Max and I had our doctor visit yesterday. The doctor had told me previously that we would begin our discussion on labor at this appointment, so we were looking forward to the visit.
Everything checked out fine with me and the baby. I was actually measuring a centimeter smaller than expected but the doctor said it was nothing to worry about and was probably due to the fact that the baby was carrying so low. Baby is head down and very low she said, and from here on out we should be in the clear of any complications if I were to go into labor early. It is always a relief when we pass little milestones like that!
I asked about the baby’s weight and how they’re able to predict what it’ll be before delivery day. I knew that there would be no exact answer, as is the case with gender, you’re only 100% certain when the baby is finally here. My doctor feels pretty confident in her weight predictions and said that she would check at the next visit but she figured we’d probably have about a 7 lb. baby. I then told her that I was over 8 lbs. and Max was almost 10. Her eyes widened! So we’ll see in another two weeks what she thinks!
We started baby classes this week. I dragged Max along to the Breastfeeding Basics class and all was well until he got a case of the giggles, had to leave the room, and ended up getting locked out for about 20 minutes. I cant take him anywhere. At the Newborn Basics class we were given a tour of the new hospital which is very nice. For anyone that comes to visit us, you’ll have to call and be let into the maternity ward as the entire section is locked to visitors. But I’ll try to give you more information on that when we get closer to October.
Five more weeks until D-Day!
