Double digits

According to the ticker at the top of this page, there are now less than 100 days until our baby is due to arrive! It is hard to believe that at first we were counting the days up and now it seems to be more like a countdown to the end. Our midwife appointment on Tuesday went well. I will be doing the gestational diabetes test next week and we are also in the process of signing up for childbirth classes, choosing a pediatrician and pre-registering at the hospital. In addition, my appointments are now two weeks apart so the calendar is getting full. This is all starting to seem like things are getting close!

Last night I found out that a huge manufacturer of prenatal vitamins was doing a voluntary recall of all of their brands. It turns out that the brand I have been taking is included in the recall. I am still not clear yet on why there was a recall, but it is definitely a bit scary! It is also a bit ridiculous since I called Rite-Aid and they had no idea that there had been a recall. I have been feeling fine though and stopped taking the vitamins, so now I am just curious more than anything about why there was a recall in the first place.
