Baby news

Not too much to report on the baby front. I had my second doctors appointment last Tuesday and all is still well. My blood pressure was more normal than last time. I'm always a tad on the high side, but I think that first appointment I was just really nervous. Anyway, they also said I'm slightly anemic (low in iron I think), but it wasn't so low that they felt I need to take additional iron. My mom got quite anemic with both me and my sister to where they put her on iron supplements so I need to remember to mention that to the doctor next time.

We still don't know if it's a boy or girl. However, we do have another ultrasound scheduled for June 7th and, as long as the baby cooperates, we should be finding out what it is then.

But, baby's heartbeat is strong and healthy and I think I felt it move last week and again a couple days ago. It was so weird. It felt like a bunch of little bubbles moving in a wave across my lower belly.

Oh, D and I went and did a little baby shopping yesterday. We got a bassinet that had Snoopy coverings and a light blue mattress cover. It is oh so incredibly cute! We got it at a second hand store and the lady hadn't had a chance to clean it up, but we took it anyway because she was gonna up the price after she'd cleaned it. Once we get it cleaned I'll try and remember to post a picture of it. We also got a camouflage onsie, two pair of green camo shorts, one pair of gray camo shorts, a package of baby washcloths, and a winnie the pooh baby hat. Too cute for words. Obviously, boy or girl, it's going to be a camo wearing baby.

We also price shopped for strollers, car seats, and play pens at Walmart. Wow...amazing the kind of money you can tie up in those things. I think we're definitely gonna be hitting some garage sales and looking on craigslist for some things.

Well, that's all for now. Crossing my fingers that the little critter is cooperative on the next appointment and we can find out what it is. I'm definitely leaning more towards wanting a boy...I think D is, too.
