Not a lot to say

Tomorrow I will be 20 weeks pregnant. Friday I will have been in bed for 3 weeks. As far as updates go, that's all there is here.

I'm quite afraid...still. Maybe the fear will subside once my lowercase w can survive. I'm planning on feeling better about things at 26 weeks. In reality, I know I'll feel better after he has been born and is at home...healthy.

I'm trying to figure out when the right time to finally fill out the hospital pre-registration forms is. I've just been so afraid to do it. And I have to figure out when the right time to buy the things that we need are...you know, things like bedding for the cradle (which by the way is a non-standard size, so exactly how do I deal with that? It's 15 x 33 and not the standard [I think] 18 x 36), and a mattress for that cradle. And sheets and other furniture -- like a dresser of some sort and a changing table. I've all but decided to *not* buy him any clothes since I don't know how big he will be -- while he'll grow into things that are initially too big, is it wise to buy premie clothes for him when we don't know *how* early he'll come and if he'll even need those? But if he does, we won't have a lot of time to get them. Gah! Too many decisions to make!

I'll post again Friday or have Mr. W do so after the cervix measuring ultrasound. Ah, the fun.

Hoping 20 weeks turns into 26 and 26 turns into 36 and so on until mini w is home safe and sound.

What cat said. And don't worry about clothes too much. People will come through.

And about the sheets, why not look online? Or just buy flat sheets and use safety pins to make them fit the mattress.
