I can't believe it! Seems like only yesterday, it was January and I tested positive on a pregnancy test....and here I am 8 weeks shy of my due date! CRAZY!
Well in the last two weeks I've been pretty busy including a flight to Denver for work and baby did wonderfully on the first flight out...not a peep; just a little bit of stirring around during take off and landing (just like mommy)
Trying to get everything together before D-Day....the baby's room and things at work. Starting to collect things for my hospital bag; so much to think about! Anyone have any input on what I should be sure to take with me....besides a camera and goodies for myself, daniel and baby. I'm open to any suggestions.
I also started Hypnobirthing...a wonderful way to get myself into a state of mind to deliver my boogie drug free! The more I learn, the more excited I get about it! Now I just need Daniel on board! LOL He's been traveling so much in the last 6 months; that we really aren't connected in regards to delivery!! Luckily, he has told his boss that he will not travel out of the state starting September 1st!! YAY. So hopefully Daniel and I can get on track on how to figure all this out!! LOL
I have a baby shower coming up next weekend; the 27th...I'm so grateful to have a wonderful friend who offered to throw me a shower...Tricia Contreras!! I can't thank her enough!! I will definitely post pictures of the baby shower afterwards!! Should be tons of fun! YAY!!
We're still trying to set up and finish the baby room....with Daniel's travels, I really can't hang up a curtain rod! LOL So been washing baby clothes and blankets and trying to set something up...not really sure what I"m doing! LOL
We also started the "talk" about if its a boy, whether or not we will circumcise......after much research, we've decided that we will not snip our little boy (if he is one in there) There's no medical reason to do it and its been researched that a baby will hemorrhage by losing only 1 oz of blood...that's such a small amount that I'm not willing to risk the life of my baby. Also, statistics show that circumcision isn't popular anymore, despite what most people thing. Even insurance companies will not cover the cost of it for newborns since it isn't medically necessary; that should be proof enough that society now only does it for aesthetic reasons, not for any other reason!
Well off to do some more work; trying to get things organized for Kerry, the awesome nurse/FA who will be covering my facility while I"m out for 12 weeks of maternity leave! I'm honestly excited about all the time off...its been so chaotic that I'm needing the time away; even though it is for a very tough job; but it'll be wonderful to be away from work for a while! Well I will post again soon. I can't believe that in 7 weeks we will get to meet this little booger that nudges me every day!! And to find out what the heck it is!!!! Boy or Girl?!?!?

Yay on the decision to not circ! So good that you did your research. Once you look into it, it seems crazy that anyone still does it. And yes, 60 some-odd percent of boys are NOT circumcised right now. Which is totally awesome :)
