It's been an eventful few days! Daddy P arrived in town with the doggy. Our car made it here safely yesterday. We found out that our belongings won't be here until Tuesday (arg!) but Mayflower says they will pay us $125 days for each of the five days late it will be...
But today took the cake!
We found: an obgyn. She's GREAT. Daddy P and I both left the office and you could hear a shared sigh of relief. Every part of our experience was opposite the last. She took a lot of time to just get to know us and find out about us. She had already reviewed all my medical chart in detail. She praised our prenatal care (always a good thing when you think you've been getting good prenatal care!) but added an iron supplement since I show up as still anemic. Her philosophy on childbirth matches ours... Just all around good fit. Plus she's a Rice U. grad and everyone knows that an owl is trustworthy.
We found: a rocking chair! It's really more of a glider/recliner/super-comfy-I-might-sleep-there-every-night chair. Apparently we did so in the knick of time. It is going to take 6-8 weeks to arrive!! But it is glorious and I love it, and it's cute enough that it will totally fit in with our living room furniture when it is done in the baby's room. Thank you, Grandma, for treating us (and Baby G) to such a wonderful early-shower present.
We completed: painting Baby G's room! Within a day we decided to paint, picked colors (amazing for us, when 3 months is our shortest record paint-picking time so far), and painted the whole room. It's nice. We really like it, but it might make us reconsider our nursery decorations that we've registered for. The colors prolly won't work together super duper well. We will see...
We started: teaching Elly she cannot go in the baby's room. After two days now of watching us paint but not being allowed to cross the threshold, she currently walks upstairs and promptly lies down in the hall so she can see in the bedroom. Not too shabby. I'm under no illusions that this will last, but she's learning.
