Calendar of Events
Um, why didn't I put my preggo weeks on my day planner earlier? Oh, yeah, so I could avoid reality checks like seeing that the first day of classes, Sept 13, is my Week 30.
Awwww, I'm so touched: My mom says my aunts (her sisters) Jeanne and Laura are throwing me a tiny family baby shower when J and I go visit MI for Canuck Thanksgiving Oct 9-11, at abt Week 34. It'll be nice to see everyone, esp since I missed the summer BBQ last weekend.
Then, my parents (and anyone else who cares to) are coming here for US Thanksgiving, Nov 25, for our second annual dinner. The idea is, of course, that there will be a very new newborn to visit.

Had a quickie OB appt today. She was thrilled that I haven't gained any weight in the past six weeks. I don't have quite the same knee-jerk positive reaction, but I comfort myself that the baby must be getting bigger and stronger, since the kicks are plentiful and detectable, by touch and sight, from the outside now (but NEVER when J is there to view or feel them--it's like a hide-and-seek game Vengeance is playing) and my waist is 0.5" bigger, for 4.5" total.
Baby HB: 156
My BP: 128/70

Woohoo: Sunday, Aug 15, will mark six months since my LMP (last menstrual period). Hurray for no bleeding!
Do tampons have expiration dates?
But, even better, my preggo ticker in the sig line of my WC posts says that there are 102 days left, meaning that this Saturday will take us down to 99 bottles of breastmilk on the wall--
C'mon, everybody, sing!--
or, ya know, not. But you get the idea. :-)

Find of the Week: Comfy Cotton (http://www.comfycotton.ca), a diaper service that serves Guelph (and everywhere else within 90 min of TO). Dude, having my cake and eating it, too! Cloth diapers, instead of dumping $45 and 70 diapers/week into a landfill, but someone else collects them each week and washes them for me. All for $15/week. T'dow!
Now I just have to learn how to use cloth diapers, b/c no one I've ever known or babysat for has used them. No. One.
Except J's great friend Katie, who is in BC answering all my silly questions by email while caring for her 9-month-old cutie. But that's not exactly a hands-on lesson in tying one on. :-/
