Monday is Brad's birthday, however, I have a SECRET 3D sonogram set up for Saturday that he has NO CLUE that we are going to. Since he doesn't read this blog I HOPE, I am going to post this :), DON'T TELL! :) I am doing this as his birthday present from "Brady"... He really wanted to schedule one for later on our last 3D in Sept., but I was like naaahhhhh it won't be any fun to see him that close to the due date, it will give away the surprise. AND YES RENEE I AM SUPER CHEATING THIS TIME LOL! Well Saturday morning I am going to give him this -

I looooove Willow Tree so much, and I thought this was great for him. I know that it's for a "new dad" which technically Brady isn't "here" yet, but I am putting a card with the gift stating- Surprise, Daddy gets to see Brady today, and that he (Brady) can't wait to see him too... then some lovey dovey stuff. I am going to put our appt. confirmation in the card as well..... By the way typing/ writing the word Daddy about made my goose pimples come out of my skin. It's weird!! Anyways, I hope that Brad finds it as sweet and heartfelt as I feel about it... :). Also that he is surprised as can be!!
I sterilized his bottles and paci's last night!! The more I do in regards to him the more it is real, and more real, and more real! His little piggies are wearing my belly out!! :) It's sooo tender.... We have a doctors appt. on Monday so we can find out more and see if we can maybe get something set in stone to get this party started :). I hope he isn't all smooshy face in the 3D sono... I have a feeling by feeling him that it is quite squishy in there! If I feel around on my belly with my hands on different sides I can definitely feel him.. I just don't know what and have to guess... maybe his bootie, maybe an arm??? A HEAD? lol... I don't know how everyone knows what they are feeling lol...
I bought my "nursing" gear yesterday and have a feeling that this could get quite entertaining when I am learning how it works.. Like for instance, let's say I don't have a nursing top on.. which I only ordered some tanks that I can wear under a shirt that I could then take that shirt off... how does that work? What if I don't have a tank on, do I strip down to my bra to nurse lol??? Or pull my shirt up so my muffin top is hangin' everywhere.. lol.. You can see where I am headed with this story. Very confusing!
Anyways, I am going to get back to work, hope everyone's week goes well!
I had a little bit of anxiety too about nursing at first, but what has become one of my must haves is my nursing cover. The one I got is Balboa (comes in diferent colors and prints) at Target. They are only available online. I think BabiesRus has them too. It is long enough so it covers your tummy and curves around to cover your sides too. If you pick a different brand just be sure to read the reviews b/c some are too short and won't cover completely. I use it all the time like while I am shopping in Target, if she gets hungry when we are at a restaurant, etc. I love it!!
