Quick Niblet update.
Dec. 19th, 2008 03:47 pmI went to the midwife today. ( short summary: all is well. )
In other Niblet news, I am still feeling surprisingly well. Walking is a little uncomfortable, especially when I first start out; everything is beginning to open up and spread out in preparation for delivery. And I have become lazier and less inclined to move around unnecessarily. Otherwise, I feel pretty good. Switching to Prevacid seems to have solved my intractable heartburn issues.
After Christmas, we have a lot of Niblet Prep to do. On the list:

After Christmas, we have a lot of Niblet Prep to do. On the list:
Alex is signed up for a sibling preparation class on Jan 11.Michael and I need to re-take the hospital tour, because neither one of us remembers their policies and check-in procedures and so forth.- We need to buy Niblet gear, because although I keep thinking that we already have everything, that isn't really the case. We need:
a double stroller (I know she'll be almost four, but we walk a lot), a Diaper Champ, BPA-free bottles and teethers, a new baby monitor, one of those warm insulated carseat covers, diapers. - We need to figure out where we're putting baby gear in the new house, and get the newborn gear out of the basement and cleaned:
clothing storage, pack-and-play/diaper changing table, bouncy seat, co-sleeper, breast pump, carseat.Toys and books can probably wait a while. We need to launder baby clothes and baby blankets.- I need to get my office and my research project set up for my maternity leave.
We need to meet with Dorian and make all the arrangements for her to be our L&D childcare, including making her a key, teaching her how to install Alex's carseat, and making sure she knows how to get Alex to school.We need to make backup childcare arrangements and communicate them to Dorian and to the school.We need to meet with my friend Emily, who will be acting as our doula, to discuss labor issues.- We need to get the guest room ready for Dorian to stay.
- I need to fill out my hospital registration paperwork, birth certificate application, and FMLA paperwork.
