Weighing in and other random baby thoughts

Yesterday I had my monthly OB appointment.  As usual I did not get on the scale since last month.  I got on and nearly fell off.  I've put on another 8 lbs which brings me to 148 lbs!!!!  No wonder my back has started to hurt me.

I've also started to call around and really prepare for various baby things. 

A few weeks ago I went with Camilla to Babies' R Us to start my registry.  Thankfully she was with me or else I would have turned around and left.  I did not find it fun at all and it was too overwhelming.  I am also frustrated with their site as on-line I'll sign up for items in cream or some other neutral colour and it somehow changes to blue.

In a couple of weeks I will be going to Moms to be and More and will hopefully have a better experience there.  I know someone else who went there and said they were much more knowledgeable.

I also started calling around for daycares.  I'm on a couple of waitlists now but feel like it's kind of a waste.  The one's located in the downtown core are really hard to get into.  I'm on the waitlist but at the bottom as top priority goes to those who work in the building.

Then I moved on to pediatricians and have been told to call back in a month as they aren't currently accepting new patients.  How do you find child care in the city???????

And my final rant/miscellaneous musings...why didn't anyone ever tell me about the stomach pains?  Not cramps or indigestion but the skin pains that you get as your body is stretching.  That was new and uncomfortable and some days just downright painful.
