The baby is kicking

The baby is kicking. He kicks all the time. I can sit and watch his kicks and punches move across my stomach as he does his little exercises in by belly. He is already on a schedule. I feel him kick the most in the evening from 5-7 pm, then again around 10-11pm. He always moves around for a minute or two after I eat (which is all the time). And sometimes he wakes me up with his little powerhouse kicks. Yikes! If he is already waking me up, I cant wait to see what things will be like as he gets bigger and stronger. The other day I was supposed to go out and do something, but the baby was just being so active I couldn’t help myself. I canceled my appointment and sat on the couch with my shirt propped up watching my little bump move all around. The whole thing is pretty amazing.

The other day I went baby shopping for the first time. I started off with a lot of steam and quickly teetered out. As I walked up and down the aisles I became overwhelmed. There is soooo much stuff out there! How the heck do I know what a baby needs? I don’t know how many onsies a baby should have or what kind of booger picker is the best. I don’t know which bath time cradles will grow with my baby or what kind of diapering essentials a person needs! Ahhhhh! I ended up spending $200 on me instead. I may not know what a baby needs, but I know what ‘me’ needs. Needless to say any suggestions you have on a ‘to buy for baby’ list is welcome.

Since I need help, I brainstormed solutions. On a side note. We are having a baby shower in Oklahoma Saturday June 14th. The date was just solidified so be expecting your invitations in the mail in the next couple weeks. Back to my solution, I have decided to bring a lump sum of moola with me to the baby shower and all my friends who want to shop with me after the shower can go and pick out everything I need to properly care and maintain a baby for the first few months. They can pick it out. Whatever they say I need, I will pay for it. Anyone who has experience in this area, please, pleeeeaaasee put this on your calendars and plan to attend the shopping spree afterwards. I need all the help I can get!
