Appointments, appointments!
We may be getting 4 to 6 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow, so I am planning to work at home on my laptop tomorrow. I am so glad that I'm able to work here so often. This'll be the fourth day this week, as a matter of fact. It has really made it a lot easier to get to all my appointments so far this month!
Even though I am taking a low-key approach to the holidays this year, I'm as busy as I ever am in December, just with different things. Since being diagnosed with gestational diabetes a couple of weeks ago, I have had four different appointments to learn how to deal with it. Then I had my regular pre-natal appointment last Friday. And our childbirth class has been meeting every Tuesday night.
Starting next week I will be going to the OB once a week for fetal monitoring, ultrasound, and a doctor's appointment (this frequency is because of the gestational diabetes). Plus I have introductory meetings scheduled at two different pediatrician practices in the next two weeks. And there's a breastfeeding class coming up, an infant CPR class, and a class "just for dads" (I don't have to go to that one!). Then in January I have an appointment at the police station to get the car seat fitted properly! Boy!
We'll have most of these things taken care of by January, which will be nice. I just have a feeling it's better to be ready early than it is to count on the possibility that we'll have time to finish things up in the last weeks. I have just known too many babies who came early. And even if he doesn't come early, I'm sure there will still be plenty to do here in the house to get ready. I don't want to leave all my classes and meetings until then. Besides, I'll still be going to the doctor once a week until delivery.
For those who are interested in reading more about the pregnancy (and the baby when he arrives), I've started another blog here on Raspberry World where I will be posting about it. Right now it is just an archive of the weekly e-mail updates I've been sending out to our families since week 16 (boy, does that seem like a long time ago now), but I will be adding to it with more frequent posts beginning soon. Maybe even later this evening!
Anyway here's the baby blog: BUN. You can also get to it from the link in the left-hand menu on this page.
