Week 31 and 32

Nick and I are officially graduates of Lamaze. We got done on Thursday with our four classes. I learned some stuff but a lot of the material covered I have already read about. Lamaze did a good job of making me think about how this baby is actually going to get out. Not looking forward to that. I think Nick learned a lot. He hasn't been reading like I have. We both *really enjoyed* the birthing videos. It was pretty weird to practice the "pushing" positions and the instructor was trying to get us to make pushing noises but I wouldn't. I'll save those up for when I really need them. Monday is our baby care class. I am really looking forward to that. We get to interact with real babies. It will be kind of a refresher course for me and a learn everything in 3 hours course for Nick. Hopefully it isn't too overwhelming for him.

We also had another doctors appointment. We got to ask the midwife questions that we wrote down in Lamaze. She also listened to the babies heartbeat and measured my uterus. I am right on track. She also told us where the baby is situated which is where I thought it is. The butt is in the right side of my ribs which can be pretty uncomfortable at times. The feet are towards the upper middle part of my belly, this is where I feel the most kicking action. Nick gets to feel the feet moving across my stomach. The baby is head down which is good. Hopefully it doesn't flip back around to the breech position. It has been in this position for probably about a month so I am thinking the likelyhood of it doing a major move from head down to head up is unlikely.

We are going to start calling pediatricians soon. We have about 8 weeks or less until the baby will be here and it is starting to feel like crunch time. We are excited about the two showers we have next weekend. Looking forward to getting everything ready in the house. Washing baby clothes and linens, setting up furniture, babyproofing, and organizing all the little things like where the diapers go and all the baby care items. The baby will be here before we know it.
