This past weekend we went to our childbirth preparation class. It was Saturday from 8 am-4pm. I was quite exhausted which is why I look kinda rough in the pictures, plus it was taken at like 11 pm. There was some good information in the class but it could have been held in a much shorter session. We opted for the one long session over the hour long ones once a week for 6 weeks so we could make sure Dave would be able to be there for the entire thing. One of the OB delivery doctors did come and we got to ask a bunch of questions which was helpful. I think I asked 75% of the questions for the entire class. They taught Dave how to give counterpressure to my back during labor and some massaging techniques. And for those of you who know me well know that I LOVE to be rubbed, so that part was good. I think Dave will be rubbing me the entire time I am in labor since nothing relaxes me more. I don't understand those people who don't like to be rubbed. I can't get enough and thats one day that I think I am allowed to request it ALL day long and I'm actually kind of excited for it!
Why do they make maternirty clothes assuming people are going to gain 60 pounds? As you may be able to tell from the pictures, I have semi-given into maternity clothes. I have 2 pairs of maternity capris from target since getting into my jeans at this point is probably completely hopeless. They don't have the big panel, they just sit under my belly but they are huge. I had to put safety pins in the back so they dont fall down. I bought a few tee shirts too but they are still too big and with the long shirt styles in now, some of my pre-pregnancy shirts are still working for me. But I am not happy about giving into those 2 pairs of pants, mostly just because they don't fit well and therefore I don't like how I look in them. Oh well, only 8 more weeks to worry about that!
The baby gets the hiccups probably 5 times a day and they last for like 15 minutes each time. They (but not her:)) drive me crazy. Its just like a rhythmic bouncing of my belly. They say hiccups don't bother babies so at least hopefully they aren't driving her crazy as well. She keeps getting more and more reactive. Dave continues to poke at my belly to wake her up and it surely works.
We ordered her car seat last week and a few cloth diapers as well. We're just about ready for her arrival!
