Baby Watch – Week #11
Oct 21st 2009AdamBaby Updates
Hello all, welcome back to Baby Watch! We are at week 11 now and things are progressing nicely. This week we had only one interesting development and that was Erin coming down with the Flu. She said she wasn’t feeling that well when she went to bed on Thursday night, and when I got up Friday morning she had only made it to the couch rather then work. Later that day we ended up at the doctors because I was told repeatedly by Erin that she was going to die. And if I am being honest typically when she gets sick I don’t hear a whole lot of whining, unlike myself who requires a full time nurse if my allergies act up. Anyway, we went to the doctor where they determined she did in fact have the flu and a 102 degree temperature. They also said she could even have H1N1 but since the test for H1N1 takes two days they said she needed to start treatment right away. Then as fast as it came on, it went away. Saturday morning she was feeling much better, and by Sunday night it was pretty much gone.
Other then that we have started getting what is going to be the babies new room ready. Cleaning up and getting some of the junk out, as well as making a trip to Home Depot for some paint. We also went to Babies-R-Us in order to get a wallpaper border that matching the crib set Erin wants. While we were there we took a 
look at some of the other stuff we will be needing. Having been there multiple times buying presents for about 100 baby showers over the past few years I thought I had a good handle on some of this stuff. But are you aware that pretty much every crib in that place was $400-$500!! Dresser things, rocking chairs, strollers, high chairs, etc. All of it costs an arm and a leg!! This place is worse then buying boat parts! On a related note, I am planning on putting a kidney on EBay so if your in the market keep an eye out for that.
On to the baby site! This week they say the baby is about 1.5 inches long, or the length of your thumb. They also say all the organs are in place and over the next 8-9 weeks the baby will increase in size by 30%. Kind of random but the site also says that during week 11 the babies ears move to their final place. Neat! See ya next week!

Yeah, all that stuff DOES cost an arm & a leg (and possibly a kidney!) but really, you don’t NEED most of it. Pull a dresser drawer out and the kid can sleep there for quite some time!
