7 Months Down....

It's amazing that I am now 7 months pregnant and only 12 weeks to go!! We still have a lot of preparation to do!! I am definitely looking and feeling more pregnant now and I'm even having people comment on how he's poking out there now. He is!

Last night we went to a New Baby Seminar at a Pediatrician's office that we were considering. They showed us a video regarding the 5 S's. If you're not familiar with Dr. Karp and the book 'The Happiest Baby on the Block', he basically teaches 5 solutions to calm a crying baby. (Swaddle, Swing, Side, Sssh and Suck) You can have your baby quiet and calm in 5 seconds! He makes it look so easy!! So, we took some notes and hope this technique works. By the way, we did decide to go with this particular pediatrician's office. Luckily, its close to the house and our daycare so it works out well.

I had a dreaded dentist appointment this morning, which I was really worried about. I haven't enjoyed brushing my teeth since the beginning of my pregnancy. Its the gag reflex every time!! I haven't flossed in months!! Anyways, the appointment wasn't bad at all and I made sure to warn the hygienist up front. Luckily, she has a 1 yr old and said she remembers those days vividly and took it easy on me. Whew!

Everything else is going well. Just waiting for November and looking forward to the 3 day holiday weekend!!
