Rearranging our Apartment for Baby Hardman - Phase 1

Yes, we are finally having a baby! Although the little one won't be joining us until
sometime around February 8th, we have already started making some changes.


New cereals (both on sale!). MultiGrain Cheerios to help me be healthy and
Cap'n Crunch Berries because it is the closest thing I have had to a craving. I'm not totally
averse to food like I was a few weeks ago, but I still generally don't feel like eating.


New, random stuff in the fridge. You can see three kinds of juices (not because
I like them but have necessity for them). Applesauce for the times my stomach is a
little less than cooperative or happy. Also, a pitcher of water because I am not so
content to just fill up from the tap anymore.



A lot more movies lying around. Here you see Bewitched, Monkees and Conference.
Those are the regulars - always on hand. I do read and nap a lot too.
And sometimes I just lay.


Our new mattress. Sleeping is a thing of the past. Between dreams, bathroom trips
and aching so bad I can't lay on either side for more than a few minutes during
the last few hours of the night, I had to do something. On the left side of the bed
you can see a brown sleeping bag. There are actually two, big, fluffy brown sleeping
bags on my side of the bed. Thankfully it has helped quite a bit.



Saltines on the nightstand.



Occasionally a bowl by the bed at night just in case.
Thankfully I haven't had to use it yet (at night).



The bowl I usually use with the rug pulled away slightly to avoid unexpected splashes.



The couch is now usually equipped with pillows during the day and a blanket all
the time. Sometimes I come out to finish my night on the couch.



We have some new seating arrangements. The couch also often functions as our
new dinner table because I don't enjoy sitting in chairs much. Here is where I like
to put on my makeup because I can sit (there is a mirror on the wall there).


I sit on the edge of the tub and do as much as I can to get ready. You can also see a
stool in the shower. I had that from my ankle surgery, but it works well when you are
tired and pregnant too.


Comfy clothes that aren't tight around the waist are always handy.
Don't worry, I put them away sometimes.


The green bathtub cleaner I made from baking soda, liquid soap and water
with a little vinegar. It works wonderfully!



Last but not least, new pictures. Here is Baby Hardman just over 3 weeks ago at
my appointment when I was 8 weeks. We may have some updated 12 week
pictures next week. All the pictures are meant in good humor, not to complain.
I have been sick but sooo glad it hasn't been worse! And I hope it will get better soon!
It is rather amusing to me anyway and we are happy.
