Today we went grocery shopping at the HUGE store and got a bunch of stuff for the home (i.e. another drying rack, a bath tub for the baby, groceries, etc) - and I found a sale on towels. They were 2.50E for the smaller ones (got one pink and one blue for the baby) and 7.50 for the bigger ones (regular double that). We got another fitted sheet, a blanket and more pillow cases. Regular sheets don't seem to be as common - or maybe that's just me not noticing...
I also scored some cloth diapers today during my 4 hour marathon downtown - and this is all very exciting because...wait for it....MORE LAUNDRY FOR ME TO DO!!! WAHOO!
And more space to hang laundry - I'm so tempted to do some now but it's 12:09am.
Soon enough - be still the overly excited beating/nesting heart.
I am so glad to finally get the baby's bath tub - selfish reasons, I'll confess - I've been using a large mixing bowl to soak my feet when they're sore. And let's face it - 2 feet do not fit in a mixing bowl properly.
Oh and a fellow is swinging by tomorrow to drop off 6 MORE cloth diapers and a bag of baby clothes for 20E. Super pumped. Originally I was to meet him in his office but who knows where that is (it's further than Tim's office which took me about 20 minutes to get to today) or how big the bag of baby clothes is.
I may have found an orthodontist as well! I've emailed her and she speaks English (hallejuah). Her office isn't very close to my home - it's walkable....it's actually closer to the apartment I was staying at when we first got here. Go figure.
So I'm at Week 36 & 4 days and did a total of approximately 6 hours of walking today...the grocery store trip included. It's massive. I wish I had my camera with me today as the cabbage was bigger than my head and bigger than a Fred Flintstone-style bowling ball.....it's one of the things that Finns grow very big here apparently.
Tomorrow I plan on taking it easy....knitting and making a beautiful Shepherd's Pie ("Pate Chinois" in French for some reason? I highly doubt Chinese people eat ground beef with potatoes on top IN China) and hopefully meetin' my Dad on Skype. Wahoo for Friday night. OH and let's not forget all the cleaning and laundry I can do too....yippee!!! No sarcasm whatsoever! I'm terribly excited.
Saturday I have to go back downtown again....meeting a lady there who has some baby clothes that are unisex....don't need much - just want more of the type that have the feet attached etc.
Alright time to go to bed....super exhausted.
