I had another appointment this last Wednesday 7/22. Now that I have my appointments every two weeks I was nervous to see my weight gain...just because I didn't want to gain my normal amount in just the two weeks. I was happy to see that I had LOST two pounds! Woo-who! I guess those brownie cupcakes and fruit pizza I had didn't affect me! :) All went well with the appointment. I am still measuring on schedule; although Zach thinks this baby is going to be here before September 20th. We shall see! I am starting to get a little impatient. We are really excited for this baby to get here! I don't want to rush him here, but I do feel like I am ready. I know, I know Zach and I should savor our sleep and our alone time together, but we are just so excited! Very eager to see who he looks like, what kind of personality he is going to have, etc.
Today we had our Childbirth Preparation class at the hospital. We learned a lot about the different stages of labor and contractions, saw the birthing unit, learned about the different procedures, the different types of medicine I can have, and many, many other things. Being in the delivery room today made it really real for me. I had mixed emotions: how is this baby going to come out of me, I hope I can handle the stresses of labor, and of course anticipation and excitement! Overall, it was a great day filled with lots of good information.
Here are some pics of the sonogram from my July 8th appointment. He was 29 weeks along at this appointment.
Loved seeing the sonogram pictures Lauren. They just made me smile because it is such a unique and special time in your life. There's nothing that can compare to being pregnant. And even though my body didn't LOVE being pregnant...I couldn't help but love the feeling of a life growing inside me...! I can't wait for little Brody to get here either!
