shopping for baby

Posts, ,

I have started to buy a few things for the baby. First board books and then last weekend I picked up a few items of clothing at the local children’s consignment shop (great for maternity clothes too!) Traveling to LA in a couple weeks to visit family and they will be throwing us a baby shower. At only five months along, and only two days after out first ultrasound, we decided to go with gift cards/credits to the places we will shop. We decided early on to use Tiny Tots diaper service and they have a lovely store for registry as well. It will be nice if we receive credit to the diaper service!

Its hard not to pick out everything that I want and get it now. However we have a small cottage and do not yet have room to bring in all of the baby’s new stuff yet. Looking into storage solutions, cleaning out everything and honing in on the things that we will really need for baby. Picked out a crib at Ikea last weekend and the only other big furniture item we would like is a rocking chair. Need to start combing craigslist!

The one thing that I am set on getting is a summer blanket and/or quilt from Muny. Gosh I love their products so very much. ^_^

weekends

My second trimester has been so much easier. I am happy not only to feel much better overall but to not be so tired all the time. I have actually been able to do fun things on the weekends again! I have been going on fun excursions and enjoying myself very much. I still tire much faster but at least I can keep up. Lately I have gone to the Japanese Tea Garden, shopping on Haight Street, Berkeley walks in the hills, Indian Rock Park, Perish Trust to try on Warby Parkers, and eating out at really fabulous restaurants.

Sorry to be away for so long. I am pregnant and with that comes more sickness than I ever imagined possible! And I’ve been profoundly tired! But yay I am actually pregnant. ^_^ Some days its hard to believe, but my lovely partner maiki and I are over the moon about it. Three months along according to guesstimates. Also, I have started posting a little bit over at a blog that maiki and I share: its called Our Life, Uncomplicated.
