getting enough nutrients because of some comments I have gotten from people when they compare me to other pregnant women. Anyways, I feel much better after talking with him. He told me that I have always measured on or ahead and how you show tells nothing of how big or small your baby will be. He said alot has to do with your muscles and how weak or strong they are, your starting weight and your build/frame. And he said, "you don't want a huge baby anyways, do you?" I guess I have just been feeling like my baby needs to be big to be healthy for some reason. In the end I just want a healthy baby. After having an unhealthy baby, I have been insecure at times wondering if our little girl will be healthy. He said to take these comments as compliments. All you pregnant women know how annoying people's comments can be sometimes though!! Oh, hormones ;)
