As my ability to sleep through the night fades, I'm grateful to know there's some quality TV on at 3 in the morning, especially since this may become somewhat of a routine when Mary-Michael arrives. I was a bit surprised that in between this family-friendly show there are some sketchy commercials with scantily-clad women you can call for a good time...
I'm also noticing that this is play time for our cats, which is not so great for their tired and impatient mother. As I write this, I am throwing 2 off the couch and hushing another that has just ran behind the Christmas tree. This is confirmation that it will not be a good idea to put Mary-Michael's bassinet outside our room or she might wake up snuggling with 3 furry creatures.
We went to the doctor yesterday for our 28 week check up and a routine glucose screening. After a hefty dose of super sugary fruit punch, we met with the doctor and asked her the dozen or so questions we came up with about natural childbirth after watching The Business of Being Born. While I felt a bit silly "interviewing" her and asking about the protocol of the hospital, I was reminded that delivering a baby is in fact a very big deal! We spend tons of time researching a new car or the best computer to buy, so why shouldn't we when it comes to bringing our baby into the world. It was a very helpful conversation - now we've just got to get through those child birth classes so I can learn how to cope through contractions! Besides this, we were very glad to know that I'm growing well, which means Mary-Michael is growing well, too! I've gained 6 pounds more since my last appt. 4 weeks ago, which confirms that all the Christmas cookies I've been eating are going somewhere. :)
