Weekend update

Happy 34 weeks!  Not too much to report this week.  Billy and I've had a relaxing weekend.  I find myself nesting in anyway I can.  I messed around with the car seat some yesterday...will plan to get the car seats bases installed in both cars in the next couple of weeks and head to the Fire Department to get them to inspect and make sure lil' fryebaby will be safe and sound.  Today I took all the coverings off our array of "baby-be-happy" devices (swings, mamaroo, playmats, etc.) and washed all of those.  It was nice to get all those hand-me-downs sparkling and new, and good to know that everything washed well...since I'm sure this will be just the first of many washes for those items.  I think I'm slowly running out of things to do to prep for baby...here's a list of what I can think of right now:

-Read books (reading book on childbirth recommended by our teacher; reading book on breastfeeding)
-Watch "Happiest Baby on the Block" DVD recommended by Joanna
-Continue to do pregnancy stretches and workouts
-Visit pediatricians in Ashburn and decide which practice we want to go with
-Tour the hospital (we've registered for a tour tomorrow!)
-Talk to hospital about ordering breast pump and other supplies related to pumping (thank goodness all will be covered by my insurance :)
-Read up on vaccines and vaccine schedules
-Decorate for Christmas in November (we decided we want to decorate for Christmas since ALL our family will be visiting in December...but can't wait until after Thanksgiving to do so)
-Hang baby monitor camera on the wall (played around with the baby monitor this morning...it is SO AMAZING...who knew these things were so advanced!)
-Enjoy final outings with friends before becoming a mommy :)
-Buy nursing bras
-Talk to neighbor mom about her teenage daughter, Olivia, visiting me while on maternity leave and be my "mommy's helper" occassionally...and hopefully have her become a baby sitter in the future!
-Make-ahead meals
-Pack hospital bag
-Take a day off from work and visit the daycare where we have pre-registered

Ok, guess I haven't quite run out just yet.  And, I bet there's more...let me know what I'm forgetting :)

For anyone looking for a baby bump update, here's a cute pic from Billy and I's anniversary brunch date at Hotel Tabard Inn in DC yesterday.

Just thought of another thing I need to do...

Update the Green Monster scoreboard in the nursery with the latest win by the Red Sox last night!!!  Red Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship series (4 games to 2 games) in Boston last night.  Oh how Billy and I wish we could have been there.  With that said, they're headed to the WORLD SERIES against the St. Louis Cardinals!  I plan on updating the scoreboard after each game during the series (even though the real green monster is not updated when they're away...) and will post the results for all of you.

Go SOX!
