34 Weeks and Butt-Down

Thursday, February 26, 2009



I feel like we're finally heading into the home stretch. I am almost 34 weeks and thankfully still feeling pretty good. Only two more weeks of work left (hooray!) and then it's just a waiting game. 

Unfortunately the little guy is currently sitting breech. My midwife says he needs to go butt-up by March 9th or we have to start looking at moving him manually. I would really rather not go through that procedure as it sounds very uncomfortable. I've schedule a visit with a chiropractor at the midwife's suggestion to see they can do some adjustment to help our boy move. I've also looked up a bunch of different positions I can practice to help gravity along. I'm trying not to worry about it yet as there is still plenty of time for him to flip, but I can't help feeling a bit anxious. Now that the option of natural birth is possibly being taken away I'm pretty bummed. I didn't realize quite how much I want to go through labor and delivery naturally (ask me if I still feel this way when the contractions come!)

Birth Class

Monday, February 9, 2009

RJ and I started a 6 week birth class last week. While we've been learning alot the absolute best part of class are the other parents/coaches. Since most of the population has babies you end up with an eccentric mix of people. We really hit the jackpot with our group - there is much laughing in our car on the way home as we analyze the different couples.

last week was our first class. We were asked to introduce ourselves and our coaches/partners. Everyone had to answer the same two questions: "What's been the best part of pregnancy?" and "What's been the worst part."

My favorite was couple #1.

Her
The best part - I'm going to be a mommy.
The worst part - Nothing. I've been blissed out the entire time.

Him
The best part - I'm going to be a dad.
The worst part - I have to do this all again since it isn't a boy.
