Just 5-1/2 weeks to go.
According to the books, the baby should be around 5 pounds. At the doctor's, she couldn't find his heartbeat for awhile and she said that she would have started to worry except that she could see him moving around in there. She then found the heartbeat (it was fainter due to the baby's positioning) and said it sounded great. Besides that, the appointment was standard issue.
We finished the painting of the room. And we sanded and painted the dresser that we'll be using as the changing station. I started putting things away in the dresser yesterday. We seem to have quite a few really cute outfits! We're still waiting for the crib to be delivered. There was a glitch in that the one we picked out was out of stock and we had to choose a different one. It should be delivered sometime next week. Then we can unpack all the bedding. We plan on putting the cradle together this weekend.
We had a tour of the maternity center last Wednesday as part of our childbirth class. It's really nice. It's more like a hotel than a hospital room - except that there's a hospital bed in the room. I've made a list of things I need to buy at Long's to pack my bag for the hospital and figure I'll do that in the next few weeks. I don't want to wait too long, but I think looking at a packed bag will make the days that I don't need it drag on!
I'm feeling pretty good overall - except for being tired all the time! But I guess that's to be expected since I'm carrying a bowling ball around all day everyday! It'll be nice to be able to bend in the middle again. Virtually all my shoes are slip-ons since I can't really get to my feet to tie laces. And I have to use my toes to turn on my work computer since it's on the floor and I can't really lean down to push the power button. Plus, it just takes me longer to move around. I know that getting exercise is important but I don't go far since just getting down the street takes like 3 times as long as normal!
