Well, all has been going well. We have been working ourselves to death the last couple of weekends and have finished painting the nursery and setting up the baby's furniture. I ordered a rocking cradle because I wanted to have it in our room right by the bed for convenience, and when we assembled it, it turned out to be HUGE, so I'm going to have to stash my bedside table somewhere else while the cradle is on my side of the bed.
One weekend when we were working on the room, I got super worn out and a little light headed and my heart was hammering. I'd forgotten to take my prenatal vitamin the night before, which rarely happens, so I think maybe my iron got really low. I go in for my next visit tomorrow morning, so they're going to test it. And I was a little worried about being tired all the time and tested my blood pressure on those sit-down supermarket machines and it was 140/70. I e-mailed my midwife and she said it wasn't anything to worry about since I'd been walking around the shopping center for an hour, and they don't get concerned until the bottom number gets high. So that was a big relief.
I went to a cloth diapering class on Monday night and met up with The Diaper Fairy, a lady who runs a diaper laundering service in our town. She gave us the run down on what to buy and how the laundering service works, and also how to launder at home if we choose. Super helpful. She also had a ton of diaper covers and diapering systems to show us, so we got to play with all the different types. I like the Flips the best.
Today was our first Bradley Method class. It was fun to meet the other couples. One of them is due the same day as me and is using the same midwife practice and hospital. She seemed nice. The teacher gave us a bunch of exercises to learn, so I need to start doing them. And also walking more. For real.
