And we are down to a two digit countdown.
Time will probably fly by from here. And we have basically nothing prepared for baby. We have a stroller, a baby bouncer and some clothes. We won’t order anything else until mid February, hopefully that isn’t going to be too late to prepare for lilliputs arrival. When should one start to get things? I always said that I don’t want to get anything until like the 8th month of pregnancy, but once we got pregnant this time I realized that’s probably not smart. You hear about premature babies all the time for example. Plus you know, pandemic doesn’t make it very easy to shop.
We have a long list of potential items to get. I’ve spent countless of hours researching baby products and watched so many youtube videos on what moms recommend for this and that. Just need to make decisions.
We have also been asked to make a baby registry and we are considering maybe to have a virtual baby shower at some point, but we don’t really have anything on the list. When we decided back in 2018 to try for a baby I imagined a more minimal approach, meaning, we don’t want things other than what’s necessary. The kid will be spoiled eventually, just look at Thor, he has so many toys he often doesn’t know what to play with haha, but I’d like to start baby life on the minimal side. Babies don’t need much.
