BIRTHING CLASS.
First and foremost - WHO SIGNS THOSE RELEASE FORMS TO ALLOW CAMERAS UP IN THEIR N'YAH AS THEY GIVE BIRTH - AND IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE HAVING YOUR BUSINESS FILMED, MAYBE GO AHEAD AND DO SOME TRIMMING DOWN THERE IN ANTICIPATION!!
This was actually a pretty positive experience. It solidified in my mind that I want no part of an epidural (unless for some reason I have to have a C-Section) and it made us both feel really confident and ready for this to happen. They taught us how to breathe, how Zach can help me, and what exactly is happening at which stage of the game. I am so glad we took it, and Zach was really thankful to learn a little more about what's going on in there and what will be happening when she decides she's ready to come meet us. It was at the hospital we're delivering at, so it was especially great to get information directly from them.
BNut is measuring in around 17.2 inches (in theory) and her brain is developing even more and her skin is turning pink. She's just fattening up to face the outside world. (Don't tell Hansel and Grettel - they know this which that likes fattened children) Evidently, this is also a time in her life where she has to pummel my organs approx. every 1.5 hours. It's pretty great. I'm not sure when she's sleeping, but it isn't when I sleep or when I'm awake.
She also has this new trick of pushing on my bladder pretty much constantly. I know transverse isn't the way we want to be at this stage in the game, but it sure made it easier to to breathe and not run to the bathroom every 5 minutes.
Attached is my latest profile. This is from 31 weeks, so it's already 2 weeks old, but you get a pretty good idea of how we're doing.
