30 Weeks

We made it to the 30 week mark!  At this stage our baby is about 3 pounds and I can feel her kicking more on the right side of my stomach, so our midwife thinks she is turning hopefully.  Our glucose results came back and we are in the clear, and doing well with the weight gain.  The only problem is that my iron is a little low so I am now taking supplements, which is not surprising considering I haven't eaten red meat or pork in 17 years.  Apparently as you grow in pregnancy, more and more blood is needed to support the growth and many women can become anemic or have low iron.
Other than that, things are good, still have back pain and having to work on taking a lot of breaks as sitting up has become painful for long periods.


Todd and I started our first birthing class on the 2nd! It is taught by a well recommended instructor, Linda Worzer and we were even recommended to see her by the birthing center in Austin we had looked at!  So we knew we were in good hands when we signed up.  The method we are learning is called the Bradley Method for women who are going the natural childbirth course.  It teaches relaxation methods that are very different from the Lamaze classes we have seen in the movies, so we are excited to see how it goes. Todd was very happy to learn that our homework for the week was for him to get a 30 minute massage by the spouse daily, and is for them to learn how effective relaxation is for us women in labor- and for them to have a break as they have been stressed about becoming new dads as well :)  We will also be learning about breastfeeding and all the other stuff that we need to learn in the next 10 weeks!


I forgot to mention in the last entry that the first outfit I have bought for our baby girl, happens to be a cute swimsuit cover up by Juicy and was able to get this for 75% off!  My mother and sister convinced me to buy it as she will be going to our timeshare in Florida in the Fall and will need a stylish outfit (at a whole 5 months old :)
