Today marks 75% of the way! I think I have gained around 15 lbs so far. Decent. I just hope to keep it down these next 10 weeks.

What's going on these days? I feel big and people like to say how big I am...
My plan was to start getting ready for the baby after we got back from
Prague. I figure if I do a little each day, by the time the baby is here, we will be ready. I am a planner and like to be ready way ahead so some may seem funny to some and normal to others. I figure I am basically ready in case there were an emergency.
The bed was still set up in our room from Mateo. I always had one in my room and one in his. I suppose soon we can move the bottom up *reminder to put on list*. I have a bag with some newborn outfits from Mateo and some of my smallest onesies and a blanket, plus a bag pulled out for me with some nursing stuff on top, so I figure I am almost packed for the hospital. The car seat/bassinet/stroller are all ready to roll.

| My new stroller set for #2. I am excited about it! Mainly because the car seat has a base for the car. |
The playpen bottom has been raised and the toys cleared out. Mateo needs time to adjust to the fact that he is not allowed in it anymore.

My
birth registry is started. Needs to be edited. (Lijstnummer: 453370, Paswoord BPS8041) Speaking of gifts, I find it hard to make a registry, because I have so much already. I also don't want people to spend much on something I will rarely use or don't need. I am putting some things on the list for Mateo and splitting up the biggest item in a few parts.
I received tons of clothes from our aunt, so baby girl won't go naked the first 6 months. They are sorted in boxes/bags.
Baby girl's 'space' is not how I would like it, but I can't give hubby too many projects at one time. Maybe 1 thing/week until she arrives.

No name, but who has a name at 30 weeks? Okay, okay, I know some do, but we don't...
The only thing I don't feel is ready is the
doopsuikers and birth announcements. I am lacking inspiration for them. I should start looking online for ideas.
How am I feeling? Ok. Pretty good some days and so exhausted other days. I am so glad I am done with work. Now I can basically do what I want, when I want. It is getting more difficult to sleep. It seems that I wake up every time I need to turn over. Even if I am tired, once I am woke up in the morning, I can't fall back to sleep. I try to take a nap every day.
