Good news! The Shands dr's have cleared me to resume normal activity. Everything checked out OK at our last visit, so now I'm free to travel and do most everything I want to do. Now I have to focus on getting strong again (my legs are woefully weak). An offshoot of this announcement means that I will be able to see Robin Williams in Tampa, as discussed in a previous blog. Dave and I will be driving down to St. Pete in March to spend some time with family and friends and attend the concert. Most importantly, through, we'll be able to visit with Dave's dad, who is still recovering from his surgery. We're looking foward to having him see my expanding belly, and I'm hoping the baby's kicks will be strong enough for him to feel. I think that will give him extra motivation to work hard at his physical therapy. He'll need to be strong and healthy so that come July, he'll be able to hold his grandchild and tell him/her embarassing stories about Big Dave.
On a side note, Big Dave and I will have to start shopping for baby furniture pretty soon. Any of you who are parents, we're asking that you help us by recommending the products that you liked and worked well for you during your babyhood experience. I'm talking everything from cribs, changing tables, strollers, car seats, etc. If you really liked the product, let us know. If you really hated it, tell us why. We could use all the input we can get.

From my sister with twins...get thee a boppy pillow, lot of large receiving blankets, spit cloths, a short dresser rather than a changing table (will grow with the baby), doc. brown bottles are great, Baby Depot at Burlington factory has great prices on cribs, register for Publix's baby club (you get a great free book, great coupons and a smash cake for free on the 1st b-day) and get the Safe Bather, NOT the plastic bath tubs..they last longer with growing baby and are easier to store. That's all she wrote.
Many thanks to your sis for the tips. The sooner we compile our list, the sooner we can complete our shopping before I get too big to navigate the aisles.
