The mattress (and a bunch of other items) are ordered from the Amazon completion discount and on the way. It will be nice to get the crib made up and ready to go!
I also purchased a few things to prep some meals to put in the freezer this weekend. Fingers crossed that the freezer in the basement is still up for the task.
I think the next time Daddy is here I'll have him put the car seat in my car so I can go get it checked. Everything I read sounds like every seat protector does damage and/or is a problem to use with the car seat.
Mentally I don't think I'll go early, but I did just read an article on early signs of labor which has me thinking. So I guess it's good if I get a little nesting in over the next week.
1). Baby drops: head down at least... perhaps not 'dropped' but it's possible.
2). Cervix dilates: haven't been checked - dunno.
3). More cramps and back pain: I've had some cramps in the front low and pains in my back sleeping - which compared to earlier one when I felt none.
4). Joints feel looser: I can't check this one, but I am needing to move a bit slower after I roll out of bed.
5). Diarrhea: It's definitely been looser, but not diarrhea.
6). Stop gaining weight: Well, it's been a few weeks since I've had a major leap. I guess I attributed that to the swelling and water gain that then passed, but I'm swelling again and still not up more than a half a pound.
7). Extra tired: Check, but this is probably because I'm not sleeping as well in the first place.
8). Discharge changes: Nope, not this one.
9). Stronger/More frequent contractions: I haven't had any braxton hicks to my awareness, so... saying no here doesn't really sway me either way.
10). Water breaks: Definitely not yet... who needs this on a list to tell them it's coming soon?
