29 Weeks

At 29 weeks ...

- things are still progressing nicely. No major changes or noteworthy issues this week, thank goodness!

- there's still lots to do to prepare for the big arrival. On one hand, I'm glad we have some time but 11 weeks doesn't sound like much!

- my main concerns are: getting temporary insurance for the baby, the move in general, whether or not I'll be ready to work Aug 6 for new teacher orientation or even by the first day on Aug 15, and my newest addition: the fact that this little angel has to actually come out of me. 

- we had our childbirth class (the origin of my latest worry). 

To say Rob was not excited about spending his entire Saturday (9am-4pm) watching graphic videos and practicing breathing techniques is an understatement. However, he was a trooper and obviously learned some important info. I'm glad we went and it was a helpful day overall. 

The highlight of my day was when five of us couples were squished in the elevator and it started making a buzzing noise as the doors closed slowly. Everyone laughed nervously and started joking about going into labor (especially the girl who was already dilated to a 3. What?!) . I turned to look at Rob who did not think it was funny and really didn't appreciate when I said, "It's ok, he's a doctor!". Night.mare.

Oh, and I clearly thought we would be the star students with him being a doctor and a me a teacher, but I failed us miserably when we showed up without the only thing we were instructed to bring - two pillows. Whoops. It worked out find since we had time to come home over lunch but I was disappointed!
