Wow, only 26 more days!! We had our first appointment of April today, the nurse said that we're "like a book"! She listened to baby's heart beat and measured him. She said that we're measuring perfect and he's a "happy baby" in there! :) She also did a Group B Strep test today, so our next appointment we should know the results. Also, I've been sick for the past 5 days with a nasty cold. I'm starting to get over it. It's not pleasant, but I would rather be sick now than be sick after baby's born. Just gotta keep the Kleenex close :)
The nurse also talked about induction. She said that if he hasn't came by the 39th week we can plan on getting induced. We're thinking about it, but we haven't decided.
We pretty much have everything ready for baby boy when we bring him home. One of our friends gave us a great suggestion for the pets! She said that when she had her little boy, the nurse took a little plush toy and rubbed it all over her baby to get his scent all over it, and then stuck it in a bag for them to take home to their pets to smell and play with. We thought that was a great idea, so one of the toys we got from the shower-a cute little lion, we're going to take that with us when we go into labor. That way, when he's born we can rub the lion all over him and while I'm still in the hospital with our son, Ben can go home and let our pets smell it and get used to that scent.
We were just talking today about how excited we are for everything, this new exciting journey of parenthood. We couldn't be more ready for this little guy!
