Beginning Thursday
Hubby remembered to take the trash to the road last night; I carried the trash I bagged out to him, just to make it easier. I still need to empty the kitchen trash, but the can outside is full, so I'll worry about it later.
Today's food plan for the twins is Cinnamon Toast Crunch for breakfast, Pizza (The Meats) for lunch, and Mexican Ziti for dinner. Butter cookies and fruit snacks will serve as snacks.
Today's food plan for me is the leftover half of a chicken salad sandwich, tuna salad on wheat bread (that hubby's mom bought for me), mac and cheese, hot dogs, and bananas. I've been eating a banana before bed every night, but it doesn't stop the leg cramps while I'm sleeping. These leg cramps alternate between calf and thigh - the pain is unique.
Today seems like a potentially pleasant and calm day. We will likely make a run to T'ville to visit the library and maybe storage. I'd like to use my $3 off $15 at Walgreen's today on detergent and pop tarts.
I am due in 35 days. I have 39 days worth of disposable diapers and maybe 10 days of disposable wipes. We will be getting a car seat in September - thank you grandmother! I have an old manual breast pump and 3 bottles. I still need to procure some Drop-Ins liners for 2 of those bottles, but I have a $1 off coupon to help me. This situation feels much less scary than last time. I'm very excited to meet the new kid - and hopeful he'll be healthy.
I began work on cloth wipes from a flannel shirt last night. If all goes well, I'll be able to get 20 wipes out of that 1 shirt. I'm trying to take pictures as I go...post them when I'm done. The hardest part will be clearing off a space to setup the sewing machine, and sewing the edges of the wipes.
