We went to a "Taking Care of Baby" class at the hospital this week. They taught infant CPR, changing the baby, and safe sleep practices. We had fun. The pic at the top is what Justin did with his baby mannequin :)
The nursery is almost finished. It looks a little blah right now because we haven't done any decorating yet. We have plans for some wall hangings and some other things to add. I've got all of his clothes and toys organized, but I still need to wash his clothes, blankets and such.
Bateman hangs out with me while I work in the baby room. He really wants a baby toy to destroy bad! He's stolen a couple blankets and some clothes (for the tags), but I got to him before he could do any damage. He favorite thing to do is chewing things up, so we're gonna have to really watch him.
This past week I had some cramping. The doc says they were braxon hicks, but they felt a little different than what I've read about braxon hicks. None the less, the doc told me on Wednesday that I'm measuring right at 34 weeks, so that was good. I really don't want him to come too early. I hope he holds out til the week of Thanksgiving.
I've always been a list maker, but lately it's all I've been doing! Yesterday my list actually had listed to make 2 other sub lists to the main list..crazy. But, with persistent nagging and list making we've been able to get most of the stuff prepared in the time frame I was hoping for.
In two weeks I'll be 36 weeks and I start going to the doc once a week!
I'm giant.
This is the absolute, best time of the year! I'm so happy that I made it through the rough summer and that my last few months are in the fall.
These are pictures of our Halloween village. We started it 4 years ago, when we got in engaged and every year we add something. This year we added the "Halloween Pet Costume Contest". We are dorks.
I've been going to the doctor every two weeks now. Everything looks good. He's "head down". He feels super heavy and I'm afraid I may pee my pants.
The nursery is coming along. We're are waiting on one piece of furniture and then we should be set, besides maybe some wall items. I can't wait to meet our little guy :)
I passed the sugar test! I have my next doc appt tomorrow. The baby has been moving like crazy! I have yet to see an actual foot, but I see my him moving in my stomach all of the time.
Over the weekend we went to Wilmington, NC for our shower with Justin's family. It was great to spend time with his family and we got a bunch of good stuff at the shower! Unfortunately, we did not get very many good pictures. The shower was in the garage which is not as bad as it looks in the pics, haha. They had it decorated really nice. We got the stroller/car seat travel system, a baby monitor with night vision (Justin always has to have the best electronics :), baby bjorn, and a bunch of other sweet stuff.
As you can see Bateman was a very good boy! He was interested in all of the presents (especially the stuffed animals), but he didn't freak out or act like a jerk. Everybody loved him!
Justin's Great Grandmother even came out to the party. She is almost 96 years old!
Last Tuesday I had a doc appt. I had to do the sugar test. The orange liquid they made me drink was awful! I haven't got the results back yet. I really hope i didn't fail. If so, I have to drink more orange liquid and sit there for 3 hrs! No one at the doc office gave me directions before the first test and I ate normally all day then had the test in the afternoon. Most people tell me you have to pretty much fast, then take the test or you'll fail. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
