Today was supposed to be another appointment with our ObGyn, but she had to reschedule for family reasons. Good thing, too, since we aren't quite done with our birthing plan and we wanted to discuss it with the Dr.

Jfer still got to do her gestational diabetes test which consists of drinking a bottle of Glucola (50g of glucose) and then getting her blood drawn. To me Glucola (which has nothing to do with Swiss herbal drops) looked pretty nasty, but it's probably not much different from an orange flavored soda pop. Interestingly enough, some physicians use Jelly Beans for the same test.

My baby involvement is consisting of setting up a baby page which, at this point, doesn't really have much content. That and doing baby gear research be the water cooler and online.

After procrastinating as long as we could, we went and faced Babies'R'Us. And I thought registering for a wedding was a chore!

We spent several hours with our checklist and a barcode scanner (crappy UI, if you ask me) wondering what the hell all this stuff is that you're supposed to get. I made an emergency phone call -- and discovered that I'm perfectly capable of asking my cousin "whether she pumps" -- and we evesdropped on other shoppers who seemed to have a clue. They really should tell you to bring along a pragmatic mother who's recently been through this all. As it is, we decided to put stuff on the list that we may or may not use and plan to vigorously take advantage of the store's exchange policy. I must say that those nursing rockers felt awfully comfortable after a couple of hours of pink and blue exposure.

We still need to narrow down our stroller preferences and decide on what type of bottles to use and, really, a bunch of other things we didn't have the energy for. We didn't bother with clothes or toys, but I like primary colors and Baby Einstein.
