Time to get the baby's stuff ready...

Once again, preparation for baby #3's arrival has finally started. It just feels like yesterday I was doing the same thing for the birth of our second child. I'm almost 32 weeks and I think it's the perfect time to make a list of baby's stuff that we will be taking with us to the hospital when I go into labor. I decided I want to do it earlier this time because of my condition. I don't want to wait till I am in so much pain already and am not able to do it right. One thing I don't want to happen is, forget stuff and remember them at the very last minute. I want everything done perfectly so that when we need a certain item, we know we have it and I know where I put it to avoid wasting time just trying to locate them.

Another reason is, during my second pregnancy, I started dilating early. At 36 weeks, I was already 1cm dilated. With my condition right now, there might be a possibility that it can happen again and this time, it's still way too early. As much as possible, I really am praying that she will stay inside till her full term or if not, at least beyond 38 weeks. But nevertheless, as long as she's healthy and doing fine, that's all that matters to us.

Tomorrow, I plan on setting aside time just to wash her clothes and have them ready to go. Diaper bag still needs to get cleaned but I can knock it down in no time. I think we've pretty much bought her clothes she'll need as a newborn so with that being said, we're good to go. All we need to buy now are newborn-size diapers.

List is done. Now time to get things started for the little one's arrival. :)
