Today is COLD! What happened, spring??? We have cherry blossoms all over DC and then out of the blue, snow this morning? As a result of this winter-spring combo, PK has a chill *and* I have allergies, worst of both worlds! What's nice and unexpected are the daffodils that came up in the back yard, which we didn't even plant ourselves, but keep coming up. Our hibiscus is hanging on by a thread, which means that they look pretty dead but I snapped a twig and there is a green thread inside. Cross your fingers! And in the afternoon we planted California poppies, let's see if they take. It had better not stay cold because then we're going to need little baby flannel/fleece versions of everything that we have in cotton/muslin. Oy spring! Wake up!
Last week we interviewed the pediatrician nearest our house who takes BCBS insurance, and she seems very nice, so I guess we are going with Dr Sweeney! Our big fat baby manual also just came in the mail also. Poor PK is just getting through the Birth Partner, and now he has a whole new set of homework to do, on top of all the furniture he is building, boxes he is carrying, dishes he is washing etc. This baby better be good because she has a gem of a daddy.
Weekends go by very quick here what with all this stuff... yesterday we made a birth plan (which essentially is a set of instructions for your nurses and doctor in the hospital), and we stocked the changing table with diapers and wipes and washed all the carseat/bassinet upholstery so now it looks good as new. Today we cleaned a bit more, put down the new rug, which looks great in the nursery and tried to figure out if we need more seating in there and then what to get ... We still need to wash everything else in baby detergent before we start putting in the sheets and putting the clothes away. And lots of furniture still left to move around, but they say babies don't see very clearly for a little while, so hopefully she won't mind if not everything is in its final final place ;).
Also, here's our baby bump picture from last week:
