Okay so I do not freak out often or worry about much at all so the temporary 15 minutes of panic this afternoon was not a normal feeling for me! It started so innocently, I was going through a box of clothes that my wonderful Amanda gave to me. As I was going through it that's when the panic began..... Here's what was going through my head:
- Since it's summer does he just wear onsies? Or does he wear pajamas or do I need to buy him some of those fabulous Kissy Kissy outfits that can be a gown or pants? By the way if you have never felt Kissy Kissy baby clothes they ARE SO SOFT!!!! (Okay i'm regressing!)
- Will he wear newborn, 0-3, 3 months????? I DON'T KNOW!!! But I don't want to stuff his drawers full of stuff he either will be too big or too small for. B wore premie clothes and then it took forever to even get to newborn. Don't think he will be the same....
- Amanda has all these great swaddling things and I have NO IDEA how to use them! I didn't use them with B. WHY OH WHY don't they print the instructions on these things????!!!!! Am I supposed to be a swaddling mind reader???!!!
- BIBS: He now has a ton of them! Do babies wear bibs when their first born? If he is anything like B then I know I need a ton of burp cloths for all of the spit up but I can't remember the bib thing. Just thinking of spit up makes me want to spit up! I do not handle this well. If you have seen the movie Four Christmases this is exactly how I react to spit up!!!
- AGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! FREAK OUT!
Obviously I don't freak out about the normal things that most moms would but me being me I was literally over it in 15 minutes. Here's what I came up with:
- I will figure out the answer to this when he's born. I'm sure it will be pretty easy to know when he is too hot or too cold. And yes, I absolutely should buy him a few Kissy Kissy things. Every baby needs something soft to wear!
- I have separated out all the stuff up to 3 months. If he needs smaller things I will just go buy them and if he needs bigger things I will just dive back into the big box of stuff that Amanda gave me.
- I will ask Amanda to give me a demo of swaddling using one of Brexley's alligators when she comes for the baby shower in July. If I have Brexley watch she will probably remember even better then I do and it will also thrill her heart to be able to tell Mommy what to do!
- BIBS: Who cares!! If I need them I have them and if I don't I will sure need them later! As far as the spit up goes I will JUST HAVE TO DEAL with this when the time comes.....
- No longer freaking out. Life is back to normal. Well normal for our wonderful, crazy family anyway!!!!
By the way I can't even begin to tell you all the times that spell check had to fix how I had spelled swaddling. SAD!
