Baby's First Gift

Last weekend Stacey brought over the baby's first gift. Actually it was a whole gift bag filled with pregnancy books, a couple cute maternity dresses, and a baby onesie that says "Instructions Not Included". Ain't that the truth! The sight of the tiny little onesie actually scared the crap out of me - it was so small. I don't think it would have fit Kitty XL. I can't believe I'm going to be responsible for something that tiny. I don't know anything about babies! Luckily one of the books Stacey gave me was What To Expect - The First Year. Much needed! Thanks Auntie!

The onesie also reminded me of my mom telling me all the baby clothes gifts she received (size 0-3 months) she had to dump after the first 2 weeks because I was so tall (well she says long). I wonder if my baby will be tall like me?

Changed Doctors

I originally chose Dr. Gary Bernard as my OB, because my health insurance only gave me a choice of OB's in Indio or Palm Springs. I chose Indio because it's closer to my home and work, and in looking at Dr. Bernard's website he delivers in Indio at JFK and in Rancho Mirage at Eisenhower. I was very happy about Eisenhower because it's supposed to be one of the top 100 hospitals in the country. Well after my first visit to Dr. Bernard's office I found out he only delivers at JFK. The staff there was cool enough, but I definitely do not want to deliver at JFK.

I have now changed to Dr. Lilia Pacini in Palm Springs because she delivers at the Desert Regional Medical Center hospital in Palm Springs, and she also has a satellite office in La Quinta that I can go to every other visit! Not having to drive to PS every time is a big help, but not only that, her office is one of 2 in the desert that does the 3-D ultrasound imaging. That should be interesting! My first visit is Feb 13th. Mike and I are on vacation that week so he can go with me.

Ultrasound pic

Ultrasound image from Jan 11th. Too bad they don't have video - the ultrasound technician (who was a really cool Russian woman - and taller than me!) was making measurements of the ultrasound image and caught the baby dancing. She turned the monitor to me and said "Look Look!". It was pretty funny. Kind of an 80's style dance - so I'm not sure if the dancing abilities came from Mike or me.

We're Pregnant!

I started this blog as both a pregnancy diary and a place where family and friends can come for updates.
I'm about 3 months pregnant, the due date is July 28th. The only difficulty I've really had is major fatigue. Hopefully it will wear off soon! I've been eatting super healthfully lately, so hopefully that will help.
