- Baby is 4 1/2 pounds and nearly 19 1/2 inches.
I went to the doctor yesterday for the routine 2 week check-up. I met a new doctor, I really liked her. She measured my belly - 34 cm, right on target with the due date. She also said she thinks the baby has flipped around and is now head down, instead of transverse. Good baby! She was feeling my belly and said, "Here's the butt, there's the head, and here's a foot". Amazing. I go back in two weeks for another check-up and another ultrasound to make sure baby's doing okay in there.
Feeling very round these days. But doing okay and thinking about the baby every 0.03 seconds.
My brother Scott comes tomorrow! He's staying the weekend and will help Brent with the painting. We'll be so glad to have him - for the company and for his painting expertise. I'll have pizza and Lucky Charms on hand and he'll be happy. :o)
On Saturday Brent and I have a birthing class at St. John's Hospital, where we'll deliver the baby. Scott doesn't mind that we'll be gone for a while, he'll said he'll paint away. We're looking forward to the class - I have to learn how to birth this baby!! Plus we'll get a tour of the labor and delivery/mother-baby units, so we'll know what to expect.
We've been enjoying the Olympics on TV. We stay up to watch most of it, but don't often see the good stuff because it gets too late. I've decided the in my next life I want to look like a beach volleyball player.
Tropical Storm Fay has drenched Melbourne and I must say I'm SO glad not to be involved! Over 30 inches of rain or something ridiculous. They can have it! Was very glad that the storm didn't bother Angie and the girls in Tampa.
Brent has been busy getting the media center at school ready and all set up. I went to the school last night and it looks great. He's got quite a nice set-up and everything is so shiny and new. The students are so lucky to have a new school and they'll think the media center rocks.
Tomorrow is my first day at work without my preceptor. The job is a one-man show for each shift, so I'm pretty much on my own. But I should do fine and I'll call someone if I get stuck. It's been going good so far, I've caught on well and know the routine for the most part. Some crazy stuff happens in the ER, though, I'll tell ya!
Happy end of the week and everyone have a nice weekend!
Love, Laura
