Ron and I have been busy again this week with baby stuff and, of course, work and school. I had my 36 week appointment with Dr. Anderson and everything is still going well. She doesn't check her patients until 39 weeks unless I go into labor early so we are left wondering when it will all happen. I now start going to the doctor every week until the baby is here! Ron was fascinated as he got to feel the baby's head that was in the direction of my pelvis. He thinks he's an expert at baby body parts now!
We then went over to pre-register for the hospital and also register for a private room. We tried to see if we could get an employee discount since Ron sort of works there (for free by the way!) but didn't have much success! So, we are all ready to go when the time arrives with hospital stuff. The receptionist was really cute. She was trying so hard to be confidential with our information. The best part was when she whispered to me, "When was your last period?" I couldn't hear her the first time so I asked her to repeat herself. She leaned in even closer and whispered it again. Now had I not been pregnant I probably would have been embarrassed but since I was and realized that everyone around me also noticed it, it wasn't a big deal. Ron and I had a nice laugh after it!
To finish off the week, Ron and I met with Dr. Patel, a candidate for pediatrician. Ron knew him from the hospital and he was a speaker in one of our childbirth classes. He seemed really nice and down-to-earth. I told Ron that I thought he might be a nice balance for me since I can be a hypochondriac at times :) We were trying to decide if we should meet with this other doctor, Dr. Brooks, and check him out. Right now, we both like Dr. Patel and we'll see how it goes with the other one!
We didn't get a chance to put the car seat in last weekend. It was cold and we just sort of ran out of time. This weekend is supposed to be beautiful so hopefully we can get that situated. Other than that, the room and rest of the townhouse is baby ready. I just hope we are!
