I'm 27 weeks and 2 days into my pregnancy aka the beginning of my last trimester. This pregnancy has gone so quickly! And yet I still feel that I have a long way to go. Maybe not in regards to time, but in regards to physical growth I have a lot before me! I look back at the picture of me at 23 weeks (only a month ago!) and I already see major growth. Every single day I wake up and it seems that Ridley has gotten a little bit bigger and made a little more room for herself in my midsection.
I also have appointments and classes galore ahead of me. This Saturday Phil and I are starting our childbirth classes. We're attending classes that teach the Bradley Method with a local childbirth educator and yoga instructor. Next month we have a Meet and Greet with a local pediatrician (anyone have pediatrician referrals in the Wilmington area?!). We'll also be taking a tour of the hospital and preregistering next month. And of course I want to find time to go to a local La Leche League meeting to get the best advice on breastfeeding.
In the meantime, I've started back work at OTH and it's going well. I found out that I'm not the only pregnant person at work. There are four other women besides me who are currently pregnant. "Don't drink the water" jokes have been getting good use here!
Adios second trimester.

Hello Lauren, just read about you taking childbirth classes...the Bradley method is the way I went when I had Heather, it is awesome!! Be sure to practice on your relaxing, it really works!! My doctor way back then (1986) helped critic the book that was written then. His name was Dr. Renwick. I think since then they have come out with newer editions. You look so beautiful and I am so very happy for you!! Hugs!! Susan Redmond
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! I'm so happy to hear the Bradley Method worked for you. Our first class went well (we relaxed with a massage from our husbands/partners!). Hugs right back!!
