Today I pulled out Kyle’s newborn clothes. So the Peanut has some stuff to wear. We have about 40 millions bibs and receiving blankets (so take note, possible gift-givers). I held up a sleeper for Stewart to see. He said “Wow, that’s a small kid.” It’s hard to believe Kyle ever fit into, or was too small for, some of these clothes.
I went to the spa today for some…ahem…grooming. It was a long time coming. Of course, with my added girth, it was rather acrobatic, and I came home to a nice unhealthy lunch and my daily fix of “A Baby Story.” Then I fell asleep. Then I rearranged all the books in our house and made a giant overflowing box of donatables. Now I’m out of breath and I need another nap. Only 70 minutes until Kyle comes home! Better do it now. Nesting is exhausting.
If you think those clothes are small, wait till you have to buy newborn diapers again! Kyle will seem huge! The first time I picked up Luke after Erin was born I was shocked at how heavy he felt – like an elephant with a ginormous head and enormous diapers.
