Lots to catch up on this week. We had a doctor’s appointment this week and all is looking good. The doctor said Peanut is in the correct position (head down) so that is good, and she is growing very well. The next appointment will be in two weeks and then we go to weekly appointments. Heartbeat still sounds strong and everything is going well.
We had our shower this past weekend and it went really well. Thanks again to Pam, Kelly, Kristin and Lauren’s mom for helping to put it all together. We ended up with a pretty big group and though we feel really bad that we didn’t get to spend a lot of time with everyone, we hope everyone enjoyed themselves because we did. We got a lot of great stuff – overnight Peanut’s room transformed into something that looks like a baby’s room. I will post some pics of the shower when we get some. Thanks again everyone who came, we had a great time.
In other news, we have already attended two classes at our hospital: the maternity tour and childcare basics & car seat safety. The tour was really helpful because they showed us the process of where we go when we check in, etc. Reality! The facilities seem nice and we really like that they keep the baby with you basically all the time, except for morning check-ups. Childcare basics taught us how to swaddle which seems like a miracle if its done correctly. The guy in the video just wraps up these screaming infants, picks them up and holds them on their side and instantly they stop crying. Amazing. Hope we can figure that one out! We got a lot out of the car seat safety portion. They were very knowledgeable and will even inspect the car seat once we put it in which we will definitely take advantage of.
