Only 3.5 weeks until my due date (April 16). I can tell it's starting to get a little crowded in the ol' womb, because baby hasn't been able to kick as much, but is mainly squirming around. Baby's still head down, and so far everything is right on schedule and doing just fine.
I had two baby showers last week - one at work and one at a friend's. My coworkers banded together to give us eight weeks of diaper service. Now I just need to buy some cute cloth diaper covers - we only have one that's infant sized. We're pretty much all set on clothes for the 3-6 month stage, but still need to buy some onesies and things for the newborn. For furniture, we now have a bassinet (an Arm's Reach co-sleeper), a dresser (already full of tiny clothes), and a bouncy seat (that attaches to a door jamb and hangs from a spring). We also have a car seat and a light stroller. Our next big purchases will be a jogging stroller (perhaps the Chariot Cougar One, which converts from a jogging stroller to a bike trailer to a cross-country ski sled), and a backpack for taking long hikes with the baby.
It's amazing how much stuff you "need" (or think you need) for such a tiny, helpless little pink thing.
