So, with about 5.5 weeks to go before Baby K is supposed to arrive, we've had a few significant things occur!
1. We loaded the carseat bases into our cars. This proved to be a bit more challenging than we expected - not that it was hard to install them, but we didn't realize how GIGANTIC the darn things are! In our Fusion, with Baby K behind the passenger seat, a front seat passenger is best off if they are about 3 feet tall because the seat has to move up so far to accommodate the infant carrier!
2. I packed Baby K's hospital bag! Not much else to say about that, but "Yay!!!"
3. On Tuesday, March 16th, I noticed belly stretch marks for the first time. Ugh. Thankfully, they are small and concentrated under my belly button area. But that, too, has started to pseudo-pop. The human body is truly a strange and remarkable thing.
4. This Saturday, we have our "Childbirth Preparation" class all day. I hope it doesn't freak us out!!!
We still have to pack a bag for Mommy & Daddy. If anyone has any suggestions of "must-haves" at the hospital (besides the obvious), do share!
We never had a "bag" for daddy! What the heck is that?! Dad was supposed to just show up with me, not pass out during delivery, then hang out for a while. He went home to sleep, returned every night after work to visit, then leave. Back then I stayed in the hospital 7 days because someone didn't want to enter the world in the normal way (Erin?), so a c-section meant a week stay! Glad to hear that "birth"days are changing and Dad's have an opportunity to stay at "Hotel St. Joe"! Love you both and can't wait for the phone call!
