A Pregnancy Update

Just an update on all things pregnancy. Figure if I do it all in one post, people who don't want to read it can skip it.

Mike FINALLY got his new insurance cards today so I spent the early afternoon filling out my Pre-admission forms. OK! This drove me nuts. They don't put a little box to check for address or employment info same as patients so I had to fill out my address about 8 times and my place of employment 4 times. REALLY?

We have made a few purchases. Mostly diapers and a few clothing items as they are on clearance (in many sizes). We did buy a dresser, which was missing a "specialty" screw that Mike could not find at any hardware store so we had to write the company to send us a screw. We also purchased a bouncy seat (the vibrating ones) and a travel system when they had great deals. I bought an Udder Cover when they had a deal to get them for FREE and you just had to pay shipping. I recently purchased a baby sling from DITTANY BABY when they had a good sale too.

Baby Boy was very active during the day up until his ultra sound. The night before his ultra sound I think I woke him up when I woke up around 1 and couldn't fall back asleep. He was active that entire night and since has been pretty calm during the day with just a kick here and there. I can feel kicks from the outside sometimes but Mike can't. I think it is because I can feel them inside as well.

I have purchased some maternity clothes but am mostly making the most out of a bella band so I haven't bought any pants. I was really hoping the bella band would last until Spring when I could just wear all my capris that were TOO BIG last year but I don't think that is going to happen. I bought a few shirts and am combining them with shirts that were too big and the loose flowing shirts I already had.

Mike can not quit saying we are having a baby! It kind of gets annoying sometimes but I understand why he is so excited.

We registered for some classes. We are taking some childbirth/pregnancy classes, a breast feeding class and hoping that the infant care and first aid class adds some dates (right now the next one is a month after my due date).

I did measure ahead at my ultra sound (but are not changing the due date since we did IUI). We were measuring about a week ahead on everything (height, weight, organ development, etc). Hoping that means our little guy will not come to late. Although early may not be good either as I am due the day after Mike's last final at school.

That is about all for now. We are getting very excited for Baby Boy to come. We are watching for great deals and I must say the Idaho Youth Ranch has AWESOME prices on baby clothes. ($1/item). I still have times where it doesn't seem quite real but they are few and far between now.
