Everything went well today at the Dr's. Ultrasound looked good---we'll do one more much closer to the due date. Baby is still breach, but there is plenty of time to turn yet. Heartbeat sounds good--all my vitals are good too (my blood pressure went back up a little...it was 96 last time and is up to 104---(top number)---so that is better.)
The sugary Orange flavored stuff wasn't too bad---tastes like Orange Crush with a couple of extra tablespoons of sugar. Hopefully that little test comes out ok, because I hate having my blood drawn.
We preregistered our paperwork to be checked into the hospital in May...or maybe April now. They don't actually change the due dates, but Dr. Crider says the baby is measuring to be due around April 23 instead....now, that doesn't mean the baby will be ready to come out then so we're maintaining a May 2 due date. Of course, this may mean we have a bigger baby. yikes! Thanks a lot Adam! (Just kiddin'--although he WAS 9lbs 6oz taken out a week early).
We will see him again on Feb. 21 (3 weeks) which will be the 30 week checkup. After that, we'll see him every 2 weeks until baby is born.
After the appointment, we dined on some fantastic Pizzeria Uno deep dish tonight while mulling over names...again.
All in all, a great day!

Hi Rebecca! I'm glad you liked the poem on my website. Feel free to post it on your blog--I don't know who wrote it; I found it on a message board on BabyCenter.com. :)
Glad to hear, too, that the hypnobirthing is working well for you! Please email me if you have any questions about what you're learning and how to apply it in labor. :)

glad to hear all is well! i wish i could offer experiences on hypnobirthing, but most of my patients don't even go to prenatal birthing or parenting classes and some do not even get prenatal care. occasionally we get in a patient who comes prepared with a doula. often we get patients who do not want any medications during labor and they use (and we encourage) ambulation, the birth balls (they really do work miracles!) and the tub/shower. so i do not have much experience with hypnobirthing. however, i will say whatever you choose for labor and birthing, i feel the most important thing is that you are prepared and informed and realize that at any moment you may change your mind and that is ok. people are allowed to change their minds and do something not in their 'plan'.
so...since some people know the sex of baby rosenbaum and others do not want to know until the birthday of baby rosenbaum (like me!) are there safeguards in place or do you think we may all find out sooner than later?
it's already february first! your due date is quickly approaching! i think it's time for another picture!
