Why is that important you ask?? By the end of this month little baby Wyatt will be a part of the world :) His scheduled c-section is the 29th, but that is week 40 and normally the scheduled c-section is a week before the real due date, so she may end up going early which is just fine by me. I can't wait!!
Life has been exceedingly busy on the non-baby front and the baby front has been a little low key. I realized yesterday that this weekend is that first weekend that I have been at home and not on call since Labor Day. No wonder I feel like I'm getting behind with things! The good news is that I think I have a good job secured which is a MASSIVE stress that's gone. I don't have a contract yet because some things needed adjusting and a few added. Hopefully that comes soon and it is all locked in.
On the baby front we have all our shopping done, or at least I think we have all our shopping done. I went out this morning with a great friend of mine and got what I call the "boring stuff". Diaper (494 of them!), wipes (700!!), bottles, a bottle cleaning brush, formula, and a travel bassinet. The travelling bassinet is our solution to my concerns over where he will sleep once we take him to the hotel from the hospital. I don't want to lug our bassinet in case it got broken or lost, plus it is big and would cost a lot. I also don't want to use a used crib from the hotel. I had seen a little sleeper box that is used to allow the baby to sleep on the bed between the hubby and wife without the rick of getting rolled on. I didn't want to use that at home because the risk is too high that the dog or a cat might not care and lay on him. The ones I saw at Toys R Us were $70 and I didn't really want to spend that on something we will use for a week. At Wal-Mart they had a travelling bassinet that can be used on the floor or on the bed and is made to the safety standards of regular size bassinets. This way he can sleep in that on the bed in the hotel and be nice and safe :)
I do have a problem though that I need some advice on and will post to facebook as well. I have the bottles (went with the drop in playtex ones so that I don't have to worry about sanitation as much at day care and know they have a brand new liner each time) and formula that I will take with me of course. While at the hospital or in the hotel it won't be much of a concern because we will use distilled water and be able to warm it up. My concern is what on earth to do at the airport when we need a new bottle to feed him and all we have is bathroom water (ick!!) or bottled water that will be nice and refreshingly cold for anyone but a baby?? What water supply could we use?? Suggestions please!!!!!
I bet Starbucks or the like would microwave some bottled water for you. Especially if you bought the water from them.
