It has been awhile since I posted anything, mainly cause I haven't felt like it. However, there have been some happenings down here in SoCal that are worth mentioning.
So as many people know the H1N1 has been going around while there has been a short supply of vaccines. I was on the fence about getting a vaccine, but my dr. recommended it, so when it made avalable, I was going to get it. Then when I went to work one day, the director of the daycare told me that two of the girls that I take care of had the swine flu and that I had been exposed. AHHHHH!!!! That was on a friday. On Saturday I spent half the day trying to find out where I could get the vaccine. It turned out that no one had it except a Kaiser Hospital. If you are not a member you can't get the vaccine. I am not a member. Then we heard that some dr.'s were not recommending it. That made me and Isaac uneasy because so many different health professionals had so many different views. I talked to my brother, who is a doctor, and he told me what he did. He works with kids on a daily basis and he did not get it because he believes it needs to be tested on more people to really see the effects. After a long, long discussion and a lot of prayer, Isaac and I decided that it would be best if I quit my job. I didn't want to get the vaccine, and even if I didn't get the swine flu, the kids at the daycare are always sick and I get sick too. That puts stress on me and Diego which is not good. There was only one more month until I was going to quit anyways so we just moved it up. So now I am unemployed and staying at home taking care of myself and my baby.
So because I am now staying at home, I am trying to get as many things ready for Diego as possible. I have set up the crib, in the process of cleaning and disinfecting our whole apartment, etc, etc, etc. Isaac and I are also taking birthing classes which I love! I think they are so much fun, plus Isaac massages my back for part of it. It is great!
Besides that I am just trying to be patient and wait until Diego comes, which is super hard I might add. I want to hold him NOW! But I am at 32 weeks, so only 5 more to go until he is considered full term. Hopefully he will decided to make a sooner debut than a later one :)

That's great that you are taking a birthing class. What kind are you in? I think I should sign up for it, massages sound good :). I'm glad you're taking care of your self and have some time to get ready for the baby. I'm so excited for you both!
