Stuff for me and Blasty

A week ago I read that I should be able to feel Blasty moving by now, but I couldn't (I thought maybe once or twice, but could have been gas!) and everyone has been asking me for what seems like months if I can feel the baby move.

In the last 3 or 4 days, though, Blasty has been flipping right out. Blasty is doing Blastoflips.

At lunch I took off to the Eaton Centre and bought $235 worth of maternity clothes from H&M and Old Navy. I am sooo relieved. I now have 3 pairs of pants I can wear to work and 5 tops (one of which I shouldn't have bought cuz I can only wear it with jeans, but it was cool). Yay.

Now I need to start a list of stuff I need for Blasty. I haven't taken inventory of all Leanne's stuff, but I know that there are some things I definitely need. Might as well start now.

1. cloth diapers (4 dozen in total - Len has 2 doz?)
2. diaper covers (4-6)
3. jolly jumper
4. car seat?
5. baby bjorn
6. stroller
7. diaper bag
8. changing pads?
9. onesies
10. sleepers
11. fitted crib sheets
12. breast pump
13. bottles
14. nursing bra, pads
15. intercom
16. swing
17. high chair?

Meet Blasty

On May 11, I diagnosed myself with a blastocyst.

Blasty has since developed far past the blastocyst stage, and is now a full blown fetus.
By some reliable accounts (and ultrasounds...), Blasty is over 10 inches long. We find that hard to believe, but I guess they crumple themselves up pretty good. Brings new meaning to the term fetal position. Well, actually not at all.

I am:

• surpised that I didn't experience any morning sickness, which was pretty lucky. Everything usually makes me feel like crap.
  
  
• not excercising enough or eating enough vegetables lately, although I am trying to get back on track.
  
  
• kind of avoiding friend get togethers, since I find it kind of annoying sitting there watching them all drink. Miss wine terribly. I also hate talking about my pregnancy with most people. I only feel comfortable talking about it with a couple of friends.
  
  
• exasperated that the baby room is still a heap of laundry. Plans to make it a nursery are sort of starting to take shape. It's just a matter of getting off my ass and making things happen. Not really my forté lately.
  
  
• feaked out, defensive, feeling unattractive, and a little bit excited.
  

Blasty is due on Friday, January 13. But as everyone has advised me, "it won't actually happen that day, you know". Everyone knows everything about my pregnancy. Everyone is sooo awesome.
