Childbirth Class

This past weekend, Ben and I attended Childbirth Class at Baptist. I had to attend this class while I was in my OB rotation in nursing school, and I remembered it being very informative. Since I wasn't pregnant at the time, I didn't pay too close attention. Ben went with me kicking and screaming. While in class, he texted, got up and down, went to the bathroom A LOT, and asked me over and over when we could leave. I asked him to please pay attention many times and he replied "I can listen and do other things too!" Yeah right. The lady teaching the class got a big kick out of his inattentiveness. After the two day class was over, he did admit that it was very beneficial and he learned a lot, but that I would tell him how to do everything anyway. Little does he know that there will come a time when I am not thinking like a nurse and am needing him to remind me how I'm supposed to breathe, push, etc. He will see very soon.

I made Ben put on the "empathy belly" so he could feel the weight of pregnancy. He was pretty shocked at how much it weighed. I then asked him to bend over and try to touch the floor. He couldn't do it....

I had my 32 week apt. this afternoon. I am now measuring 2 weeks ahead, but my weight gain is perfect. So, I will have another US at 36 weeks to determine her size. Elliotte has now been labeled "LGA" which means large for gestational age. I hope that label does not follow her the rest of her life!!
