Birthing Class #3

We had our doctor's appointment yesterday and birthing class #3. 

Our appointment was good...
  ~Weighed in at 172
  ~Good blood pressure
  ~Baby's heart rate was great...we can definitely tell it's slowed down.  :) 
  ~Baby's measuring at about 5 pounds
  ~She couldn't confirm it, but our doctor thinks the baby is in the head down position already.
  ~Our doctor eased my concerns about our long drive to the hospital.  She told us that we will probably end up coming in as soon as the contractions are 5 minutes apart (usually you wait until contractions are 5 minutes apart for 2 full hours before coming in).  She also assured me that if we get to the hospital and I'm not really ready to be admitted, but am close, they will be more accomodating for us (instead of sending us home).  That made me feel a lot better.
  ~At our next appointment (in 2 weeks), we will get our sonogram and have a couple more tests done...and then we are at our weekly appointments.  We are definitely getting closer.

As usual....we had a bit of a wait in the doctor's office and I got a little bored....and this is what happened:


Birthing Class
  ~Ugh....I'll spare you the details about the stupid and ignorant questions that were asked by idiots...and the poor teaching by our instructor.... HOWEVER, we did get to take our tour of the hospital!  That was cool.  The rooms are really nice and everything is laid out nicely.  I definitely think that our birthing experience is going to be great there.  

Also on Sunday, my parents made a surprise visit and got to see the nursery!  :)
