We went to the doctor on Friday for another ultrasound. He told us that our baby is already 6.5 lbs! ! ! ! ! We still have six weeks to go! He said the baby was about three weeks ahead of schedule, but that everything looks good. Just too good. So I freaked out a little because we are NOT ready for a child in our house. We went shopping all morning Saturday, and after spending mucho dinero we now feel much more prepared.
Now, the ultrasound machine our doctor used was not the normal one; it was really really old, and it could be off by a pound or so. I would be fine if this baby was only 5 pounds. We have another appointment in two weeks on the newer machine.
We are very happy about our shopping excursion on Saturday -- we needed to get a dresser/changing table and a crib for when the baby outgrows the bassinet. We found an ad on KSL.com for a nice dresser, so we went to this privately owned furniture store in Clearfield called Bed Haven. They had already sold the dresser in the ad, but they were trying to clear their floor models of baby furniture. We got our set for half of what it cost at Babies R Us. Yesss. The best part is that they are custom building the dressers and they deliver the furniture already assembled FOR FREE! The owners are some of our very sharp latin community friends. Me gusta mucho. When we get the room set up we'll post some photos. We also bought our stroller/car seat. I still have a long list of little things to buy, but at least now we have a way to get the baby home from the hospital and a place to keep all his stuff.
If only we could pick a name. . .
Since I didn't get you anything for your shower, will you please let me know some things that you still need so I can send you something? Thanks. It's either that, or I'll buy something that I like, but that you may not NEED.
