Nesting

Sa 9.28.13...kinda forgot to post this a few weeks ago (baby brain)
  • so...maybe we started "nesting" a bit early...somewhere around the 32/33 week mark
  • it just felt good to have some of those little things in place...like the clothes and blankets, washed and folded
aftermath of unpacking the suitcase from the States
  • and the crib (borrowed from a work friend - thanks Marina!)
  • and the changing table (donated to us by a student's mother - thanks Parvati!) 

  • and practicing with the moby wrap
I had Jake practice with it too...that's a towel in place of a newborn..hehe
  • and setting up the "nursery" aka our bedroom
  • and sterilizing the bottles/pump parts

  • and buying diapers and wipes
Isn't that the cutest/funniest bib?  Thanks Lauren!
  • feeling a bit more ready for ya baby! wonder when you'll be joining us...? :)
32 weeks, 6 days
  • we're so fortunate to know kind, generous people here willing to help us out for the 3 months our baby will be living in BA...we didn't want to buy a lot of things here to bring back, and also didn't want to haul items back and forth from the US, so luckily, we've been able to borrow things like the crib, a baby bath, sheets (thanks Alex!), a stroller and carseat, pack-n-play (thanks Gloria!) etc. 
  • thank you to everyone who has been so kind and helpful
  • and thanks mom for bringing the rest (she's even willing to sacrifice packing clothes for her trip to bring me unnecessary non-baby items like peanut butter and whole wheat tortilla shells...such a great mama!)
