Update

We are now 34 weeks pregnant, and the doctor that we see for our "pregnancy induced condition" has said that if we have not gone in to spontaneous labor labor by week 38, we will be induced. So we are going to try to do everything we can to naturally want my body to go into labor!

SO EVERYONE SEND POSITIVE, EARLY LABOR, VIBES MY WAY!!

We have a meeting with the Certified nurse midwife who will be in charge of the hospital birth (if it happens) on Wednesday. She seemed awesome on the phone, so I expect everything to go great! I will feel bad for her when I don't have to birth at the hospital (wink, if you get what I am sayin').

Are you getting tired of my baby blogs? (tough)

Happy baby this week

I know it seems I talk about the baby a lot, but he is pretty special and I am sick and I want everyone to know that he is doing GREAT!! I have non-stress test every week, so this is basically what my life revolves around, and this weeks was awesome. Basically they make sure his heart is working good (it has to accelerate a certain amount for at least 15 sec in a certain period), and it was not only working good, it was working great.

On another note, I have not been at work all week (almost 2 weeks) cause I threw my back out, but I didn't want to go bragging about that cause this is supposed to be a happy blog. I am doing a bit better, thank you. I get to get a massage on Tuesday, so that will help too!

We are getting ready for Mariners opening day, I am super excited. Opening day is a lot of fun, there are a bit of giant sparklers (like fireworks) and people coming out on red carpets and like 6 opening pitches, you know the usual!

Since we are having a "baseball season" baby everyone is invited up to go to a game with us when ev, just let us know. (maybe you will see us on t.v., cause "baby no name" will be the newest and cutest mariners fan)

I love hippie stuff!

So we had our first "child birth preparation class" last night. I have to say that it was quite amazing. We got to ask a lot of questions and express how we feel about the whole havin a baby thing. It was really nice to hear what the other parents had to say about what they were feeling. It was comfortable and open and I just think that it is really nice to have a place where you can tell someone how you are feeling and not be judged.

The class is called Birthing from Within and it is taught by Carrie Kenner (with big belly services). She is this super cool laid back kinda hippie, who is super smart and worldly. It was just a lot of fun. Adam even had fun too!

As a little side note, baby is doing GREAT and my blood work is stable right now! So we just take every day one at a time, until Avery comes on his own, or things turn bad and we get that little guy out of there early. Thanks for thinking good things for us!

love ya - mean it!!
