Coming home outfit!!!

We got Niko's coming home outfit on the weekend. For dylan we had a GNR' onesie with the Guns N Roses logo that read "Sweet Child of Mine". So we were looking for something equally as cool for Nik! Found it on Saturday and just stumbled onto a picture of one like it:

Third Trimester

It's slightly debatable when the third trimester officially starts. But I've always gone by the mayo clinic guideline which is "28 weeks". So that's today! Wild!

Shop til you drop

Sears was a bit cracked! Can't imagine how busy it would have been if the weather had been fine. We got everything on the list. Got a great deal on a health assure mattress. The mattress and the change pad and cover we got today. Everything else is paid for and had to be ordered in. Should all be here around the 2nd week of April. Which works out well, as we are aiming to do Nik's nursery during the long Easter weekend. I still haven't decided on colors or what exactly we will do design wise. Going to try and get that decided upon this weekend!

Baby days is on for 2 weeks, and different stuff is suppose to be on sale next weekend. I'm hoping monitors. That's the only other big ticket item we need... I think lol Want to try and get over to coochicoo and get another diaper too! One a pay day is what I was aiming for, not working out so well. Mom and mil both mentioned buying a few each. Think I might have to encourage that :D

Niko: Live from the Womb!

The St.John's UCBABY was awesome! A half hour of viewing time, over 40 pictures (2 of our choosing printed) and I paid extra to get the dvd. Niko was moving and grooving the whole time. It was incredible! It may have helped that I had a full strength coffee, grape pop and a greasy tims breakfast sandwich before hand lol I had heard about people going and their babies sleeping through the whole thing. Not baby Nik! He was constantly blinking. We saw a a few yawns, and swallows and he was kicking and punching the entire time. Coolest part for me was seeing the movements on the screen coordinated to the movements I was feeling. He showed his face plenty, mostly profile but he certainly wasn't shy. The tech called him photogenic. He got lots of shots of his privates... he is definitely 100% boy!

They are suppose to have free online web hosting for the pictures, but were having problems with their system over the weekend. So I uploaded a few to our web page here. I'm also going to try and make a post-able video out of some of the highlights. The video is definitely the coolest part.

D was really into it for the first while and was easily able to pick out Niko's features when prompted "Where's Nik's nose?". It was over 30 minutes so he did lose interest after a while. But did great! The live streaming worked as well so the parents, in-laws and my brother all got to be womb voyeurs as well. Everyone was pleased and amazed at the awesomeness of modern day technology. All in all I consider it a great experience and money well spent!

UCBABY tomorrow

We also have our 3d/4d ultrasound booked with UCBABY for tomorrow morning! SO EXCITED!!! Hope the snow doesn't get in the way. Can't wait to see Niko on the big screen, and hope to get to see him moving and grooving and doing his thing! They have livebroadcasting so I'm hoping our parents and my brother will get to watch live too! I know they will all get a big charge out of that!

Baby Days

Saturday is going to be a busy morning... baby day's starts at sears and all the big ticket items on my list are going to be on sale. I went in and scouted it out ahead of time today. We are due for a snowstorm tomorrow, but as long as there open I plan to get there lol

On the list;

Quinny Buzz Stroller (black)
Crib Matteress (undecided as to which)
Storkcraft Change Table and 4 Drawer Dresser in oak (to match crib we have already)
Contour Change Pad
Change Pad Cover (undecided)

We debated on the Quinny Dreami. But after taking a 2nd and 3rd look I realised it only goes to 15lbs. D was over 15lbs at like 3 months. So assuming baby Nik will be of comparable size... it didn't seem like we would get the value out of it!

Ghost Train dilemma

We have had a huge problem d lately. He has taken to making huge messes with flour like substances. So far 2 bags of flour, 1 bag of sugar, and some rock salt have been involved in his escapades. This morning I caught him with unopened bag of oatmeal going for attempt #5. As you can imagine these are no small messes... we are seriously ready to haul our hair out. After the second time we realised what he was trying to do, he is trying to recreate a scene from one of his favorite Thomas episodes 'Ghost Train" .... start watching at about 2:20 to see the event he is trying to recreate.



Obviously he is fixated on this. So we searched web there is no "ghost train" to purchase, far as we can tell no such product exist. So now I'm thinking of ways to create one lol
