So it's almost March now meaning we have a little over a month until our due date. And for some odd reason Matthew is convinced this little one will be arriving early, but considering Natasha was a whole week overdue, I highly doubt that. But I suppose only time will tell. The baby's definitely growing and I think she has very very little room left to move around, so each kick and move are very strong and almost painful right now. She moves several times a day and has hiccups at least twice daily. Oh, and Matthew also thinks this baby will be much bigger than Natasha who was 7 lbs 11 oz - ask him why he thinks that! I think she'll be around the same measurements as her older sister.
Anyway, this baby's wardrobe is all stocked up. She already has a huge princess-like wardrobe and she's not even born yet. We're still missing a double-stroller and will be probably ordering it very shortly. We chose one from Graco that seems to fit our needs, and Natasha will also be getting a new light-weight stroller to serve her through the spring and summer months. The baby will be using her Perego Venezia once she's born. Sometime early in March, we'll be transferring the playpen/bassinet into our bedroom and turning it from the playpen to a bassinet. We want to do this early so that Natasha gets used to it being there and not be wondering later why her play area is now occupied by some little stranger.
It's funny to think back to Natasha's newborn days. Matthew and I both completely do not remember what it's like dealing with a newborn. What was she doing all day long? I can't remember. It's going to be interesting to be going through it all once again, and I'm sure it will come back to us once it actually happens.
