Birthing Class

We had our third birthing class last night and it was by far the worst. The first one was pretty basic, 'this is what happens to your body during pregnancy' thing, last week was the stages of birth and we watched a video of a birth that wasn't really that bad. This week, though, was about medical intervention during birth. Seeing someone get an epidural was way worse than seeing someone give birth. I don't know who first thought 'Hey, I know! Let's jam a huge needle into a woman's spinal column, then run a smaller needle through the bigger needle!' but they were clearly slightly insane. And C-Sections seem even worse. I really, really hope Kelly is allowed to deliver naturally. And I'm really, really glad that men can't get pregnant.

Next week we get a tour of the hospital we're delivering at, so that should be really cool. It really does hammer home the point that in a little over a month and a half, Kelly and I are gonna meet our little girl!

Eight weeks to go!

It blows my mind that in less than two months, Kelly and I will be parents. Because of her gestational diabetes, we got another ultrasound this week. The baby kept her arms in front of her face for most of it but after the ultrasound tech showed us her legs and feet and butt, she went back up and we caught the baby yawning. It was probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen!

Kelly has to go back twice a week and do non-stress tests. The baby is not a fan. She keeps trying to kick the sensor off of Kelly's belly.
