Oohh ohh me wants to join in!
MrBum and I already have the names picked out: Elizabeth Grace Lund-Conlon if it's a girl, and Thomas William Lund-Conlon if it's a boy
We've got practically everything because obviously Anna is still very young and we always planned to have another so not got rid of anything. The only thing we will need to buy is blue clothes if it's a boy, and more early baby stuff if s/he needs it this time around, as my brother's sister-in-law had a little girl (premature) after Anna had grown out of all her early baby and newborn stuff, so we gave all that to her.
Also, just a few things that I would like to get for our next baby, but don't really need:
A pram that comes with a carry cot AND car seat - so that if we come in from a walk and she is asleep I can just leave her in the pram rather than picking her up (because you can only leave a baby in a car seat for 2 hours; the way it is shaped creates a risk of cot death if the baby sleeps in one for longer) and also, Anna hated being put into her moses basket, she would never sleep in it - she co-slept with us until we set her cot up (which she loves!) I figure that with a carry cot pram, I can pop him / her in there, take him / her for a walk around the garden or just wheel him / her up and down, and then when s/he goes to sleep I can just leave him / her in there for the night! When s/he gets too big for it, I'll just move them straight into the cot
Another thing that I would like to get is a swinging baby chair, because Anna never liked to be put down when she was very young, but she enjoyed it when I swung her in her car seat, (which cained my arms!) so my hope is that new baby will enjoy sitting in a baby swing while I tidy up (when she's not in her sling, that is!).
Squee! So excited! Can't believe we're getting my coil removed this year!! Feels so real now. I can just see Anna and Tom playing together, and getting up on Christmas mornings - Anna waking Tom up by jumping on his bed, "He's been, he's been!!" and awwwwww sharing secrets, arguing, him looking out for her, her telling on him lol, building dens in the garden together, sharing secrets... hehehehehe SO exciting! So glad our beautiful little family will be complete soon!
