Looking forward to: Doctor's appointments this week, hopefully getting our official induction date!
Last week wasn't too eventful. I met the girls from work for lunch one day which was nice. I also went to see the endocrinologist. She confirmed my thyroid levels are perfect, so I am supposed to keep taking my medication even after baby is born. She also pointed out that blood clots are significant medical issues and suggested that I push McMaster to do some more testing after the baby is born. I took Casey to the vet on Thursday, she has to have four teeth removed :(. I was so sad, I felt like such a bad mom. We had been brushing her teeth lots this past year, but they still need to be removed. It's going to cost $1300, and I assumed most of it would be covered by our pet insurance. Unfortunately, I called the pet insurance company as soon as I got home, and our plan only covers a maximum of $200 for dental. I was so mad, we pay $30 a month!!! I'm going to cancel it after I submit the claim for the $200.
Speaking of Casey, we keep wondering how she's going to react to the baby, especially since she is such a suck! I mean, seriously, look at her sleeping with me on the couch this week!
I went through all the gifts we received at the shower, and hung all the baby clothes. I know I'll have to wash them all before baby comes, but I needed to figure out what we had and what we still need to buy. We have more than enough onesies, but still need some more pj's and tights to go with all the tops. This baby girl has so many cute outfits, she probably won't even be able to wear them all before she outgrows them! Almost everything we received was 3 months, so it won't be long before we have to start buying things in bigger sizes, especially if baby girl is a big baby.
Andrew and I were pretty productive this week, and got lots of the things that were still on our list. We ordered our playpen on Tuesday, and it arrived on Thursday! We got this one, and we love it:
It is really sturdy compared to all the other ones we looked at, and it is super easy to fold up. We will be using this as a bassinette for the first 6 weeks or so next to our bed. This will also be perfect to take along whenever we go out of town overnight. We also like that it's not covered in animals or bright pink/blue, and just sort of blends into the rest of the house.
We also went out on the weekend and got a bunch of stuff that was still on our list. We got a diaper pail, breastfeeding pillow, nipple cream (yay...), baby first aid/grooming kit, diapers, diaper cream, small book shelf for next to the crib, and some other bits and pieces that I can't think of. There are still more things we need to get, but if baby girl arrived today - I think we'd be just fine!
Yesterday we went out to the Mandarin for lunch to celebrate Mother's Day and my grandma's upcoming 80th birthday. I was so full, that I didn't eat anything for the rest of the day! It was really nice, here are some pics from afterwards at my aunt and uncle's house:
