Well, we are moving over the weekend! I can't believe I am doing this while 6 months pregnant but hey its better than 7 or 8 months..even 9 although I would never go there. We have rented a beautiful upper level of a house in Upper Lonsdale in North Vancouver. There is a nice yard for Julia, a deck for a bbq and lounging, 3 nice sized bedrooms on the upper level and a nice sized bathroom. The kitchen is nice and cozy and then we have a dining room and living room. I love that it has hardwood floors and has a cute character about it. To top it off the house is on a beautiful, quiet street and has a school with playground, etc. close by.
The baby is going to have a room! Hurray! I can't wait to start getting it organized and ready. I was trying to figure out what we need in my head but it will probably help to write it down, so here goes...
- Car Seat
- Double stroller (really like the Phil and Teds Dash)
- Baby bath tub
- Receiving blankets (have some from Julia but will definitely make some more)
- Bassinet bedding (going to sew with my Grandma with chenille dot fabric!)
- Crib bedding, I am thinking of one nice home-made crib blanket (likely going to make one for a boy and one for a girl)
- Burp Cloths
- Baby hangers
- Baby clothes but will wait until after baby is born to start buying
- Area rug for room
- Newborn diapers
- More washcloths
- Little hats for both boy/girl
- Pack of white onesies size newborn
- One boy sleeper, one girl sleeper
- "Going home outfit" for girl and boy
- Dye-free, scent-free laundry detergent
- Crib sheets
- Soothers
...I know there is much more but I am drawing blanks.
We already have:
- Bassinet
- Crib
- Change table
- Swing
- Bouncy Chair
- Bumbo
- Cuddly Wrap
- Ergo carrier w/infant insert
- Nursing pillow
- Sheep skin
- Cuddle bag for Car Seat
- Diaper Genie and refills
- Glider and Ottoman
- Portable changing mat
- Diaper Bag
- All the baby girl clothes we need if we have another girl!
Ok I'm hurting my brain here! I'm sure there are many details I've forgotten that I don't need to think of right this moment. In any case, we are slowly getting there and I'm excited!
Happy moving to us, and hopefully I don't want to kill myself by the end of this. Just taking it as slow as can be and being optimistic :)
