Thank goodness! One less thing to worry about. Travis & I found our pediatrician! Dr. Dalton in Hurst is part of Cook's Children, is part of a really great network of doctors in his practice and is really close to the house. While we didn't agree with everything he said (I think he isn't a big fan of our alternative vaccination plan), he agreed to doing what we want (which in the end is all we were looking for).
Other news, baby girl is kicking like a Stingerette. She will literally kick me so hard sometimes that it makes me sick at my stomach. However, I am really happy I feel her moving. She still is more active in the early morning and at night- which does not bode well for our sleeping patterns once she's born- but then again, this is really the only time I am sitting down consistantly.
Travis and I are working hard on the nursery. We've decided to go with soft greens, bright blues and pink accents. We really don't have a "theme" but if we were to label it, I would say it's nature. I'd like to work birds and nests and tree branches. I attached pictures of our bedding fabric, furniture, etc. Nothing too babyish or grown up. On top of still having to order our furniture, we have a few construction TO DOs on our list but nothing real big. Since the majority of our downstairs in stained concrete, I've asked Travis to have carpet bound like a rug and just set it in the room on a carpet pad over the stained concrete. That way the integrity of the floors isn't ruined but we can still sit on the soft floor with Baby Girl. We are also making a few changes to the closet so we make the most of our storage. Thanks ahead of time to D, Braden, Dawson and Braggston! = )
Still feeling really good. I have a lot more energy during month 5 than I have had since I first got pregnant so I'm trying to get as much done as possible while I still can. I go in week after next for my glucose test, which I'm not thrilled about BUT Mom gets to go to my appointment with me. She'll get to hear Baby Girl's heartbeat for the first time, which should be fun.
And finally, I have my baby shower soon! I cannot wait! I literally have not had a shower for 7 years now. That's what happens when you get married and then don't have kids for 7 years. = )
Hope everyone's 2011 is going well and thank you for reading our blog and staying in touch as we go through this pregnancy at WARP SPEED now.
