Furniture
Well, Brian put the crib together on Wednesday and the changing table today... They both look very well made and were not difficult to put together either.. (and I couldn't be of really any help), because it is a "man" thing to want to put together your child's furniture. Brian wanted to make sure that it was put together and was done right so that it would be safe and sturdy for our daughter. I love this man, my husband and soon to be father of our child. Neither of us can hardly wait. We have found our Pediatrician and will see him April 21st, at 8 AM. We have heard nothing but good about him... so here's to hoping that we like him too.

Catch up time
I was just so tired to get back on the computer after my second appointment yesterday... well it just didn't happen.
I had an appointment with my OB @ 3:30 PM.. this went well overall. My iron level was up to 9.0 still not good but hey better. That is about all I can work for at this point. I will have to take another iron shot next Tuesday... (I look like a pin cushion at this point) what is one more stick to my body? I gained one pound. So a ten pound gain during this pregnancy. Dr. says gaining a pound a week is normal at this point and that 1/2 lb goes to the baby each week (YIKES) she already weighs about 4 lbs and I have 8 weeks to go... well that is technically another 8 lbs gained with 4 going to the baby... An 8# baby... Way to make mama stress Abigail. (I am not hoping for a c-section at this point. Guess I better step up my walking which is an accomplishment in itself at this point. (it hurts to walk). I do want to thank everyone for their prayers, thoughts and well wishes. It means a lot to Brian and I to know that we have a "world" of family, friends, co-workers, and even people we have never met to know they are wanting the best for us.

3D ultrasound Appointment
Abigail is a real gymnast.... Right hand and foot covering her left eye. My what flexibility. By the way she isn't going to be a bald baby.
Our little boxer... people debate on the nose... a Forsyth or Roach nose? Guess we will know when she makes her appearance.Monday, March 24, 2008
Coming up... (tomorrow)
Tomorrow 3/25 at 9 AM I will go back to have a retake on the 3D ultrasound. Anyone who would like to see a live take of it please let me know... I will send you the user name and password. I will let you know ahead of time. I have no idea how this appointment will turn out; she wasn't very co-operative at the last one so that is why they decided to do a retake. Also it will cost you $12.95 to be able to view it, but you can view it when ever you want after the first time with no re-occurring cost to you. (you don't have to be available to view it at 9 AM tomorrow either).
At 3:30 PM I go in for another Dr's appointment and another non stress test for the baby. These non stress tests will be done weekly at this point. I guess we will see if there was any weight gain (I am sure that there is at least some) - even with me being sick all week; and they will check my iron levels tomorrow.
Brian is on spring break ... and he as offered to pick up the daycare kids so that I can sleep in a little bit. I love him so much. Being sick (cold) I think and having a headache for about 4 days straight that I can't seem to get rid of--- I am very grateful to him. By the way.... he is so sure that this baby is ready to come now to meet him... must be a daddy thing. Moms get to carry the baby and dads don't have much to do in the day to day operations of that aspect of pregnancy -so being this close to the finish line he is very ready for her to be here.
Oh and tonight we have our 4th out of five prenatal classes.... tonight topic... c-sections and epidurals. OH boy... let's see if we have the stomach for that.

I was asked ...
... about gift certificates. I guess I really never thought of gift certificates to use. But here are some options. They make the Visa/MasterCard gift cards... These are used as a credit card. You tell them how much you want to put on there, and then it is something we use anywhere Visa or MasterCard is taken. There are other ways for gift certificates too .... of course at any of the places we are registered and then there is another place, as well. http://www.babybestbuy.com/ has some things we can really use but they didn't have a registry for me to set up there. The main thing I would get there is the cloth diapers has we are wanting to cloth diaper our baby girl.
Changing Table
A big Thank you to James & Crystal, Harvey & Lucille, and Del and Family for this wonderful changing table. It will be a wonderful addition to the nursery furniture.
