The Nursery

I am now going to the OB every two weeks for check-ups. I guess this means I'm getting down to the wire! He didn't do an ultrasound, but just checked on how I was progressing - my weight gain (which he said is perfect! whew! :)), urinalysis and heartbeat of the baby (which is also perfect! :)).
Also, I've been told that walking helps with bringing on labor, so I've starting walking with my girl friend at work 3 days a week. I've found that it's helped position the baby better because I don't get as much back pain and she's laid off of my sciatica since I've starting walking.
Mark and I (with Mike Phi's help ;)) have finally started on the nursery! yay! We cleared out the guest room and moved it to Mark's studio. Mark got kicked out of his studio and most of his animation stuff has moved to the living room and tv room. So now the guest room is the baby's room. Mark assembled the crib and we cleared out half of the closet, so it's starting to come together. I still need to go through the BAGS of clothes we got from Carlo and Zsandra. And now that the baby showers have started (I had one at work last week), I really need to start getting organized! My last day at work is next Friday, so I plan to line the dresser and start putting away her clothes on my first day off work. Lots of stuff to still prepare for.
I'm getting a little nervous about the whole labor/delivery process, but I'm sure everything will be fine.
Mark and I will be going to a 'Baby Beginnings' class tonight at the hospital where we will be delivering. We'll be learning about breastfeeding, diapering, bathing, swaddling, feeding, sleeping, etc. Hopefully it will be better, or at least more interesting and hands-on, than the Baby Birthing class we took for 6 long weeks!

I am 34 weeks today and this is what my baby is doing: http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/calendar/week34
