Checklist update

Every time I check something off, I'll update. Maybe there will be interesting information to share, too. Exciting!



1. Make sure you're really pregnant | Check!
    The proof is in the pictures!
2. Take your prenatal vitamin | Check!
    Although I did find out mine may be expired, so I am calling the doctor tomorrow to see if I can get new ones from her, or if I should just get some OTC prenatals at the pharmacy
4. Choose a caregiver | Check!
    I am in love with my doctor. I CANNOT wait to go see her at my appointment! Bonus: She does deliveries at my hospital of choice! (Yes, I planned it that way)
5. Make a prenatal appointment | Check!
    June 21st, baby!
6. Consult your caregiver about medications you're taking | Check!
    I'm not taking anything
7. If you smoke, quit | Check!
    Not an issue
8. Stop drinking alcohol | Check!
    Groannnn. No more Moscato :(
9. Cut down on caffeine | Check!
    I'm not a coffee drinker. We just finished our last case of Mountain Dew and will not be buying any more. That's right, Cor. If I don't get Mtn. Dew, you don't get Mtn. Dew. Sorry!
10. Make sure your activities are pregnancy safe | Check!
     It took several conversations between Dr.VF, the nurse, and I, but I am allowed to continue climbing, as long as I listen to my body and HYDRATE!
11. Start avoiding hazardous foods | Check!
      No fresh deli meats for me!
15. Go to bed early | Check!
      Like this was an option- I am tired around 8:30PM. Ahhh, motherhood
18. Think about when and how you'll announce your pregnancy | Check!
      We have a bit of a timeline set up with ideas. The announcements have begun
19. Follow your baby's development | Check!
      I get weekly email updates and read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" like it's my job
20. Join your birth club | Check!
      I'm part of a wonderful group of women on an online forum all due around the same time I am
21. Start taking belly photos | Check!
      See "4 Weeks" blog post
28. Start a baby name list | Check!
      Start a list?! We've had names picked out for months!
29. Drink water | Check!
      I'm going to be honest. I am kicking ass at drinking a ton of water every day. My house is now almost entirely out of toilet paper though. I pee 250 times a day, I swear
36. Write down a pregnancy memory | Check!
      That's what this blog is for!

Making Progress!
