What's she up to?...

Just a little update. All is still well, the baby is starting to do some uncomfortable rearranging, but I will have to rely on Caitlin to give you the full story, all I can say for sure is that it seems very uncomfortable! She also has good news to report health-wise... Improved blood pressure, good weight gain... All seems good, except for the uncomfortableness of whatever that girl has been up to in there for the last couple of days.

We had our baby shower on Sunday and that was fun! We closed Mabel's early and held it there. Lots of folks and good food! And, how can I forget, the presents! There were lots! I was expecting more "practical" things, but we mainly got alot of cute clothes! No, don't get me wrong, I imagine that clothes will be very practical, but I was expecting more of the "thermometer" kind of thing. Then again, I'd never been to a baby shower before, so what do I know. Anyway, Caitlin will, I think, put up some pictures of the booty (the baby shower booty), but it's been great fun to look through it... To read the books and to put away the little clothes into her little dresser. Speaking of that, we pulled the table out of the dining area and changed that area into baby land! Caitlin furnished it with the cradle and Pa's rocking chair and the babies dresser and the toy chest and the choo-choo train clock and she put the fun art from Kurty and Yancey and Robin up on the wall! It's very pleasant I say. And, as part of the aftermath, the living room and bedroom ended up improved also, so all is well.

On the other hand. It's only about six weeks (can you believe it) until the big day is due and we still haven't got around to calling a doula! But at least in another week our childbirth classes (whatever that might encompass) start, and hopefully about then we'll be able to check out the hospital facilities! I think the classes will be fun. To, you know, interact with other expectant folks should be a good thing.
