Pearls of Wisdom??

I was putting off doing a blog post until Sunday, but decided to go ahead and blog now instead. Why, Sunday? some may ask. Well Sunday is October 4th and would be the 2 month until the due date marker. 2 months!! A part of me is in disbelief and another part of me is so excited and can't wait. I am nesting in my own sort of way. Not in the way I feel the house needs disinfected from top to bottom and so on. I've worked with kids long enough to know that too much disinfecting just breeds super bugs! I'm more the type who wants to paint every wall in my house. Luckily purchasing paint is not in the budget for every room in the house. I have sorted through baby clothes that have been so generously passed down over and over and cannot wait to put them in drawers and hang them on hangers.

I'm wishing I hadn't so absently passed on all of the pregnancy books. I guess it's normal to second guess yourself?? I really just want to get a heads up on a couple things. You know, skip to the back of the book or read the cliff notes. Hmmm...do they make cliff notes for pregnancy books?? I've gotten good advice or tidbits from mom's that I intend to follow through with. My sister-in-law said to always have two diaper bags fully packed and ready to go at all times. Another friend suggested an emergency tote to be placed in both cars full of extras that one doesn't always think of. Extra sippy cups/bottles, diapers, wipes, clothes for both child and parents, well anything one could think of that even when packed in the diaper bag I just might need more of. Now it's your turn to pass on your "Pearls of Wisdom." I look forward to reading them whether they be a polished shiny pearl or a dirty yet to be cleaned or tested pearl.
