We had our doctor's appointment on Monday, but I was really bummed out because we didn't get another sonogram/ultrasound. I swore we were going to, but they said nope, not again until 36 week!! I can't wait that long! We were so spoiled on the front end. I had one every appointment through 20 weeks, but I haven't had one since. So now I really have to try and convince Kevin to let me do one of those 3D/4D ultrasounds from somewhere else!! CROSS OUR FINGERS!
We did get to hear his little heart beat!! And they measured my belly and said I'm right on time. So I'm curious if Carter is slowing down in size and maybe won't be as big. Guess we won't know for a while.
This week, Carter is supposably the size of an Acorn Squash. He is apparently close to 17 inches and could be up to 3.8 lbs.
I haven't really started having Braxton Hicks contractions yet (at least I dont think so). My doctors said that can start around 28 weeks. They said it doesn't hurt, just a tightening feeling. So we'll see!
Baby C is moving alot still. I can sometimes see like lumps or a bulge in certain areas of my stomach, so I assume that is some part of his body pushing up again me. Pretty cool.
Lately we have been looking up photographers to use for newborn photographs. Dude! Why are they so expensive?? And most dont even let you have the digital copies. The average was that it cost $100 per image to get digitally. CRAZY!! I have found two that take good shots, that let us have so many digital copies for a flat rate and dont require a purchase minimum. So Kevin and I trying to figure out what to do. I really want a professional taking his newborn shots, not just me. But we'll see!
Also we're still trying to figure out if banking our baby's cord blood is worth the investment. Its a pretty steep price to do it, but I have a significant discount coupon that I could use. Its just hard because who knows if we'll ever need it. So is it worth the risk to invest that much money into something we may never use? But at the same time, technology and science are coming such a long way and who knows where it could be someday to where it could be beneficial. And I would just feel AWFUL if something happen to our kids and we needed and didn't do. SUCH a hard decision! Our doctor said if we could afford it, do it. Decisions, decisions.
On Monday we had a infant/child CPR training class. We learned alot, but it WORE me out! Having to practice CPR and being pregnant isn't fun! Tomorrow though we have our childbirth class!! 9AM-3:30PM!! Its gonna be a long day. We'll also get to tour the hospital and the labor and delivery wing, so I'm excited about that! Wish us luck that we learn everything and aren't totally exhausted by the end of the day!
