I went in for my routine checkup and everything is progressing very well. Nikki's growing and I'm sort of using my belly button as a marker to check how much she's grown. The belly button hasn't popped out yet but, ummm, I'll give it a month or so. We started our lamaze classes last Thursday. It's a 2 and a half hour class and we have to meet for a total of 5 classes. In the first class, I think the most pertinent information that was told could've taken just an hour or less. What I got out of it was that I needed to practice squatting and breathing. Since getting pregnant, I haven't really been excercising a whole lot. When the times comes and I have to deliver Nikki, muscles that I haven't been exercising will get a shocking surprise. So essentially, I need to practice squatting so when it is time, I'm hoping the pain won't be as bad and I'll have better stamina. But who the hell knows if all this is true?!? I'm just hoping that what they're telling me will help and if I prepare enough, it will ease the pain and discomfort.
Just 8 more weeks to go until baby comes! I'll be on my 8th month next week and so the count down continues.
P.S. I'm blessed with an amazing husband. He threw me a surprise Baby Shower last weekend and it was wonderful. There were maybe 70 or so people that attended and he had Hawaiian dancers perform. Although, I wasn't completely surprised, he still managed to pull it off and did an awesome job at that. I'm very lucky!!!
The proud Papa!
