I've been meaning to do this for months now, because I like reading other peoples pregnancy blogs, and I think it is a good way to let friends and family keep up with the pregnancy and what is going on. Things have been so busy with Mark and I, I feel bad that we haven't kept in better touch with people we care about, and allowed them more access to this whole pregnancy process. So, this is my way of trying to include more people in what's going on with us, and this way I can include a bunch of you all at once. Of course we will see how I do at keeping up with this thing and actually posting in a timely manner. I am 32 weeks pregnant so I only have around 8 weeks left to do this thing anyway. I'm hoping to keep it up after the baby is born too, but we will see what happens.
I went to the doctor today, and she said everything looks good. She asked if I was taking a birthing class, and recommended we do a breastfeeding and infant CPR class too. We're doing Bradley classes, and I've heard from several people that between Bradley classes and meeting with the lactation consultant at the hospital that will cover me on the breastfeeding class. We do need to sign up for infant CPR class, both Mark and I have lapsed CPR certification, and that certification was for adults not infants. Not sure when we are going to fit it in, but once we sign up for it we'll make it work somehow.
The strangest part of pregnancy to me right now is the fact the baby now "kicks" in two places at once. Especially when I am laying on my side it feels like it is jumping up and down on a trampoline because I feel it on both ends of my stomach at the same time. This morning I felt a foot for the first time. I was feeling my stomach and I realized there was foot pressed up against me, I could feel which part was the heel, and the toes. It was pretty cool. Actually right now it is moving a bunch, I have my stomach out so I can see it. I love watching it move.
Here is a current pregnancy pic I had Mark take today.
