Full Term

Today I have reached full term (37 weeks). My baby is due in 3 weeks. I am able to feel how little room he has left in there. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that I actually have a human life inside of me. It’s the strangest but most wonderful feeling I have ever had.

I have been feeling a little overwhelmed though. I am now going to the doctor every week and after my appointments my husband and I go out and buy other baby stuff that we need. There is so much stuff and stores have baby checklists, but sometimes it’s difficult to determine exactly what we absolutely have to buy. Obviously diapers are a necessity, but what about things like a diaper pail? Is that really worth the money? I’m trying to save money as much as possible. I know I have at least everything I need to bring the baby home and for the first couple of weeks. It’s just overwhelming as this is my first child.

    Get a regualar good ‘ole trash can with a step-open lid so you don’t have to touch anything. You don’t have to purchase special bags or spend $$ on a specially designed trashcan that after a couple years you will never use again.
