34 weeks and baby stuff

So Chad and I did a count the other night, and over the next two months, 7 babies will be born in our ward. 7! Plus two that were just born in the last month. Technically, one of those seven just moved out of the ward, but I think he still counts.

A little late, but here's what's going on:

According to babycenter, he's bulking up and his lungs are well developed. Woohoo!

When he wiggles around, my stomach changes shape pretty drastically. It's neat :) I was up eating cereal at 1am the other morning and I had my hand on my stomach (it's kind of a reflex when he's moving around). Normally I can just feel bumps and stuff poking out and shifting around, but that time I felt a whole leg! It was amazing! Part of his leg anyway. It's hard to describe, but I was definitely feeling a limb and not just an ambiguous bump. So cool.

He's a lot more interactive now too. A lot of the time if I poke my stomach he'll poke back. Or if I start rubbing a place he'll start pushing against where I'm rubbing. I try that a lot when he pressing against my belly button or just down the middle of my stomach, which is definitely painful. If I try rubbing somewhere else, he'll usually move over and start pushing there instead. That all means that Chad can play with him now too. He loves that :)

My sister sent me an awesome box the other day! Its contents: 4 crib sheets that she made (my sister's a sewing wizard), a Snugli, an Avent breast pump and bottles and everything, and a ton more baby clothes. We also finally got a crib and set it up! The first one we bought we had to return because one of the legs wouldn't fit on (can't remember if mentioned that on here already). This one we found on Amazon for about $20 cheaper than what BabiesRus was selling it for. And then Amazon ran out of them a couple days later. Way good timing.

Here're some pics of all our stuff.

The crib!

Our huge stockpile of clothes (which about tripled when my sister sent her last box :)

 So cute, huh?!

Sheet number 4:

Awesome little hat Erin made (which we think is adorable and way cool):

So yep, that's where we stand with baby stuff at the mo'. Thanks to my awesome sister. Soooo much of what we needed came from her. Because she rocks that way. We've also got a couple really cute blankets, but I forgot to take pictures of those. Sorry Mom (who sent me my baby blanket that she crocheted way back when), Lindsay (who crocheted E a really pretty brand new one), and Mom Jones (who sent the one she made for baby Chad). Neat huh? :) Next time. 

Have a great day!
