I am a little behind on January activites, mainly due to the "winter storm 2011". I don't say this lightly, as I know many of you had alot of snow and very bad traveling conditions for the past week. But, around our house, it was really only bad for about 2 days. We were off work for several days, and since my husband was pulling on the tigers in Arizona I was iced in with Amos. We had
lots of bonding time. I am really wondering what he is going to think when Baby O comes. Anyway, thanks to all of my sweet friends and fam who called to check on me. I definitely am in nesting mode. I washed lots of baby items, worked on organizing the nursery, and cleaned out several closets. It felt great to be productive. I started packing my hospital bag because James said "if you don't have it packed and go into labor, I will just grab your toothbrush." Spoken like a true dentist. Any tips from moms out there on what is needed?
Last Friday we celebrated one of my best friends bdays with a delicious dinner at the Tavern on the Summit (the one on the bottom). So fun! ps-they have the BEST sweet potatoe fries ever...and I am not just saying that bc I am pregnant!

What I learned about my hospital bag:
1. I wanted to stay in the hospital gown because it was just easier, but one nurse made a comment about it, so I changed into the pj's I packed. Pack several.
2. I didn't pack JM any clothes other than his going home outfit- and then the nurses in the NICU wanted to know what I had for him to wear. Everything I had read said not to pack them anything because they would wear the hospital tshirts. Yeah- we had to make a tshirt into pants that night until Michael could go home and get something for our poor child.
3. Pack something for your feet- slippers, socks, something.
4. Before you leave the hospital, pack the hospital "goodies" and take them home with you. It's not stealing- whatever you don't use, they HAVE to throw away. And they have the best stuff- and most of it you can't buy at the drugstore. I was so glad to have my own little "hospital stash" when I got home.
