This weekend we had a garage sale, had a lot of stuff clotting up the baby's room and now I have space to start organizing everything in the nursery, yay! This week I'll start washing the diapers (I guess you have to wash cloth diapers like five times before they're ready to go, who knew?), the baby clothes we have on hand and some other prep stuff like that. We also need to get with our doula to work on the birth plan AND we definitely need a car seat very soon! After all, it's possible the baby could come early. I hope s/he doesn't to be on the safe side, but you just never know.
We made a few bucks on the sale and Ned and I split it up as fun money. I'm sure he'll use his for records, and I plan on buying some of the new plants for the backyard with mine. After nearly a year of basically nothing happening back there, we're moving forward with a more simplified landscape plan. Just replanting the existing beds with some better-looking stuff, planting a few fruit trees and adding some raised beds. I think growing our own food is dope yo!
Speaking of growing our own stuff, here's a look at our tomato plants. I'm totally sold on the Tomato Success Kit from Gardeners Catalog:
The two plants in there have grown at a pretty intense rate, even for tomatoes. They're about four times as large as another tomato I planted in a regular container. Impressive. There's even some small green fruit already!
We have our final sonogram tomorrow, I am sooo excited. I can't wait to see the progress as this baby kicks me constantly! It's been several weeks since we last got a peek at them so we're really looking forward to it.
It's warm here and feels like summer. Had lunch and dinner on the deck today, pretty hard to beat. Looking forward to some summer nights outside with the baby, just the three - well, five - of us.
