Check, Check, Check!

It has been a VERY busy weekend, but we have checked so many things off of the baby checklist. On Saturday, we took a breastfeeding class at the hospital. When I registered for it, I was planning to go by myself, but the lady in registration said that husbands are encouraged to attend, and that they almost always do. So, Matt came along, and we both worried the whole way there that he would be the only guy to show up. But, the class was full of couples, and I was so thankful that Matt was there & I didn't show up alone. The class was very informative, and we both learned a lot.

After the class, we headed out to celebrate some birthdays. My friend Olivia's daugher, Audrina, turned 1 on Sunday, and her birthday party was Saturday. It was a polka dot themed party, and everything was so cute. I'm including a picture of the birthday girl because most of the people who follow this blog know Olivia and Jordan, and also because Audrina is just too cute not to share. Even with Goldfish in her mouth. :)

After Audrina's birthday party, we went out to a big birthday bash to celebrate the 60th birthday of Matt's Mom, Dad, and Uncle Danny. It was great to see lots of family!

On Sunday, we had our tour of the Labor and Delivery, and the Mother/Baby units at the hospital. It was great to get familiar with the check-in process, and to see all of the rooms so that it doesn't feel so foreign when we get there on the big day. The hospital is very nice, and it's so exciting to think that we will be heading back there very soon to meet our little one!

Tonight, we went and met with the pediatrician (Matt didn't try to cut off any appendages in an attempt to get out of it this time, lol). The pediatrician was SO nice. He sat down with us for 50 minutes and told us all about the practice and his philosophies. He took the time to answer all of our questions (which, surprisingly, we didn't have many after he went over everything so thoroughly!). We both felt really good about him and the practice, and it's a huge relief to have that decision made.

I think that's about it. 3 items off the checklist, 58 more to go! Okay, not really, but it feels like it, and time is flying!!!! Here is this week's belly picture at 33 weeks, 3 days:
