The Big 3-0, 10 Weeks to go!


We hit 30 weeks on January 30th. It is amazing how time has flown by. We both sat down pondering the other day about how in just 10 weeks are little one will be here. Oh, and we started a list of all the things we still need to do-Yikes!
We headed to our 30 week appointment( which was closer to 31 weeks, actually) on February 4th.
This week we met with Doctor W., who as I mentioned before is older and very mellow. You know, the "Bueller Bueller" guy. He informed me I am measuring right on target, blood pressure good, and baby' heartbeat is strong. Baby did not kick Dr. W, as he/she usual does to Dr. G or Dr. P when they are pushing on the stomach. I guess baby knows who the boss is. I, also, got some interesting news. Riddle me this-I lost a pound and a half. I was a bit worried, but doc said there is no need for concern.
Dr. W is just so cool and calm about everything. You just know he is a veteran at all of this and never seems concerned. It bothered me slightly at first, but now I think it is kind of nice to have a doctor who does not buy into all the hype. Mitch asked when we would discuss a birth plan. Because that is what all the books say, write out a birth plan. Dr. W shrugged and said he did not think that was necessary because they would just do whatever we asked and he and the other doctors would guide us on the day of our baby's birth. He explained most birth plans are never followed and everything just sort of goes the way it goes. Which was good to here, because Mitch and I have opted not to take any of the "prep classes." I mean, come on-$150 to learn how to breath and focus...we all know how cheap I am. We can read about it.
