Preparing for Childbirth Class
We attended the "Preparing for Childbirth" class last Saturday. Here's the description of the class : This class will help prepare you and your support person for labor and giving birth. You will learn breathing and relaxation techniques; pain management options; the role of the coach; hospital procedures; and what to expect before, during, and after delivery.
We've learned a few things, but it was a long day 9a - 4:30p, with 45minute lunch. It could be shortened if the introduction part (15 couples) was skipped as well as the games.
36-Week Dr. Appointment
I had my 36-week prenatal appointment last July 10. Good news, baby is head down. My BP is good, protein is good (no protein leak). Baby's size is just right, baby's heartbeat is good 142 - 145. Not dilated yet, not effaced yet.
ETC./MISC.
The car seat and stroller are out of the box, and Daddy Keith has assembled them!! YAY!! The base just needs to be installed in the car.
Mommy has washed most of clothes and blankets, there's only two batches of load left : 1) crib beddings; and 2) swaddlers, new clothes, blankets, crib sheets (recent gifts).
Also, the bassinet has been assembled already. I guess we're kind of ready now if the baby decides to come out one of these days.
