I am totally living in an "out of fashion" bubble and am dying to get to the stores this summer and shop non preggo. <br />
<br />
So I was on the hunt. I decided I wanted pale pink and mint green. After searching online I had no idea what size to order so headed downtown one weekend to have a look. Pastel jeans were everywhere! But so was every single person living in Zurich with a 30 minute wait for the dressing room. So I came home empty handed. <br />
<br />
Hollis and I headed downtown last week and I was determined to find a pair. Well I guess that Saturday every pair of jeans were pretty much bought at H&M and Zara (the only two stores that are remotely ok to shop at in Zurich ). So Hollis and I went to the 4 H&M's they have down town and finally at the 4th store had success. <br />
<br />

Her first was in Arizona in the hot tub over Christmas. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hollis was kind of unfazed by the whole thing. She pretty much just kept the same look on her face for the whole hour we were in the pool. She was happy sitting between our legs with her feet in or sitting in the baby pool on our laps. We wasn't much of a fan floating on her back like she is in the bath tub. At the end we took her into the big pool when most of the kids had left and she was happy to just be floating around. We are off to Atlanta this weekend and our hotel has a pool so maybe there will be more swimming. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I never got around to updating at 2 months because we were traveling. At two months old Hollis was 11 pounds 4 oz. and 22.5 inches long. Right before she turned two months she started rolling over from her tummy to her back. She was not liking tummy time very much and learned how to flip herself. She was still a very good sleeper, sleeping about 11 hours straight at night and taking 3 naps during the day.<br />
<br />
Here we are at 3 months old. Hollis did not have a doctor appointment this month so I took her to the free service that Zurich offers where you can get your baby weighed, measured, and talk to a mid wife every week.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">3 Month Stats:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Weight: 5.5 Kilos/ 12 pounds 2 oz.

I miss my tiny little baby but we are having so much fun watching Hollis grow. She is a mover these days. She kicks like crazy when she is on her back and is now pushing her feet off the ground, doing a little back bend and scooting. We have to watch her very carefully on her changing pad now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuP2PsSkRbXNe_yYFW3XDxN1hEQxustO0tcfuMVWjKqk9VEgvS6W8Xc_Rfwjh6zAq_WEQzidUG267FdXJVWmYAZc_niwbf8-HAbbs01g0qve5aps2LScj5fQxPTwwPfkdNth4TNuH16fsS/s1600/DSC03143.png.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuP2PsSkRbXNe_yYFW3XDxN1hEQxustO0tcfuMVWjKqk9VEgvS6W8Xc_Rfwjh6zAq_WEQzidUG267FdXJVWmYAZc_niwbf8-HAbbs01g0qve5aps2LScj5fQxPTwwPfkdNth4TNuH16fsS/s640/DSC03143.png.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She loves looking at and touching the sign the Aunt Susie gave her. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am just having too much fun playing with our little princess to sit at the computer.<br />
<br />
We scheduled to have Hollis' new born pictures taken when she was 14 days old. the photographer ended up getting sick so we pushed them back a week so Hollis was three weeks when the pictures were taken. Since she was a little bit older than typical new born photos we decided to do more of lifestyle pictures. Hollis actually didn't sleep a wink until after 2 hours until the last pictures so we couldn't mold her into any of those little baby positions. She was such a sweet girl during the pictures and didn't cry once during her 5 outfit changes. This was also the week that Hollis had a tiny bit of baby acne so her face was a little bit red but I am so happy we have these pictures as a memory of her being a tiny baby.<br />

Here are some of my favorites...<br />

We spent her first five days being spoiled at Hirslanden hospital where we spent our time just looking at our new baby.<br />
<br />
My Mom and Dad were here for the next five days and they just fell in love with Mary Hollis. We had a very relaxing week with them with a few outings.<br />

My mom stayed for the next 10 days and good thing she did because I became a little bit under the weather. She was super woman and did all of our cooking, cleaning, and took care of Hollis at night. I don't know what I would have done with out her.<br />
<br />
We have since adjusted great to being a family of three and every day bring something new and exciting that Hollis has done.<br />

<br />
Hollis, here is what you have been up to in your first month.<br />
- You like to be on your tummy at some points during the day and have been able to turn your head side to side since you were 3 days old. You are a strong little girl!<br />
<br />
- You eat every three hours during the day and make lots of noise while eating. You sound like a little dinosaur so we think you love eating.<br />
<br />
-You love being in your bugaboo. For the first three weeks you would always fall asleep while we were walking but now you wake up sometimes and love to look around and look at the toy hanging in your stroller.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisZ_1w89rTz0OiSxtBXEwU6HYI-_vs67tixJI1_7exo-eOUOcMEWG2dDr2N3zX0ikYF0MEVGz2KqmDtt_GfUrdKEOEAlCMNn6h1qROChK8_QmN9_DHKzhnPFx62VfkEZWWOQdKZ66q9Q0e/s1600/DSC02450.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisZ_1w89rTz0OiSxtBXEwU6HYI-_vs67tixJI1_7exo-eOUOcMEWG2dDr2N3zX0ikYF0MEVGz2KqmDtt_GfUrdKEOEAlCMNn6h1qROChK8_QmN9_DHKzhnPFx62VfkEZWWOQdKZ66q9Q0e/s400/DSC02450.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
- You also love the baby bjorn. We go on walks in the morning on the trail and you just fall asleep all snuggled up. Your Dad carried you in the baby bjorn almost all last weekend when we were out and you loved it. This week I folded down the front and let you look around while we were getting stuff done around the house. We sure hope you like if for flying on the airplane.<br />

- You are starting to like your swing. You like to be in it for about 15 minutes while the music is playing and look at the animals hanging above your head. So far you have only fallen asleep in it twice.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJcTrGSvoI5BpvJnACe93FZjlywppifOaUrZmm548o3fju1JienVwvUB0RFscMjFs1KG6IVhVwYCAzFS2iQXUaDYgApyNZ_4HRW4brTanoDvbYz-BvTYqyxvfp5SZXIO1qQLtCc4M0UAXB/s1600/DSC02380.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJcTrGSvoI5BpvJnACe93FZjlywppifOaUrZmm548o3fju1JienVwvUB0RFscMjFs1KG6IVhVwYCAzFS2iQXUaDYgApyNZ_4HRW4brTanoDvbYz-BvTYqyxvfp5SZXIO1qQLtCc4M0UAXB/s400/DSC02380.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />
<br />
- Your Dad swaddles your every night before going to bed and you love being wrapped up tight. During one of your naps during the day I put you in your Woombie sack in your crib so you can sleep well.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Sv1oa69iZfeP4JsVHMDnAUGNLn0-yeEkcOAxauQDZRiEuc3WZNfIDA23KwemvVhbbNnWeW-XqVFou8VhZ9WnHzCs856Gr5MF4_e6fBKJSGNt77C7lAvEXd08m0jptwlxDgMNdDlBJk9K/s1600/DSC02360.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Sv1oa69iZfeP4JsVHMDnAUGNLn0-yeEkcOAxauQDZRiEuc3WZNfIDA23KwemvVhbbNnWeW-XqVFou8VhZ9WnHzCs856Gr5MF4_e6fBKJSGNt77C7lAvEXd08m0jptwlxDgMNdDlBJk9K/s400/DSC02360.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
- We still don't have a nap schedule down. We are out and about many times when you are to take a nap and you just sleep here and there in your stroller. At home in the afternoon you don't like to nap very much. The other day you stayed awake from 3:00-8:00 straight (doesn't leave me very much time to get things done).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNGxUohKeY1gZHce1INwb4kOmA4TNljg9yvn7pNuXxndDOBeEYkezV2lkBzXCrJDSMUiIOOVj-0V9-du80C7OlAeYlZH9nO2YFMEWkDfm1pQBKM7ulHADBGHP8lV-_GtcDHjCdgjctDLFc/s1600/DSC02416.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNGxUohKeY1gZHce1INwb4kOmA4TNljg9yvn7pNuXxndDOBeEYkezV2lkBzXCrJDSMUiIOOVj-0V9-du80C7OlAeYlZH9nO2YFMEWkDfm1pQBKM7ulHADBGHP8lV-_GtcDHjCdgjctDLFc/s400/DSC02416.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
- From the beginning you have slept pretty well at night. For the first 2 1/2 weeks you went to bed around 10 and woke up at 2 and 5 to eat. At three weeks you started going to bed at 9:30 and waking up between 3:30 and 4:00 and then would wake up for the day between 7:30 and 9:30. When you wake up in the night you just eat and go straight back to sleep. But now two nights this week (5 weeks old) you have slept all night! The first night you slept for 9 hours straight from 9:30-6:30 then ate and went back to sleep until 9:00. Last night you slept from 9:30- 9:00 this morning. We couldn't believe it!! You are such a good girl!<br />

- You are becoming more alert every day. You love to look at the black and white pictures we have on the wall. You also love to sit in your Boppy under your activity mat and look at the animals.<br />

- You started smiling about a week and a half ago and it just melts our heats! You have also started laughing a little bit and making noises when you play.<br />
<br />
- You are very good when ever we are out. You are such a little angle when we have gone to people's houses.<br />
<br />
-This week we went to Baby Sensory and you were looking all around listening to the sounds. You also held a rattle and liked when your hand would move and it would make noise. We also went to a yoga class for me and you got to have your own little yoga mat. You kicked and played before you took a nap on your tummy while I stretched.<br />
<br />
- Your changing pad is your happy place (except if I am putting your onsie over your head). You just kick and laugh when we are changing your diaper.<br />
<br />
- While we eat dinner you chill in your bouncy seat rock or take a little cat nap.<br />

- You LOVE LOVE bath time. Every night your dad gives you a bath in the big bath tub. You would stay there all night if we let you. You are such a little swimmer and kick and splash the whole time and get so relaxed. You have started to get very angry when we take you out of the bath and your face turns bright red from screaming. But you are a happy girl again when you get your pjs on.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
- You love you Daddy and just stare at him when he holds you. It makes me so very happy. When he leaves the room when you are on the changing table you tilt your head way back to see where he went and look all around.<br />
<br />
You are just sweetest best little baby Hollis. You are so chill and only cry if you need something and you stop as soon as your Daddy or I pick you up. We never imagined how much we would love you and how much fun we would have with you. We love watching all the new things you are learning but hope you let us hold you like a little baby forever.<br />

Time with a newborn is sure busy but I want to make sure to remember our early days with our little baby. And I am not awake right now because of Hollis, I am just awake with too many things to do on my mind.**<br />
<br />
My time in the past 3 weeks has been spent loving on and looking at our beautiful little girl but I don't want to forget about the old blog. I really want to document Hollis growing up so am really going to try and be better at updating this time.<br />
<br />
We had a great relaxing weekend. It was our first weekend at home as a family of three since the hospital. My parents were here the past two weekends and we miss them terribly! But we had a very nice relaxing weekend just the three of us.<br />
<br />
Friday I was very tired when Zann got home from work after having a baby who did not want to take a nap when I wanted to take a nap. We just had pasta for dinner and had an early night as soon as Hollis went to bed. I was able to pump a couple bottles during the week so Zann was nice enough to get up with Hollis Friday and Saturday night. Though I did wake up when he did to make sure she was ok but I was able to go back to sleep. Having a longer stretch of sleep made all the difference.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning Hollis had her newborn pictures taken. She was such a sweet girl all morning. She was wide awake for almost two hours while we dressed and undressed her a million times and moved her into all sorts of positions. I don't think she even cried once. Her pictures are precious and I can't wait to share them once we pick the ones we want to use.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">After all the picture taking we all took a little nap. I woke up to find these two sweets on the couch.

<div style="text-align: center;">Sunday we had a very lazy day and stayed in our pjs until afternoon. Hollis kept her pjs on all day actually. She is wearing my favorite Kissy Kissy pjs and they are already almost too small for her.

Temperatures have been about 80 for a few weeks and have slowly cooled off into the 70's. <br />
<br />
We have enjoyed spending time outside on the weekends and I have found two of my favorite spots in Zurich. <br />
<br />
I spent some lovely days with the ICS ladies at the Kusnacht beach before school started and was dying to take Zann there. A couple weekends ago we meet some friends there for a fun day in the sun and some swimming. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
This place is picture perfect on the lake with REAL sand! This is the only place in Zurich we have seen with real sand which makes it so much nicer to walk into the water instead of climbing over big rocks. <br />

The Juker Farm pumpkin patch also tops my list. I had not been to a pumpkin patch since taking 4 classes of kindergardners a couple years ago in the freezing cold. So needless to say I enjoyed this beautiful sunny day at the pumpkin patch along the lake with out thirty 5 year olds to watch over. <br />

Just this week I have had 3 friends (from Switzerland and the US) announce they are pregnant! What wonderful news to hear!!<br />
<br />
I have been lucky enough to be pregnant at the same time as some great friends. It has been such a great experience to share this time with close friends. <br />
<br />
Bridget and I both found out we were pregnant with in a week of eachother and shared the news with eachother from the first day. Out due dates are (well not was since Bridget's came and went yesterday) six days apart so we have lived every moment of our pregnancies together. We shared an office this year at school which was hilarious. Two blondes with huge bumps often found out of breath from walking up all the stairs to our office. Pretty comical! Our fridge was always stocked with yummy goodies and we would both be jumping from opposite sides of the room from strong kicks. We were often walking down the hall together and that was a sight to see since we resemble eachother to begin with, have matching bellies, and wore the same color combination many times unplanned. We got many double takes. Bridget has already gone through pregnancy once so it was so nice to have an expert friend to ask questions to and reassure me of certain things. I can't wait for us to be on maternity leave together for the next couple months. <br />

Two days after sharing the news of Baby H with the PVI girls Alex shared her awesome news that she was pregnant also due 2 days before me. I was so excited when I heard this news. We have lived all the moments of our pregnancies together via the internet. We were both lucky with easy pregnancies but always had the exact same feelings at the same time. When ever Alex emailed about how she was feeling, I felt like she was describing my day. I loved being able to write her and ask if she was having certain feelings or symptoms and getting a response back that she felt that way also. The S7 junior members are due any day now. I can't wait to see if they will be born on the same day and for them to meet at Christmas time. It will also be so nice to have someone with a baby the exact same age to chat with about how the babies are sleeping, eating, etc. <br />

Over 4th of July weekend, The Beckers shared their very exciting news that they are expecting also. Mr. Williams's Party now has junior members. Mandy and I got to talk all baby over the summer when we were together and now get to chat baby over Skype. Our babies are going to be fast video friends and then hopefully not too long after will get to meet in person. <br />

I am a member of a couple yahoo groups that post questions, share info, and sell things in and around Zurich. A couple weeks ago a very nice lady from one of the groups emailed me with many baby items she was selling. I picked a couple things to buy and then things got busy and I forgot we needed to pick them up. Well I didn't pay attention to what group she had emailed me from because I thought she lived in Zurich and I would just go 10 minutes or so on the tram to pick up the things but come to find out she lived in Lucerne which is about 50 minutes away by car or train. <br />
<br />
Was it really worth it to drive that far?? After doing some price research we did decide that it would be worth it to go pick them up. And Sunday's weather was going to be beautiful so we decided to take the train and make a little day trip. <br />
<br />
We got lunch at a yummy backery and ate lunch while looking at beautiful Lake Lucerne and the mountains. <br />

Zann and I had been to Lucerne when we were visiting Switzerland before we moved here and somehow missed the famous Lion of Lucerene. When Susie visited we took a day trip to Lucerne and were able to see the oh so famous lion. It is now a joke between us because we read on Trip Advisor that this was one of the best sights in Europe and that is was so moving that some people weep when they see it. Not to put down the lion or anything but we didn't have the same reaction. The area in front of the lion is swarming with people taking pictures like he is going to get up and run away or something. So here is the lion. <br />

We stopped by Mr. Pickwick's pub before heading to the train station to pick up out baby items. Then enjoyed the beautiful train ride home along the lake. </div>Sarah Hawkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05334458184655870652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374994684216953325.post-12375048991861659392011-10-06T16:21:00.000+02:002011-10-06T16:21:38.477+02:00Happy Birthday Zann<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Happy 28 years to my Zann!<br />

Zann received so many thoughtful emails and calls all day yesterday. He brought cake to work and they were so sweet to give him a picture frame to keep at work for a picture of the baby. They also gave him a Swiss Piggy Bank to start saving for Baby H's college. haha<br />

Birth week is still continuing. Zann won 4 chf on his lottery tickets that he got as his present on Monday. <br />
<br />
Is this not the cutest cake?? Zann and Cubbedge share a birthday and we always had so much fun celebrating them together in college. The Auburn gang in Charleston went out to celebrate on Tuesday night and included Zann on the cake. I can't wait for the day we can all celebrate again together! Vegas anyone???<br />

I am 39 weeks pregnant with little girl and looking every bit of it. <a href="http://babycenter.com/">Babycenter.com</a> says the baby is a little over 7 pounds and is the size of a small watermelon. A bowling ball feels a little more like it to me though. Last night when I rolled over it really felt like I was throwing a bowling ball onto the matress. <br />
This picture made me laugh so hard when I saw it. Erin and Bonner were out bowling to celebrate Cub's birthday and did an impressions of what I look like. I swear I almost went into labor right then and there I was laughing so hard. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpvlExMTkIs_0iSEML_W9IkMY5Zrw9HeQiHLt9zjpdMymeSWI87nbnEWk25T_YpPhAQrxyty9NUL6cN0VruMNTM1dsB260IUHniErASsGBZoHsd0m5YhLOE39tzZrMHzc2ELIgvMegfIPA/s1600/Bon+and+Erin+39+weeks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpvlExMTkIs_0iSEML_W9IkMY5Zrw9HeQiHLt9zjpdMymeSWI87nbnEWk25T_YpPhAQrxyty9NUL6cN0VruMNTM1dsB260IUHniErASsGBZoHsd0m5YhLOE39tzZrMHzc2ELIgvMegfIPA/s400/Bon+and+Erin+39+weeks.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
With that being said I am still feeling pretty good for being almost 40 weeks pregnant. I am still coming to work every morning until lunch time. No one can believe I am still coming to work but I feel good in the mornings so I might as well save the time until after the baby is born. <br />
<br />
The baby is still moving all around especially around 8 at night after I eat my dessert. It feels like she is trying to fully stretch out which can be a little painful. This morning though I really thought that there was going to be a body part to poke through my skin. I don't know if it was a hand or foot but it wanted out and and felt so so pointy on top of my stomach. <br />
<br />
I don't go back to the doctor until Monday (the offical due date) so we will know more then. If she has not come my Monday I am not sure what the plan will be. We realized we forgot to ask last time how long they will wait before inducing me. But now we are just going to go with the flow instead of calling to ask. Please just saw she will come before Mom and Dad her here on the 19th. And hopefully we will be almost ready to leave the hospital then so we can enjoy the time with them at home. <br />
<br />
So until further updates on Monday here is the big old 39 week belly. <br />

Even thought Baby H is yet to be born that doesn't mean there hasn't been plenty of shopping and window (or online in my case) shopping.<br />
<br />
Well I have developed a slight obsession with baby clothes and searching for great deals. With that being said though I have only bought things that I really really love because I know she will not fit in them for long and I want her to wear each thing a couple times.<br />
<br />
I am a lover of classic baby clothes and love smocking and monogramming. They are only babies for such a short time so Baby H will be dressed like a baby or a little girl for as long as she will let me. She will have plenty of time to wear jeans in her life but can only wear sweet little dresses, outfits with her name on them or smockings for so long. The price tag with this type of clothing is not cheap though. My mind (or our budget) can not justify spending $70 ++ dollars on a dress for the baby so I have found other ways to buy the boutique clothing for less $$.<br />
<br />
So here is how I have found some great deals.<br />
<br />
I signed up for Zulily.com when I first found out I was pregnant (ok maybe a couple months before). They have about 10 or so brands that have sales every day. The sales start at 9:00 ET and things sell out quickly so you have to be fast. Luckily for me that is 3:00 in Zurich and normally a time when I can be at the computer. I have found some super cute things there in the past couple weeks that fit with my baby clothes max price limit (which is not high). I can't wait to see the items when my in laws bring them in November.<br />
<br />
EBay has also become a slight addiction of mine. There are tons and tons of cute clothes on Ebay for a fraction of the price. I always look for clothes that are new or in excellent condition and normally sort the prices lowest to highest. That way I don't even look at the things that are above the max price I have set for myself when buying baby clothes. When I see something I like I add it to my watch list and then am able to think if it is something we really need and that I really love. Before auctions end Ebay sends you a reminder and then I go back to check to see if I am still interested and the price has not gone too high.<br />
When searching on Ebay I either type in the brand I am looking for or the type of clothes. Here are a couple of things I frequently type in.<br />
- Kissy Kissy (This is my favorite brand for layette pieces. They are the softest and have the sweetest designs on them)<br />
- Vive Le Fete<br />
-Anavini<br />
-Zuccini<br />
-Ragsland<br />
-Orient Expressed<br />
-Kelly's Kids<br />
-Smocked Dress (and specify Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or what ever else you want)<br />
- Petite Ami<br />
- Romper or play suit (It will be pretty cold here for baby's first months so one piece outfits will be best)<br />
- Feltman Brothers<br />
-Monday's Child<br />
-Smocked Bubble<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Consignment stores are also a great place to find clothes. I have only been to the consignment stores in Charleston when we were home in the summer and they were jam packed with adorable things. It took a lot of self control to not buy everything. The had smocked outfits over flowing out of the store and I found many Kissy Kissy and Pixie Lily outfits for Baby H's first few weeks.<br />

Only two more weeks until the due date of Baby H. Don't get too excited though because there is no sign of her coming early so far<br />
<br />
I had my 38 week appointment today and everything looked great. The baby's measurements on the sonogram were all in the average range or slightly above and everything looked right on track. She weighs a little over 7 pounds right now. So a little bit above average but the doc said I will not have a 9 pound baby. Good news!<br />
<br />
When we sat down to talk with the doctor about how I was feeling etc. she said "okay so see you in two week". I quickly responded that my due date is exactly two weeks from today and shouldn't I come earlier. She said there was no need to come any earlier and to just call the hospital if I go into labor. Ummmmm okay???<br />
<br />
I thought I would freak out at that point but surprisingly I think it makes sense. She said there is nothing else that needs to be done until the baby is born so there is no sense coming in again before 40 weeks. She seems to be fairly certain that the baby will be late but says you never know. If the baby has not come by 40 weeks she said we will do the non stress test to see how the baby handles contractions but that it is not necessary to do that now since everything is going according to plan.<br />
<br />
I have a feeling Baby Girl is going to be late also but this sure does make it hard for my mom to book her plane ticket. We don't want her coming on the due date and sitting around with me for 5 days with no baby then I will be in the hospital for 5 days (at least) so that will be 10 days of her two weeks here. Hopefully she can change her flight to push it back a couple days today.<br />
<br />
Until then we will continue to cross things off the "Do before Baby" list. The only big thing left is packing my bag. Other than that we are pretty much ready and I will work on crossing the things of the list like ironing the sheets for the baby bed (Zann thinks I am ridiculous) and washing the windows.<br />
<br />
I am starting to feel 38 weeks pregnant. Walking has turned into waddling and getting up from being seated has turned into a major work out. I am now taking a daily nap and have been in bed since 8:00 tonight because I couldn't stand anymore. Too bad you can't store up sleep hours.<br />
<br />
My plan is to continue to work half days this week and next week until our October Break starts at school. I feel great in the mornings and am liking going to work still. I really enjoy where I work and enjoy the people even more so I am not ready to give that up yet. If baby comes on the due date or after I will have at least 4 days work free.<br />
