Week 35 is here and Michael will be here in just weeks! We had an appointment/birth class on Monday afternoon. The birth center has brought on a new Midwife, Rita. She taught the class and did the belly checks at this appointment. It was our first experience with her and both Joe and I really liked her energy. To top things off (Joes favorite part) she is from NJ! She was kind of spunky and she sounds very passionate about what she does.
The Birth Center has 3 practicing midwives and to be honest, Joe and I would be delighted to have any of the three deliver our baby. I am so glad that I feel this way too! If we would have used the doctors office we would have had 1 of 4 deliver our baby and we were truly only happy with 2 of the 4. So now the chances of us coming out of this experience happy with our care provider is quite high!
So Michael is head down still so that is good news. With his head so low I am constantly going to the bathroom and then as I am washing my hands I still feel like I have to go to the bathroom. Its quite amusing, I think Joe is getting a few laughs from it!
I have been hard at work on my scrapbooks… I did a calculation and I actually have 7 more to go (2 down). I know its ambitious but for those of you that know me… I am determined to get it all done! I am trying to be super mom already haha!
So now onto Michael…
Congratulations! You’re now carrying over 5 pounds of baby-goodness - not counting their amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, or the placenta itself.
Developmentally, your wee womb-tenant has the fat-factory running at full tilt while their digestive system puts the finishing touches on critical organs in preparation for their first meal (remember - before birth, all of their nutrition was blood via the umbilical cord).
With their first meal in mind, it's time to look forward to one of the most important things you'll do for your infant - namely, keeping them alive with nothing more than your breasts
