27 weeks...

This week we had some good classes to take.  Bringing home baby and the Childbirth Education.  J didn't really enjoy the Childbirth Education.  He felt it was too long and no breaks.  They catered lunch for us but it might have been better if we could have left the building for that hour.  Instead we ate and someone talked about cord blood to us.  Not really a break.  Overall, we got a lot of good information.  A lot to think about and a lot to know about the labor process.  I wound up with more questions for my doctor.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts still itchy and sensitive and now have a rash
• Tired and out of breath.  Hard to walk at lunch at my usual pace
• Finding it harder to move freely and tie my shoelaces
• Belly popping out 
• Very full belly and very tight sometimes.  Could be Braxton Hicks.
• Baby kicks and movement
• Sleeping issues

This week we have a few classes at the hospital.  Bringing home baby which is only an hour and the childbirth marathon on Saturday.  It's from 8:30-4:30 pm.  It'll be a long day but worth it.  I can't believe I've made it this far. It feels a bit surreal.  I can't wait to meet our little girl.  I love feeling her move around.  It makes me feel so reassured that she's okay. A part of me thinks J is in a bit of denial. We need to do so much work around the house I have no idea when it will be done.  J doesn't seem to be able to get started.  Anyway, all I can do is take one day at a time.

Symptoms I felt this week:

• Breasts still itchy and sensitve
• Tired and out of breath rather quickly
• Finding it harder to move freely and tie my shoelaces
• Belly popping out

• Baby kicks and movement
• Sleeping issues
