Strange experiences: On Friday while at a work meeting I felt like Jack was doing a somersault in my belly. It was definitely a different feeling than a kick!
Milestones: Babies born between weeks 27 and 32 have a good chance of survival. Baby is beginning a very active stage in his cramped quarters. The amniotic fluid has decreased, which means you'll feel every movement more than before.
Looking forward to: Getting Jack's nursery finished and organized. I'm hopefully going to accomplish a lot of that next weekend. I just ordered window panels and a few wall prints and decorations so it's definitely shaping up.
Thoughts: This past week I had another good doctor's visit. Good in that I passed my glucose test so no more thoughts on that, everything looked normal including blood pressure, baby's heart rate, etc. I had to get a Rhogam shot since I have Rh negative blood, but that was no big deal. The only hiccup was my weight...it's a little on the high side for what I should be gaining, although the doc said I'm healthy and it won't affect the baby - it's just more about my inconvenience of having to take it off once Jack is here. I'm optimistic about that though.
I continue to think prenatal yoga is the best thing ever. If you are pregnant, seriously consider finding a class. I look forward to it and feel amazing afterwards. We also learn different breathing techniques to use during the different stages of labor each week.
Jason and I start our set of classes next week. Although it will be two long Sundays of class in a row, I'm pretty excited. The particular class we are doing is through the hospital we are delivering at and includes prepared childbirth, infant care & breastfeeding. We also plan to take an infant CPR class at some point.
I'm curious if anyone took any other type of class before having baby?
