There's not much to report right now. We toured the hospital birth center a couple weeks ago and are generally pretty happy with it. Dan was impressed but it's been awhile since he's seen a maternity ward and they've changed a lot in that time. The labor rooms have birth balls and a jacuzzi so I'm happy - I plan on using that tub at some point but we'll see. I'm at the point in the pregnancy where I'll be going to the doctor every two weeks as opposed to every month. The next appointment is Tuesday, and Wednesday we finally start our Bradley birth class!

I've been worried about getting things ready - most likely because I want to start nesting - but also just to be ready. Things are trickling in a bit and since our adoptive family has decided they want to have a baby shower we are waiting on that before we make any final major purchases. Although we have seen a few deals that we couldn't pass up, like the crib mattress we found on craigslist for $10. Once we are ready to put her in the crib we are set thanks to Aunt Janice and her awesome crib sheets - they fit perfect! Today we hit some garage sales in the area and lucked into a bassinet for $25 - it was close too, three other people were looking at it right as we got there. So now baby has clothes and a place to sleep. Aunt Janice is doubly awesome since she's making some diapers for the baby and they are great - I wish I were half as talented! I'm making some cloth wipes just because I had the cloth laying around but we'll probably buy the diaper covers. So really the only big thing left that we "need" before Lily gets here is the car seat. So I guess I don't really need to worry but I feel like there's something I should be doing to get ready and I don't know what it is!
