Yesterday Lindsey and I picked up a crib for the baby. We’ve been watching the cribs on Craigslist for a few months in hopes of finding a really nice second-hand one. It paid off!

Last night Lindsey and I had our first baby class, along with about fifteen other expectant couples. The class was better than I expected. We learned about the birthing process and the first couple days following.
I did find some of the other classmates to be a bit comical. We were seated behind a nerdy-looking couple who couldn’t keep their hands off each other. The guy could have been Bill Gates’ twin, and the girl was quite a bit younger. Each time he leaned in for a kiss neither Lindsey nor I could see the instructor. During introductions he announced that he already had three children and three grand-children with another mother. I guess you could say he was alumni.
Overall the class was very informative, and the instructor was great. Next time we’ll choose our seats more carefully.

One of the common screening tests during pregnancy looks for gestational diabetes. The test involves drinking a bottle of glucose. One hour later they do a blood draw and determine how your body responds.
The glucose drink has a reputation for being disgustingly sweet. I thought perhaps if the glucola were disguised as an orange martini, Lindsey might enjoy the experience a little more.

Bottoms up!

Blah!

Getting tipsy!

The collection of baby clothes is growing. Good thing they don’t take up much space. It looks like he’ll be very well dressed.

I’ve always been fascinated by airplanes, and one day I’ll hopefully get an opportunity to take flight lessons. For the time being the baby and I will be day dreaming about the airplanes in the nursery. The plan is to hang them from the ceiling somewhere (but not over the crib!).
