Nine Weeks Left

With only nine weeks left until Matthew arrives I have been feeling very overwhelmed and a little sad at times. Today I opened up one storage bag of newborn clothes from when Joshua was a baby and just started crying. There are bags just like it sitting in the empty crib...in the empty room. I just remember having everything set up and ready for Joshua and I feel like nothing is happening for Matthew. So, I've decided that this coming week I am going to go and get the mattress for the crib and then after the 12th when my 20% off coupon is good I will go and get the bedding set I fell in love with. Isn't it adorable?

My emotions are all coming from the fact that I have never seen a lot of gifts come to those that have a second baby so close together let alone one that is the same gender as the first. Because of when we had our shower for Joshua (Thanksgiving weekend) no one was available to come to the shower.

I think my only life saving thing right now is that I saved nearly everything of Joshua's so we won't need to replace a lot of things. The things I do have on our registry for those that ask if we need anything is stuff that I've realized I needed for Joshua at one point and never had or added things like a really nice large diaper bag for both boys stuff, a dresser (because obviously Joshua still needs his dresser), and little odds and ends that both boys can use for the bathroom.
