I’ve had lots of nesting desires the last couple weeks – but really nowhere to nest since Emma doesn’t have a room right now. So my urges have been put to good use in closets, friend’s basements, drawers and lots of to-do lists.
One of my favorite friends and blogs is Cary’s blog, I’ve Got a List for That. It’s amazing to me how much I learn from her lists, from what to buy at Whole Foods to learning about her kids. And I am always so impressed how diligent she is about blogging. Anyways, I wanted to make a list of the things I want/need for Emma, it’s all in my head now and when the time comes I know it will have left my brain.
Emma’s List
1. Pacifiers of the girly variety. This may help George so that he doesn’t think I just gave Emma all of his old ones. I think they make pink Soothies now too.
2. Bibs. I am a cheap ass and I don’t think I have bought a new bib since JJ. I know – that’s really gross. So some terry ones and some wipe away ones are definetely needed.
3. Burp Cloths. The same as above and of the girly variety would be welcome.
4. Washcloths. I love baby washclothes and use them at bathtime and when I am feeding them for a quick cleanup. New would be very good!
5. Swaddlers. I have lots of the velcro swaddlers – which I love, but I’d like some of those gauzy leightweight ones (Missy!) like these.
6. Nursing Bras. Enough said.
7. Diaper Bag? Maybe. I haven’t really looked at them, but I may want a backpack one – I’m going to need all the hands I have right?!?!
8. Glass Bottles. I know I can get BPA free plastic. I do need to replace my bottles and I want to try the 4 or 6 oz glass bottles. I’m thinking Dr.Browns.
9. New Tubing for my pump.
10. Pajamas for me after Emma comes. I need to break down and get a couple pairs. I am picky b/c I like cotton with a little bit of stretch, not too contraining, but supportive around the tops and tanks with pajama bottoms. I have been loking for sales at Soma, Gap Body and Soft Surroundings, but can’t seal the deal.
There is more for my list, but that’s all I can remember now!

Ditto on 1, 3, 5, 6, and 10 Except for boy. As for pajamas I need the big people kind where it’s the size plus an X next to it, so humbling, in the back of target! Thanks for reminding me I don’t have everything I thought I did!!!

Thanks for the holler.
I have a few really nice/cute bibs and burpies that we hardly used (W being such a violent puker, we opted for more effective means of clean-up). I’ll bring them to you soon.
