Just a usual check-up and everything is right on track. My blood pressure is normal, baby’s heartbeat was 140 bpm (normal range is 120 – 160), and uterine height is 31 cm (it is supposed to be within 2 cm of the number of weeks along you are), so everything is right on track! Baby is still head-down (has been for the last month) and at this point, the baby will likely remain head-down for the rest of the pregnancy, which is good. No need to worry about a breech position. So, we go back in 2 weeks, so our next appointment is on the 23rd.
Tonight we have another prenatal class, the last one that is actually a class (next week is the hospital tour). Tonight we will be talking about C-sections, and bringing your baby home (what can be expected in the first few weeks, the changes to the dynamic of the relationship between mom and dad, and changes that mom will go through).
Hard to believe it’s only 2 weeks until Christmas! We are in the midst of trying to figure out when the heck we are going to celebrate Christmas with my family since my brothers and Al’s fiancé have such crazy work schedules and they are completely conflicting. It has been a logistical nightmare. But, since my mom just spent last week in Banff getting her Professional Logistician certification, I’ll let her figure it out ;)

LOL, I'm sure your mom can handle it, now that she's all trained up! :)
Crazy how fast this month is going isn't it? Two weeks 'til Christmas day! :D
Only two weeks... wow!
I hope your prenatal class goes well tonight. I'm really glad JB and I took one (instead of being spread over 5 weeks, we took the 1-weekend version due to his work schedule at the time... that was a lot of info in 2 days). I liked the hospital tour, but JB says I got a little pale in the birthing room! ;)
Class last night was good. We learned about C-sections (I had no idea that almost a third of births are C-sections these days)! We also talked a lot about the changes moms go through right after having a baby and the changes we can expect at home.
I'm looking forward to next Thursdays hospital tour since we have a brand new hospital (only opened in June) and I haven't been in it yet!
