We had a busy weekend getting ready for baby. The midwife told me that because of the GD the doctors want the baby coming between 37-39 weeks, although no real discussion of induction have been started. I am taking Evening Primrose Oil right now which helps to soften your cervix and promote labor to begin. So Scott and I said that we had better get a move on and get ready for our little bundle of joy.
(I started 35 weeks on Saturday.)
The furniture was delivered on Friday afternoon and Scott spend some of Saturday night putting the crib together.
Here is the changing table (notice the little basket on top which was a gift from Claud. I used it for clean baby clothes.)
Amoire
Saturday morning Scott put together our Graco Metrolite stroller (the snugride fits into it, as most of you know) I think it is funny how much smaller the stroller looks next to Scott. It came with a matching diaper bag too.
I did 4 loads of baby laundry this weekend and lined all the drawers so today is put away day. There was just soooo many little tiny things

Then yesterday I went to BBB to spend a gift certificate that I got at my shower. I bascially used to it to pick up lots of 'little' things such as a waterproof pad, sheet savers, a little blanket, a bundle me up, a book, stuff like that. It was really fun to shop for that stuff.
Now for the weird experience of Friday. While in Michael's getting supplies for the recipe card swap I started to have a leg nerve 'attack' (that is the only word I know to descibe what happens). It hurts to the point of me wanting to lay in the aisle, but I don't. Anyway I was, of course, near the back of the store, so out of NO WHERE and without prior thought I said 'Molly, let's just get up to the front of the store and we can sit on one of the benches for a few minutes to ease this up'

I even shocked myself. Molly? I have never called the baby Molly before. I mean, I liked the name but it wasn't even on our list and I almost never use a girl's name or even 'she' to reference the baby. So if I have a girl her name will now be Molly Eva. My grandmother was Mary so Molly is very close to that and it would be in honor of her and my other grandmother Eva (again, as many of your know) Scott and I both agreed. I mean, why would I just come out and say that?
So that is my little recap!!
