30 1/2 Weeks



It's only 65 days until the due date. This boy sure kicks a lot. The funny thing about keeping mum on his sex and his name for so long, I almost never call him by it. So I'm practicing now. At least in the privacy of our home.

The next hospital tour is scheduled for January 25, so we'll be there that night. We decided against doing the lamaze refresher course, but I will dig out our books and look over them. My plan pretty much is to check in and then ask for the drugs. :) I don't need to be brave. With Elijah I was all the way to 10 before I got the good drugs, so I pretty much get the jist of it.

I spoke with the pediatrician office yesterday to ask about what we need to do to get baby #2 set up there. all I have to do is sign a release form saying the hospital can send his records to them. Then, as with Elijah, we'll have to bring him in 2 days after we get out of the hospital. Because University Hospital doesn't allow those doctors to come there. Don't ask.

So all is well. I'm healthy, the baby is healthy, and we wait.

Appointment

I had my appt yesterday, and everything is still going well. My bp was 85/60, which surprised even me, since I've been stressed lately, I thought for sure it would have been in the triple digits. The baby's growth and heart rate are spot on. I talked to Dr. Scott about what the rest of the appts will hold, and do I need to pre-register for the hospital. I don't need to register, and there is only one test left to do at 35 weeks, the Strep B test.

So I go back in a month, and then every two weeks until February. Then it's every week until he's ready to make his entrance.

I've been very emotional the last week, so please pray for my hormones to calm down. I've been trying to reduce my stress as well.
