Last week my son and I made some cookies for my grandmother. We had a great time doing it. He is acutally a pretty good helper in the kitchen. It's actually easier for me to have him in there with me than to wonder where or what he is doing elsewhere in the house. We talk about the ingredients, and I know you all might think I'm crazy but I let him help crack eggs too. It's just fun. I try to imagine how much fun it would be too feel so helpful to my mommy if I was 3 yrs old too. That helps me put things into perpective. :-)
Anyway, after that cooking episode went so well, I decided to make dinner by myself last week as well. It was great! I truly LOVE to cook and haven't been able to for so long. I guess maybe I'm tired of sitting on my rump (which by the way seems to widening with each passing day). So I have been getting up and helping a little more in the kitchen and it has brightened my spirits immensely!
Last saturday I was feeling well enough to try to make a shopping trip. My dearest hubby drove me to the craft store. Now that's love my friends. He even walked around with me and we had our 3 yr old son with us as well. Hubby was so patient with me and helped me pick out jsut the right crafts and colors. I have picked jsut a couple of crafts that I know I can finish by christmas. Not too many like past years. :-) I am totally feeling just so home-y.
So back to my nesting. It may be a little early to be feeling like I need to have everything ready for baby. I even made a list of everything that I need to bring to the hospital with me. I have been shopping for nursing clothing online. I even decided to make a shopping trip this morning to the outlets shops with my son. We went to Carters and Motherhood Maternity and of course they put the chocolate store right beside the maternity clothes store. Mmm, somebody thought that one through. :-) I bought a few items for the baby and jammies for my son and jammies for me to wear at the hospital. You have to check out this outfit I bought to bring home my son from the hospital in. Isn't it the cutest thing ever?!I have also picked out the bassinet that I absolutely love. I have researched them for about 2 months now, ever since we knew that the baby would be sharing a room with us. You have to check out this bassinet
Isn't that the cutest thing ever? For those that cannot click on the link, it is Winnie the Pooh, and has blue and white checked fabric, and comes with a cute Winnie the Pooh and bees mobile. This bassinet has a light on it and has many different songs that it plays and also has the vibration installed. I hope that this will fulfill all ours and baby's needs. :-)
Well I am getting long winded so I will go for now. I am looking forward to seeing my dr again tomorrow. I have many questions to ask and am waiting impatiently to hear what he thinks about my weight gain. (Eeeek, I will fill you all in on the results later) So I will write after my appt and fill you all in on, hopefully, some encouraging news regarding my placenta and it's placement. :-) Blessings to all! :-)

Jennifer,
That bassinet is so cute! It looks like a multi-function one as well. Have you bought it yet? If not, can I pitch in some money to help you guys buy it?
The outfit for "the boy" is really cute; I miss little baby clothes. I am so proud of you for being able to move around and feel needed. Good for you and Josiah for being able to cook together. I used to (and still do) let the girls help me cook. It is so important to kids to feel helpful and needed and they learn so much. I bet Josiah will retain much of what he is learning from you with the day to day life lessons. Good luck at the doctor.
Keep you spirits high and soar!
Love,
Amy
The bassinet is adorable. I can't remember exactly when you're due, but is it soon?
Hope things go well at your Dr visit!
:)
