January 10

Jennie's appointment yesterday went well. Her doctor listened to Daphne's heartbeat and took some measurements. While only gaining two pounds since her last visit (that's great, by the way), Jennie has begun swelling a bit in her lower legs. So, the doctor recommended some Jobst or Juzo compression knee-high stockings. Can you believe they charge nearly $30 for a pair of socks? Ouch... they better be woven with 24 karat gold thread! hehehe

Each night before bed, Jennie and I have started singing and reading to Daphne. I have been told that she will recognize our voices (and it *should* soothe her) once she is born. But, if our singing is way off key (as my intuition suggests), Daphne will remonstrate with discomfort.

Only 40 to 61 more days to go...

Daphne's abode is getting smaller as she is growing...


LINK OF THE DAY: Some website alternatives to eBay...

Until tomorrow,
