Hodge Podge

It's a new year! Yeah, I'm a little late--but it's my first post this year. Lots of things happening....

After our fun ultrasound, we went to our last appointment with our doc. Yep, she moved. Awesome. So we were on the 'hunt' (which includes looking at a list, determining which are females, and choosing at random) for a new doc. We found one. We have an appt. with her this Friday. The #1 question was if she was ok with natural birthing. (aka she won't push me and push me and push me to get an epidural as I'm pushing and pushing and pushing) I hope we mesh! I really don't want to keep 'hunting'...

We registered for lots of fun things. That was overwhelming. Babies R Us and Target in one shabang. Babies R Us was far more flabbergasting (could've just made that up). An entire store dedicated to babies? Please. I think I was most shocked at the amount of OPTIONS within each category. Really, people? Let's narrow this down. But, lots of moms helped me out by letting me know the must-haves and the have-nots. Definitely helpful.

I've been feeling lots of things going on inside my body. From random pains to the moving and shifting of muscles and organs to random puke episodes, it's been a wild 2 weeks. But I just attribute everything to the little guy. I'll keep assuming it's all normal until I'm told otherwise...I guess. And, I can feel him kicking and punching, too! Pretty fun. Mike tries to feel as well...he says he can't tell the difference between the pulse in his hand and the kick. Ha. It feels WAY bigger to me...I guess that's a good thing.

Well, off to grade some papers before hitting the grind of school tomorrow. Gotta love being a teacher...love the breaks, hate all the extra work involved.
