Well, the exam was pretty routine and low key. We had a quick and dirty ultrasound with the doctor's oldest machine just to check the position of Roo and make sure we are all ready and in the head down position, which Roo is. The one thing that was slightly different was I had to spend a bit of extra time resting/lying down in the office because when I came in my blood pressure was borderline high (151/90) and the doctor wanted to make sure I wasn't developing pregnancy induced hypertension. Luckily, after lying down my blood pressure came down just fine (106/60). I discussed a bit with the doctor about signs of needing to head to the hospital and got several other questions answered.
This week has been a week of several small shopping trips. I have picked up some things we were lacking/still needing. I've got the diaper bag mostly packed for the hospital, all that is needed are diapers to be added. Most of Roo's laundry is done, minus a few new items.
Our parenting class went well and we again got lots of very good and helpful information. Sadly, this was our last class with Susan, the teacher who has been teaching this set of classes. We also met some other parents-to-be and traded emails and phone numbers. Overall a great experience. Next week we begin our Preparation for Childbirth class with a different teacher.
This coming week, I need to finish packing my hospital bag, call and interview pediatricians so we can choose one before our next visit on 2/14, call and set up an account with the diaper service, and probably help Jeff set up the dresser, crib, and co-sleeper.
