16 Week Checkup

Today, I went with Megan to her 16 week checkup.  Nothing too exciting, except for this time I did get to hear the actual heartbeat which was really cool (I previously complained that I missed this the first time).  However, the next checkup that is tentatively scheduled for June 7th, they are going to try and determine the sex of the baby.  Hopefully we will be able to find out, but Megan is convinced our child will keep it's legs closed throughout the duration of the pregnancy and we won't know until the delivery room!

Mother's Day - Unborn Edition

For Mother's Day, I got Megan a Snoogle.  It's a popular body pillow specifically for pregnant women.  Megan's been wrapping herself around multiple pillows in an effort to get comfortable while sleeping.  The Snoogle should make this much easier.  It's C shape is also specifically advantageous for circumventing a large pregnant belly when she gets to that point.

We've also been looking for an excuse to go to Kyoto, because they are supposed to have the best hibachi around these parts.  So, we went tonight since it was a special occasion.  It was really good, but I still don't think as good as Kobe Steakhouse back home which is hard to beat.

Happy Mother's (to be) Day!

Furniture Ordered

It's a little early, but we found some furniture that we really like and were able to get a decent deal that was expiring soon.  We've been keeping our eyes open at quite a few places and ended up really liking the Summer Infant Brayden Collection.  We're a big fan of dark wood and the dark cherry finish that this collection comes in is exactly what we were looking for.  We ordered the crib, combo dresser, drawer dresser, and conversion kit and should be getting it in the next couple of weeks.  The combo dresser seems like a nice multi-purpose piece of furniture when compared to a single function changing table.  The conversion kit is to eventually convert the crib into a full bed.  This is, of course, assuming the crib is still in one piece by the time the child needs a full bed.
