Just a quick update about some random things...
Toured the hospital this past Tuesday, which went well. The entire Women's Center is much smaller than I was picturing (I guess I was thinking more along the lines of a Grey's Anatomy style hospital), and I really liked it a lot. Maybe it's because of the size, but it wasn't nearly as scary or intimidating as I thought it would be, just very comfortable and quiet. Everyone I've encountered there has been really nice too, so I'm looking forward to delivering there.
Also, I'm all registered for some pre-baby classes, like Infant Care, Infant Safety, Breastfeeding, and all that kind of stuff. There are four different ones, and all of the dates I signed up for are in about a week and a half period, so it looks like I'll be spending a lot of time in Arlington at the end of August.
Blah, that's all boring stuff though. Here's something fun! It's a picture of the fabric I'm using (held up against a rug that I think I want to get for the room). I love it, it's so fun and colorful! Plus, I think it'll be pretty easy for baby to grow into the room and keep me from having to redo it quite so soon.
So I go back to the doctor on Monday (I already feel like I've been going everyday, I can't even imagine once I have to start going every week!), where I'm sure she'll tell me (again) that I need to follow the sick nasty Mediterranean Diet. Which really isn't all that bad, actually, but I'm having a hard time following it because I just can't help but take advantage of the fact that I finally have an excuse to eat whatever I want!
Because this will
never happen again.:)
In other news, I feel like I'm quickly becoming prepared for all the joys a baby has to offer, all from Elizabeth, the baby my mother watches three days a week.
She spits up on me at least twice a day. I'm becoming immune to poopy diapers, especially after one major blowout which ended up with baby poopy all over my hand. And just the other day, she started peeing before I could get a new diaper on her. Yay, pee everywhere! It's a good thing she's so cute...
Hmm...Oh, I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter with Lauren and Kristin! Which was awesome and amazing, and OMG I love Harry Potter. I think it's no coincidence that Skeletina start kicking like crazy when the trailer for New Moon came on. She already has the same taste as me! (Heeey, Jacob!)
Either that, or maybe it was just the caffeine from the Coke I was drinking-yes, I cheated and gave in and had a Coke. I needed it, the movie was over two and a half hours long!
Apparently, since that first scare when I didn't feel her moving for a while, she's decided to be ultra-reassuring and just move and kick non-stop. All day. And all night. Hard. It's pretty entertaining now, but I bet in a few weeks I'm going to be ready to kick back! Haha, just kidding, I'm sure I won't mind that much!
Now I'm going to go make a Mediterranean-friendly salad for lunch...yuck.
