Babymoon
I have read on message boards about pregnant women taking a "babymoon" with their husbands. Basically it is a last little vacation prior to their baby making his or her arrival. In a way, that is what the last few days have been for us, although I am hoping that we get in at least one more little babymoon prior to our son coming home.
Greg and I took a 4 day trip to the DC area. We did some site-seeing, visited with my family in the area, and caught a concert. Although I did notice that we were both slightly distracted from the sites the entire time. We spent a lot of time checking out everyone's babies, particularly how they were transporting their babies. We made a game of pointing out babies in Baby Bjorn (we just bought one on eBay) and scoping out the strollers of innocent bystanders. We were quiet excited when we got on the Metro at the end of a long day of touring only to be standing next to a couple who had their baby in the exact stroller that we are thinking of purchasing/registering for. The couple was probably rather freaked out by us staring at their child, but really it was all the features of the stroller that we were most interested in. Greg and I dared each other to ask the couple if we could take their stroller for a spin when we got off at our stop but neither of us was up to the challenge.
I was also distracted from our trip enough to check my email for any further updates. My obsessive behavior was rewarded yesterday morning when I received a short email from our case worker. She said that she put in another request (I was unaware of a first request) for updated pictures and medical information on our child. It seems that the Guatemalan Program Director is having difficulties obtaining the information from the pediatrician since we are not the only family waiting for this information. We were told that we would get medical updates every 6-8 weeks and sometimes we would have pictures with those. The last medical update we got was from April 4, three days after our son was born and exactly 11 weeks ago. Our son doesn't look anything like the pictures that we have of him from April 15th, and we have no idea what he looks like. That is more aggravating than anything.
