Today is the first day of my third (and last) trimester, 12 more weeks until Tommy is due. Matt and I have been busy putting the nursery together - last Sunday I worked and came home to a painted nursery! Such a great surprise!! Just a few more finishing touches like artwork on the walls and some shelves up and we are ready for baby.
Last week we went to the OB again, everything checked out just fine. From now on I will be going every 2 weeks until we get to 36 weeks and then it's every week until delivery. After our appointment, Matt and I went to tour the day care center that is at the hospital I work at. I've been on the waiting since I was about 5 weeks pregnant - needless to say it's a very popular day care. Several friends and co-workers have recommended the day care, which makes me feel much better. The plan is to have Tommy at day care 3 days per week, if I'm working the weekend that week then he will only have to go 2 days during the week, but we still have to pay for 3 so that means one day off for mommy possibly - you know to clean the house or run errands OR have a mani/pedi and lunch with the girls :)
I've been reading the book, "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby" on the recommendation of Travis & Laura and my friend Julie. The book emphasizes how important sleep and a routine is for infants. Being a NICU nurse, I'm very big on having the baby on a schedule for eating and sleeping. I'm just hoping the baby starts sleeping through the night sooner rather than later!
