We have been so busy these past two weeks. Last Friday I had 2 doctor appointments. First we met with Dr. Bonebrake, the perinatologist. Everything is looking good. What we have found out is that Chris also has the same freaky blood as I do, so our baby will be just fine. We will see him one more time and then will just continue with our OB doc. Dr. Bonebrake did an ultrasound so we got some more pictures. The baby is growing great. 2lbs 4oz! Right on target. It's moving like crazy. Still freaks me out. I'm still feeling good. Have probably pushed it a few times and have worn myself out completely.
After my appt. with Bonebrake I had one with Dr. Nabity. It was just supposed to be a routine checkup so Chris did not come. Oh, but this is a good one. I went to his Immanuel office this time. I went and checked in and let the receptionist know I had to go if they needed a urine sample. So I did. I marked my sample, put it in the window and flushed away. Well, that stupid freakin toilet decided it was going to overflow! Are you kidding me! And I really had gone...if you get my drift. I walked out, bright red and told the nurses that the toilet was overflowing. They said they've been having problems not to worry. I told them I am so embarressed, but that I really had to go. I was mortified! Well, needless to say I got right in. The nurse came in and was so nice to me. She said we can just blame it on some guy that was in previously and used that restroom. She then said it was my lucky day, no bloodwork. Yippee. But did Dr. Nabity tell you that he wants to "check" you today? I said, are you serious? No, didn't know that. Luckily I had just had this conversation with my friend Amy, so I knew what to expect. All in all. I'm not dialating yet, good. I did still have to get my blood drawn, but the nurse was a good one!
We went to a CWS game on Sunday. I forgot sunscreen on my legs and ended up with a nice looking burn. I managed to get everything else lubed up. Was only able to make through 5 innings. Those plastic seats in hot weather does not do a pregnant lady any favors.
Last week we started our Prepared Childbirth classes. We meet every Tuesday for 6 weeks. Chris and I just end up cracking up at half the stuff. This week we watched a video of a birth. Holy Crap! It finally came to me that this baby has to come out at some point! Overall we feel that we are ahead of the game by having the nursery ready and many other things.
We met our pediatrician today. Dr. Steinauer. He is the brother of a co-worker of Chris'. Great guy. He's like a disney character in real life. I guess only about 5% of people actually go and meet their pediatrician before they have a baby. I just didn't want some stranger coming to check on our baby at the hospital without meeting them first, at least! So we can mark that off our list.
Tonight we decided to go register at Target and Wal-Mart. Again, holy crap. We have no idea what we are doing. A few things here and there that we think we'll need. Chris was all about the diapers. I was...well...tired. Tomorrow night we are going to tackle Babies-r-Us. If you've never been there, well, it's like the Nebraska Furniture Mart for babies! It is so overwhelming, but they have everything! That's where we will register for most of our stuff.
Well, better head to bed. I'll try and get my profile photo up tomorrow.
