So this is the first weekend in a while that Igor and I have had to ourselves. Hooray!
I've been a little worried this week. Everyone keeps asking whether we've started getting ready for the baby, and I can't really say yes. We've definitely been working on the condo a bit (mostly changing the ugly doors), but no real plans for baby stuff, etc. SO! Igor the problem solver made a to do list for this weekend, and we totally did everything on the list for Saturday! This included making a list of stuff we think we'll need for the baby. That was quite an achievement. We shared the list we made (in Boogle Docs) with Igor's sister, who was nice enough to give us tips on which of those things we'll actually need, what else we'll need, and what she's going to give us. We're like, halfway to a registry already.
I've been feeling fairly steadily unproductive these past four-ish months. This weekend was the exception. We're having our "master bath" (HA!) shower all tiled next week, and we picked out and purchased all the tile and fixtures we think our guy'll need. We also did an AWESOME job cleaning our room so they'd have room to maneuver as they need to (and we don't have to feel like people are seeing our dirty room). We had a bunch of stuff stored in that shower because we never used it. It's all out now. And we took care of a bunch of paperwork. We are GOOD.
We had another baby appt on Friday. Igor and I got to meet with Carla, the midwife. She's the same lady who gave the "you found out your pregnant-now what?" class in October I went to. Hilarity ensues around her. I LOVE meeting with her. Not only is she fun to get along with, she gave me all good news for the questions I asked. It's 100% fine for me to take Aciphex for heartburn, I can drink decaf Lipton tea in the mornings, and turkey/roast beef lunch meat is fine to eat during pregnancy. Hooray!
We of course, also took some very necessary "nothing" time to veg on the couch and watch TV. Even though we did a lot this weekend, I feel fairly relaxed and ready for next week.
This week, the baby's... ok, I have to copy what I read on parentsconnect.com for this week, because I think it's funny. "He or she now weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, as long as a turkey sub from Subway on warm, delicious Italian Herbs and Cheese bread (or Honey Oat bread, or Oregano bread or ... )" Haha!
BTW, I finally caught up, so this blog is now current, which is probably why I wrote enough for an essay this week. Hooray!
Ohmygoodness, the food analogies are cracking me up! I mean, I've read about the normal ones before... like pea, plum, etc. (which already make my mouth water) - hahaha, but a turkey sub?! Love it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to find that you're blogging your way through the pregnancy - I wish now more than ever that I was still living out in California!! But being able to keep up with all of the developments online is the next best thing :)
