Last week Chad and I went to visit a daycare here in town. We both really loved it. It seems like a good option for us for the first year (before the baby can go to the university's child development center) if Chad continues working. Man, daycare is PRICEY. Thank goodness we live in Stillwater which has such a low cost of living. I can't imagine if we lived in a big city. We haven't fully decided yet that this is the road we'll take. The daycare is great though. It is research-based, which is important to me. They also have video cameras in each room so we can just check in on the baby whenever we want. It's also practically on the way to both of our jobs.
Yesterday we went to the city to make some final decisions on registry items. We also bought the mattress which was one of the things that excited me the most! We had put the crib together over the weekend and I couldn't wait to see what it looked like! I bet you can't wait to see it either. Here is a little preview! You can also see how much the puppies love the new room.
Chad and I also start child birth and newborn/infant care classes tonight. It is going to be so weird to be the student again when I've gotten used to the role of professor! The classes are an hour a week for four weeks. It's a little early to be taking them but probably better to get them out of the way, in case Smudge makes an early appearance or February's weather makes it difficult to attend. Chad also didn't want to have to take all the classes smooshed together (there is also a breathing class and a breast-feeding class to take once these are finished).
And because everyone seems to like seeing a big belly...here are the pictures from the last two weeks:
