Planning for a roadtrip

We're getting further along in our planning for the doctor's visit with PB next weekend. We've agreed to meet at her home and go to the doctor from there. It'll be our first time to meet the ob/gyn. We're going to spend the weekend down in the Central Valley since we'll be down that way, and we're going to take PB and her husband to dinner that evening. More after our roadtrip!

Going on a doctor's visit

Well, PB is off the hormone treatments now and we have a stable pregnancy. YEAH! At this point everything continues to go extremely well, and nothing but good news from all the doctor's appointments that PB has had so far. Her ob/gyn has expressed an interest in meeting us, so we're planning on going on her next appointment in February.

In addition the doctor's office is offering a "sneak peak" video package of the baby. I haven't had time to sit down and read the pamphlet yet for all the details, but the idea is to get a video of the ultrasound watching the baby move around, before it's born.

We'd also really like to go to the next ultrasound which according to Erica from GG, is around the 20th week. That's the ultrasound which will give us an idea hopefully of the sex of the baby. Then we can really get the baby room ready.

I've been doing more organization, more cleanup and more donating of things to charity to get the room ready, but I'm still not at a point where it's the baby room, so lots more work to go.

One of LH's coworkers has offered to hold a shower for us, and that means registering for the baby as well. It just seem like a difficult thing to do without knowing the sex of the baby!

My sister has already given us a bunch of things including a bassinet, baby swing, and an infant car seat, plus some clothes that my niece never wore, but has already outgrown.

I still sometimes can't believe we're having a baby this year! I'm sure it will really sink in when I'm holding the baby in July! I'm also planning on enrolling in some classes at Kaiser that are on newborn care.

New Year

I've been a little remiss in posting to this site with updates. But that's mostly because there's been little news to report. Everything continues to go smoothly. We got a call from Anita, a nurse at CFP late last week to tell us PB's latest appointment continued to indicate no problems, and they were going to switch her to a new hormone treatement as the one they were using (with needles) was causing her to have sore hips. Only two more weeks to go on the hormone therapy before the first trimester is over and we're out of the danger zone, and we can pretty sure we've got a successful pregnancy. I can't wait!
