I'm pretty excited for all of the fun things to come in 2010! Can't wait to meet my little guy in just a few short months :) In the meantime, I'm keeping myself busy reading baby books, Mom says I have an entire library already. The book I've liked the most so far is From the Hips, by Rebecca Odes and Ceridwin Morris. It's a HUGE book, and has a lot of useful information. And, unlike some other books, it doesn't gloss over anything...or make everything sound fantastic. It's a real down to earth book that doesn't really impose opinions on the reader.
I went to the doctor yesterday and got a pretty good report. The baby's heart beat is strong, 147 beats per minute. The doctor said his ultra sound looked pretty normal, and I'll be going back for another one in 6 weeks (hopefully I'll get some good pictures from this one). My next appointment is in 3 weeks. I have to do the diabetes glucose test then so I have a lovely orange beverage to drink before I go...that should be interesting. I'll be sure to report back on that.
I have an iPhone app from babycenter.com, and it tells me the size of the baby every week. Usually it refers to some kind of fruit or vegetable which really makes me laugh. Sometimes it's some weird fruit like kumquat...who really knows what a kumquat looks like? Not me. Well this week baby should be about the length of a large ear of corn; much more relatable than kumquat.
This coming week, I need to get on the ball and register for baby classes at the hospital. I know I'm for sure going to take the caring for newborns class...but I can't decide if I am going to take a birthing class or not. I really don't want to, but I probably should. I'm a little disappointed that the birthing center isn't doing pre-labor tours for expecting parents due to the swine flu situation. Looks like I'll have to settle for the online video tour.
Hope everyone has a wonderful 2010!
