I think I felt the baby move today! The doctor said that I should start feeling something soon. He said that thin girls typically start feeling the baby pretty early on. That is exciting! I cannot wait until other people can feel it too! However, I do not want hands on my tummy all the time-especially people I do not know! I have already been warned about those people. I have some pretty crazy hormones-they better watch it! Ha! I might just punch them! Ha! Ha!
I find out the sex of the baby on July 14th. Scott is going to be at his CA course during that time. I had thought about waiting until he gets back, but I didn't want to have to wait an extra 2 weeks. Plus, he said he was fine about not going this time. He was there for the first sonogram last month. My sister is going to go with me instead. It should be neat to share the experience with another person from the family!
The playroom is almost finished! YES!!!!! I am allowing the caulk and paint to dry this weekend, and then Monday I am going to start arranging and decorating the room. I have looked forward to decorating for baby for years and years! My dad did such a great job, and I am convinced that no other baby gift will top this one! Thanks, Dad!
I found the perfect glider rocker. I love it, and I know it is going to look great in our bedroom. It is cherry wood and will have a khaki cushion. We found it at Babies R Us, and we are having to special order it. I think it is going to work well for us. It will also match the bassinet that my sister is loaning us. We plan on keeping the baby in the room with us for the first 6 months or so. Anyway, the glider has all kinds of special features, and it will really come in handy during feedings. Who knew that you could get a special breastfeeding ottoman to go with your glider? I love picking out stuff for Baby Ludwig!
Everyone keeps asking me where I am registered. Well, I am not registered anywhere yet. I am waiting until we find out the sex of the baby in July-that way I can register more specifically for the things that I need. Since Scott is going to be gone for pretty much the last 3-4 months of my pregnancy, we are going to register a little early so that we can do it together. :)
Okay, so I have decided not to read a lot of books about breastfeeding because they are militant and very discouraging (well at least the ones I have come in contact with are that way). Instead, I am talking to friends/family and getting help and advice from them. I am also going to take a class at the hospital. I have heard that the nurses at the hospital are really helpful. I am not going to hesitate to ask them for support.

"The Breastfeeding Book" by Sears was pretty helpful for me to have on hand. You don't have to read it cover to cover, but it's a great resource for when you're frustrated about something at 3am and need some troubleshooting. It's an easy read, too. I liked it a lot better than the standard LLL book "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding".
