Genia is fourteen weeks into her pregnancy today. According to the little magazines, the baby is somewhere between 4.5 and 6 inches long at this point. She has her next doctor's appointment at sixteen weeks, and we will hopefully be able to find out if it's a boy or a girl. Pretty exciting! We're both hoping it will be a boy but we will of course be happy either way. So we have about twenty six weeks until we get to meet our little baby... and so much to prepare in that time. We have a lot of baby stuff already like a stroller and lots of gender-neutral infant clothing purchased by the excited grandmothers. We have to figure out if we're going to stay in our current apartment or try to find a bigger place. We have to save up enough money to cover Genia's salary during the unpaid portion of her maternity leave. And we have to figure out how to take care of the baby twenty four hours a day when we're both working. Our sister-in-law has graciously volunteered for some babysitti!
ng and our schedules are flexible enough that we shouldn't have to have it in day care every day -- hopefully not but a couple days a week. It would be great if Genia could quit work, but that's just not possible as far as we can tell right now.
