Checking Off My To-Do List

It's been really hot here. When I get home from work everyday, I can't wait to get my clothes off and put one of Jason's big T-shirts on. I usually have cankles when I get my socks and shoes off from the swelling. I like to be nice and cool at night when I'm trying to sleep, which can be challenging when you share a bed with another person and 2 big dogs. I got up about 1am this morning to put a tank top on and crank the A/C down to 64 so I could finally get some rest. I think my dogs get a little chilly because they seem to be curled around either Jason's head or my legs when the alarm goes off.

I washed and hung up a bunch of baby clothes that we have been given as well as few little outfits we have picked up here and there. I told Jason to go into the laundry room and he went in looked and just shook his head. The bar above the washing machine and dryer was lined with little girl clothes. I told him to get ready because our house is fixing to be overwhelmed with baby stuff. I never thought it would be so much fun to wash her little clothes and organize the closet and dresser. I was carrying all her clothes to her room and Jason just laughed at all the little hangers I had on both of my arms.

I have my next doctor appointment on the 19th. After that appointment, I will start going every 2 weeks instead of just every 4. On the 27th we have an appointment with the pediatrician we are planning on using. We will meet the doctor and office staff and have the opportunity to ask any questions and fill out any paperwork. Her name is Dr. Meganne Walsh. She will come to the hospital to check the baby once she is here.

I have signed us up for pre-natal classes. We will go every Tuesday from 7pm-9pm for 3 weeks starting the first week in October. There are also 2 additional classes included that are offered on a Saturday that we are attending. One is a breast feeding class and the other one is called "The Happiest Baby." I think it teaches techniques to help the baby get to sleep and sleep longer if that is actually possible. Jason doesn't quite know what he's in for because he was oddly excited about the breast feeding class. I'm sure after we leave there he's going to be mentally disturbed. We have our name on the waiting list at the daycare down the street from us. They keep 9 infants and the next available spot for a baby is July 2010. However, we bought our house from the lady and her husband that own it, and she said she would highlight our name to try to get us in sooner. It's the best one in town I've heard and the closest to our house so I hope everything will work out.
