I had another doctor's appointment today; I am 34 weeks down (in my 35 week, hehe) and have another appointment in 2 weeks, then start every week until Baby H is born!!! Unfortunately, my husband was not able to come with me this time. This is the first appointment he hasn't been able to make :( Ah, well. For the most part, it was the same old, same old: Blood pressure (good), check heartbeat (good 130 a minute I think), measure uterus, and check where baby is. Baby H is head down now and she pointed out where her backside was (to the left, which baby H seems to like). She asked if we got a Ped doctor yet - I said yes, although I haven't actually filled the paperwork; we have a visit on Jan 18 where we get a tour of the office and ask questions. Note: What questions should you ask? They had a pretty good webpage and I guess I am going more to get a feel of their office and doctors... She asked if we did a birth class; I said no, what did she think? She is very ok (as was...

As so many people have been inspired (me from hisboyscanswim .com ), here is my Checklist of Things I still need to do before baby arrives. Thankfully I just found my pediatrician and sent off my hospital pre -registration! :) Here’s my list: 1. Send thanks you notes from shower in November (and for shower next weekend) 2. Buy Nursing tanks 3. Set up appointment to get car seat installed in car ( http://www.seatcheck.org/ ) 4. Pack hospital bag for me and husband 5. Register for CPR class ? (I took a class, but it's been over 10 years, so I probably need a new one) 6. List of people to call after baby is born 7. Print out address labels for baby notifications 8. Buy bottle nipples (???) 9. Buy Nursing bras 10. Buy petroleum jelly 11. Buy infant Tylenol 12. Buy saline drops. Post Baby H 1. Get photo announcement cards from Costco 2. Mail out said photo cards 3. Call insurance with birth info 4. Call to update my info for short-term disability benefits Thankfully, I have m...

So, I know that some people get stuff for free to review... Unfortunately (hehe), I am not one of them. I saw this online after following @MyBusyBabe on Twitter. I had been kinda looking for a planner like this and was going to make my own, but I think this really saves time and my sanity! hehehe Anyways, so I'm obviously not getting anything from this review, but wanted to write about it because I think it's pretty darn cool! What is the Busy Babe Planner ? Basically, it's a day to day Baby Planner/Notebook. You can either get a book that dates the months for you, based on your delivery date, or you can get a blank book where you put in the dates. Obviously, the pre-dated book is more. Me, being cheap, got the cheaper version and will put in my own dates :) The picture to the left with the green cover is this generic version. If you order the pre-dated version, you can have your baby picture and name on the front cover - it's super cute!! Maybe later I'll get the ...

So, if you are following me on Twitter, you have noticed my complaints. ;) I actually kinda' use twitter to keep track of what I am feeling so that I can write about it later here. Here are some things I have been writing on Twitter: "So, mostly @ night & first thing in morning,I have pelvic pressure and now this: Stinging in my vag**a area- not constant; just quick stings" "Ugh, awake w/heartburn. Apparently I'm meant to get a max of 4 hrs of sleep at a time for the rest of this pregnancy! " "I keep wanting to walk around and then it's SO uncomfortable :( And it makes me feel super fat ... All sorts of unhappiness tonight " "I feel like I'm in the first trimester again with all this dairy I want! " So, my new and ongoing things are: 1. Not able to sleep as much, and 2. Heartburn. 1. I can't seem to sleep more than 4 hours at a time. I actually have a SUPER hard time falling asleep at night and then wake up early. Which al...

Soooo .... I haven't written for about the last 2 1/2 months. I know, I know - I'm a bad blogger. I hate to say this, but I only blog while at work and work has been busy! :) I work at a university and so we run in ups and downs during the year. Thankfully, the students are now on winter break which means I have a bit more time to relax - THANK GOODNESS! My pregnancy was timed good like that ;) Bad for my boss because I'll be out this spring during what is usually our MOST busy time, but I'm glad to have this 'breather' as I go into my 3rd Trimester. As you have noticed, I also have been twittering only off and on. I try to tweet anything I notice that I would want to write about later and... there really wasn't much to write about in between around week 23-27! It was interesting because there just wasn't all that much to say! I was continuing to get big, but nothing really different in feeling from before. Or rather... ... I gained lots of wei...
