We had a great weekend! Our daughter is signed up for soccer, we went to the pool since we have family passes this year and my husband and I got to celebrate our anniversary with a couples massage! Omg amazing!

Do any other FTMs feel like they should be "doing" more? Childcare options are in place, nursery is under construction, signed up for baby care classes... so what should be next on my checklist?

Tantruming toddler for sale. I hope I can get away to my yoga class tonight, because I need a break.

Have you researched pediatricians? Also FTM and I seem to be in the same place as you - working on the nursery, secured daycare last week, and registered for childbirth and infant CPR class. Pediatrician is next on my list. I have identified two practices I'm interested in and my next step is to set up appointments with a doctor at each one. I'm planning to do those appointments in July.

So if anyone is going to the beach anytime soon and wants a yummy beach drink, mix pineapple juice, coconut La Croix, and grenadine, it's so good!

Yes! We picked our pediatrician and we've got our newborn parents orientation at their office later this month!

Uh.. I haven't done anything

I don't even know how to go about looking for pediatricians!

Jk I DID request to register for classes.. don't know if I got in them.

You all motivated me to register DS for the sibling class at the hospital. Aside from registering baby girl for daycare and purchasing a few small items we really haven't prepared much.

You still have plenty of time! I am eager to get things done earlier because of being at risk for preterm labor - I want to make sure I've done everything I can in case baby does come early.

Are there any local moms groups in your area you could ask for pediatrician recommendations? My town has a FB group for residents and there are often people asking for pediatrician recommendations, so I took note of those as I saw them and then combined those with suggestions I've gotten from other mom friends who are not local - you want somewhere that's conveniently located to your house and that has extended hours (preferably evenings and weekends). Based on those I narrowed it down to two practices that are close to our house - one has evening and weekend hours and the other has weekend hours. I still need to decide on which doctor at each practice we are most interested in and then set up prenatal appointments.

Jeeze it sure has been slow around here lately! I just wanted to share some great news with you ladies! After months of waiting my husband finally got a phone call from our local laborers union and goes in for an assessment on the 27th to get placed at a job! This is the most perfect timing ever! He is responding great with his medication and let me tell you has it been great to have the man I married back! But if I could just ask you ladies for some positive thoughts and prayers about our house that would be great. I am now begging the bank to work with us and give us a chance to work it out since the program I was working with can't do anything now it's just me. Begging and pleading. Maybe this job will help our case.
