No baby yet...

I had my 38 week check up today (well technically I am 37 and 5 days) and I was exactly the same as last week, 2cm dilated and 50%.  I was having some good contractions while I was in there though.  Anyways, I thought I would share some things I bought this past weekend for the babe.  We didn't have a baby shower this go round because we have pretty much all we need as far as gear and clothes go (Will was a June baby but I am hoping the clothes will work out for the most part.)  It has been kind of weird not buying anything.  I sold Will's travel system car seat on Craig's list so we did have to buy a car seat but I opted not to go with a travel system this go round.  I never used the stroller because it was so big inside stores.  So I just bought another Chicco seat.  I really wanted a Britax but after looking at it I decided it was too huge for my van's seats.  We didn't really have any complaints with the Chicco before except that it didn't fit well into shopping carts.  I love the color of the new seat though.  Another plus is it fits pretty securely just setting into my Britax umbrella style stroller that I love because it is smaller.  The only other "baby" item I have boughten is a Wubbanub.  I read about this on Erica's blog.  I like the idea of there being something other than a pacifier for the little babe to be attached to so we are going to give it a go.  My other purchases revolve around picture taking.  I LOVE Will's pictures that Beth Meysenburg took.  However, this go round I am going to try to do some myself.  I have been looking at different posing ideas online and decided to buy some "props" to use.  There are a few more things have/am contemplated buying such as: pacifier clips on Etsy, Hooter Hider, embroidered months onesies on Etsy.  These are things that can wait so I haven't really worried about ordering them yet.

The car seat we bought.

I bought cheese cloth to wrap Timothy in similar to above.

I love the texture of the fur against the soft baby skin so I am going to give this a try.

I love this hat but I didn't order it.  I might wait and do a three month picture with a hat instead

I got matching ties for the boys that I can't wait to try out. 

The Wubbanub we bought.

Anything else you can think of that I need? I know that with Will we would've been set with just a bouncer seat and his mama's milk!  I have been trying to keep this in mind with Timothy.  The boys are sharing a room so we are planning on just using the play pen as a bed for now.  We will see how this goes.  Will ended up in our bed so we NEVER used his crib.  I would rather have a play room for the boys than another unused nursery.
