Admirable goals...I recommend getting as many of them done before baby arrives. Once he's here, you'd be amazed how hard it is to get anything else done for a while :)

Thanks Becky! I was following their Live Lightly blog on my feed reader, but it just kind of disappeared. I'm glad you reconnected me!
Hi! With the pediatrician, I asked all of my friends that have children under age three. The majority recommended the doctor I chose. However, several people gave me unsolicited advice and for the most part they were all telling me about the same practice that the doctor I chose was in. So, I called that practice and asked which doctors were taking newborns. I figured I would be safe with any of them, but the one that had been most recommended was taking patients, so I was very blessed! I would definitely go by word of mouth when it comes to a doctor, but make sure the friends you ask have similar personalities to you.
Thank you for stopping by my blog! I will look forward to following your adventure!
