Update

I haven't been on the computer in the evenings much lately and since I can't access blogger at work, that means I've been unavailable to post any baby-related updates. So that's the goal this evening.

First, I've noticed the baby moving more lately - and she's moving with more intention and strength. She's still well-behaved, though, and moves away and calms down when I need her to.

Baby is also still head down, we learned at our appointment last week. Her heartbeat was in the 140s and Teresa said everything seems to be going well.

Birthing class last night focused on advocacy for yourself during your birth, especially in the instance of transfer from home or birth center to the hospital. Kelly and I agreed that we feel far more prepared for the unexpected things that may come up after this class.

We're in the market for a pediatrician - or a family practitioner. Funny...I've never shopped for one of those before...

Probably we're going to get a crib this weekend, which we're excited about. We have the space and the bedding and the growing baby, so it's about time to get a bed.

I'm still having no problems. Just trying to keep my iron and calcium up - two things that you're not supposed to mix because calcium disrupts iron absorption. But I haven't had any real problems with either, so I'm not terribly worried. And I'm still trying to eat lots of brain food - blueberries, walnuts, fish, broccoli - since her little brain is maturing at this point.

Well, that's all I can come up with for now. More later...and Kelly's said he wants to take pictures this weekend.
