It’s January, I’m in Week 26, and I’ve got less than 100 days left before Kumquat arrives. All of a sudden I feel like there are things that I should be doing or should have done already. Meanwhile, I’m stuck because I’m feeling a bit clueless. Should I be signing up for classes? What if I wait too long and they’re all filled up?

It’s also time to build our gift registry but I really don’t know what we REALLY need on top of some generous hand-me-downs and gifts we’ve already received. How many newborn diapers do I need before they grow out of them? Will I need THAT many onesies and burp cloths as they say on some of the websites I’ve been reading? And where am I going to put it all?! I barely have room for the baby! *sigh*

Perhaps it’s time to visit my local Babies R Us for a little tutorial on the difference between a receiving blanket and a wearable blanket. Perhaps we don’t need anything at all and should just put the kid in a laundry basket and change her on a towel on top of the dresser. Hm. Any advice from those of you who’ve already gone through this would be helpful. I got an awesome Excel spreadsheet from Vyl the other day but that alone made me a little dizzy. Shouldn’t the “nesting” be the fun part?

By the way, I had my second Glucose Screening today and the orange flavored sugar water was just as bad as the fruit punch. However, this time I chilled it first and it made it a bit easier to chug this morning.
