Next Appointment on the 27th

We were happy to hear from the doctor's office that our next appointment will be at their new Westchase office, which is finally opening! Better late than never.

This weekend, we bought a diaper changing topper along with a pad and purple cover. The topper is very nice and extends out so that the baby can be changed with her feet facing out instead of from the side. It attaches to the dresser with brackets in the back. The plan is to match the dresser to the topper, which is a distressed white.

Sierra is also doing her part in preparing for the baby, as she spent Sunday morning at PetSmart getting a very close shave and a bath. We're hoping that will keep her shedding down, since it was out of control. If it works out, she'll be getting another shave in late December. The groomers also told us about a pet nail grinder/buffing tool that makes dog nails softer and not sharp, so we'll be looking into getting one of those too.

Jessica's Birthday

We've been reading more to the baby, who has now heard a couple more Dr. Seuss books and Make Way For Ducklings. The books say the baby is able to recognize voices now, so hopefully she's listening!

Jessica's birthday is the 21st, so wish her a Happy Birthday!

The next baby appointment is on the 27th and we have child birth classes scheduled starting November 14!

We haven't bought any furniture yet, but hopefully we'll get it done this weekend.

Baby Stuff

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Loewy, the baby now has bedding, more clothes, blankets, towels, toys, books, and bibs. They really helped us get started on the huge list of things that the baby needs. We are still searching for furniture. We spent yesterday and today looking for a crib and dresser (that we will also use as the changing table). Then we have to decide how and when to set up the nursery.

Brad read the baby her first book, Go dog go, that his parents gave her. It was very sweet.
