Week 32

Where has the time gone? Just a short time ago I thought 30 weeks was a long time. Whew, but here we are.

We had an OB appointment Friday. We scheduled it with Susan Vaughen. She is the other midwife at our clinic. What a wonderful lady. She was able to resolve some questions we had about contractions and what exactly they do. B's weight is "on target" with a gain of 14 pounds thus far in the pregnancy. We also inquired about the potential for traveling. She said usually up to 36 weeks she should be okay. We have requested a copy of our file, just in case we need it.

Susan has asked us to come back in two weeks. It is getting so much closer :)) double grin because I cannot wait to hold her. I ask the belly almost every day "What is your name?" We have a few picked out as many of you know, but have of course decided to wait to name her once we see her. We don't want to look at her and she not look like a "Jenny".

Baby is very active and verrrry pokey! Often B's tummy is an egg or pear shape with baby "parts" sticking out all over. I love to feel her moving around in there. When I come home at night I lay with my head on the tummy and talk to her. She often responds with a poke, punch or kick. I am going to say it again, I cannot wait to hold her.

I started working on one of the last projects for the nursery this week. We are going to sand down and paint the night stand and dresser to coordinate better in there. I started with the night stand to see how it will look. So far so good :)

B has been starting to wonder about the whole labor process. She is getting a little nervous that she won't be able to handle it. I keep telling her she needs to start looking for, and finding, that calm place. She wants to do it drug free, which i think is very possible. I know she will able to do it!
