New Year New Projects

Happy New Year! Yikes we're gonna be parents this year! So far I've been making lots of lists from what to pack for the hospital to what baby needs at home. Jon has been wonderful. He's painted the baby room and has taken over some of the cooking and cleaning. He always makes sure I'm comfortable wherever I am and has done a lot of reading about labor and delivery. We going to get new carpet soon for the whole house. We got rid of the full size bed that was in the baby room so now we can fill it up with a crib, changing table, nightstand, rocking chair and storage for the closet. Things are definitely moving along. I'm so lucky I have two baby showers to look forward to - one at the end of January and one more at the end of February. Both will be up here in DFW. We're really blessed to have such wonderful supportive friends. Our next class to take will be Basics of Baby Care in February and I'll be taking a class on breastfeeding. So far I've done lots of reading about breastfeeding so it'll be nice to get advice from a lactation consultant and other moms who breastfeed. I am feeling all sorts of emotions nowadays from excitement to stress. And my appetite is sure going strong although I can' eat really big meals without feeling bloated. Baby girl is kicking and moving a lot. I can't wait to see our next sonogram on the 14th.
