Visited the OB/GYN today. Susana has such a great doctor. He's amazing. Great bedside manner, very thorough, answers questions and asks if you have more. Information wise we really didn't learn much aside from the fact that yet another urine test (this time by the doctor) indicates Susana is pregnant. He talked to us about some concerns we had, how long she can travel for work, etc. It was a long wait, but it was a good visit. He gave us some prenatal vitamins which she will start taking tomorrow. Our ages didn't seem to concern his much which was a relief even though his assistant was very doom and gloomish (I wanted to pop her when she said "Well, let's hope everything works out okay" for the fifth time. By contrast, he was very good-for-you-you-can-do-this which was nice.
Susana promised to watch Sunshine's baby (heretofore know as Asher) last night and invited me along. It seemed like more of a request and I was more than happy to tag along. I have to admit I felt a little intimidated. It's strange feeling that way about something roughly one-tenth my size (if that). He cried and I thought I'd made him to it which was bizarre since he kept reaching for my fingers and touching my face, but it turned out he's teething and wanted something to gnaw on. As soon as we gave him a pacifier he started chewing on it and the crying stopped. He even gummed my finger at one point and was fascinated with my can of Vernon's ginger ale (WARNING: NASTY ASS SHIT! DO NOT DRINK!) due to the shiny green color.
We stopped at B&N before going to Sunshine's and picked up a couple of books. I grabbed The Expectant Father because it was the only book I saw every recommended list recommend that B&N had yesterday. I haven't read a lot of it, but I think it will be helpful. If it's not, it's heavy enough I can use it to hit myself with in the head.
