Last night Daisy decided that we need practice for getting up in the middle of the night to feed Baby Cider. I got up around 3am for a normal trip to the bathroom when I noticed that Daisy had gotten sick all over the house. Josh and I spend 30 to 45 minutes cleaning up her mess. The entire time Cider was kicking me. It was like she was taunting me. Hopefully diaper changing and feeding will be a tad more glamorous then cleaning up after Daisy. Daisy has a vet appointment later this morning. Hopefully she will be feeling better soon and we will not have a repeat performance tonight.

Tick Tock
Today we had yet another OB appointment. We now are in the exciting period when we get to see the doctor ever week until we have the baby. The doctor did a check of me and the baby. She is still high and no dilation. Looks like no baby this week which is a good thing since I am planning to pack the hospital bag tomorrow and Josh is going to get the car seat inspected tomorrow as well.

Hospital Round Two
Today Josh and I toured the INOVA Fair Oaks Hospital. Since we do not know which hospital I will deliver at we had to check them both out. We had already previously toured INOVA Fairfax. I am not quiet sure why but I felt better about the Fair Oaks Hospital. But the decision most likely will not be mine to make.
Yesterday we had an OB appointment. Both Cider and I are doing well. Seems like the clock is quickly ticking down to due day. When we are at home my due date seems so far away - six weeks. But when we are at the doctor it feels like it could happen any moment. Scary!

Hips Don't Lie - Take Two
With the weather being so nice I get jealous of all the people I see out and about running. I have really missed it and cannot wait to get back into it once Cider is born. However, for the past week I would be happy if I could walk without pain. Cider has shifted and is now putting pressure on the nerve that is connected to my left hip. When I walk it pretty much feels like someone stabbed me with a steak knife. Everyone makes note of the fact that I'm starting to waddle. It is not the baby weight, it is the pain.
I am getting so excited for her big arrival. My due date is seven weeks away; however, full term is only four weeks away. So scary to believe that next month we will have a baby at some point. We are slowly getting ready for her arrival. I have my last shower tomorrow. After that we will beginning figuring out what we have and what we still need to buy (and probably what we need to return, sorry guys). As well as setting things up and putting them where they go.
At my shower last week, I received the mirror for the car that allows me to see Cider in her seat while I am driving. It also plays music and lights up for the baby's benefit. I was really excited about it so I put the batteries in and installed it into my car. It has been in there ever since. Last Sunday, Josh thought we should start practicing taking the car seat with us. Imagine the looks people would give us if we showed up with a stuffed animal in an infant car seat. They would probably think we need to be committed. No worries, we did not really take the seat with us. Whenever I am leaving the house, I do tell Daisy that she is in charge of the baby while we are gone. Maybe we can train her to a dog nanny like in Peter Pan.

Preschool Moms
I am not sure I have ever mentioned it on this blog, but I have the best set of preschool moms. They have been a great group of women that I have loved getting to know this past school year. Ever since I announced I was pregnant they have been extremely supportive, caring and generous. I do not think a day goes by that everyone of them asks how my pregnancy is going.
Last Wednesday night they got together and through me (and another expecting mom) a baby shower. I had a lovely evening with them - chatting and eating. Three plus hours on a school night just flew by.
To the preschool moms - Thank you for everything you have provided us with this past year. I have been so blessed by all you women. I am so luckily to have had you all as class moms this past school year. I am so thankful for your friendships and all your wisdom. I hope we will get to see each other in the future. Want to grab some coffee at Buzz?
