Catching Up

Its been a busy couple of weeks for wif.  Two Wednesday's ago, hub and wif started childbirth preparation class.  There are about nine or ten other couples taking the class; most of them seem pretty friendly.  So far hub and wif have learned a little and been exposed to some fairly disturbing images.  Work has been very busy for wif - her to do list just keeps getting longer.  This morning hub and wif took infant CPR class.  This was pretty useful.  Hub and wif both feel pretty confident that they could perform the necessary CPR tasks if necessary.  Hub is upstairs listening to football and putting ogether baby's crib now.  Oregon isn't looking so hot at the end of the 2nd quarter.  Wif is thinking of vacuuming the downstairs and maybe the upstairs.  The hosue is getting a little unruly.  However, a nap is also sounding pretty appealing right now.  Wif checked in with the doctor last week on a few issues.  She learned the following:

• She cannot travel by air as of 34 weeks (October 22).
• She can try a number remedies for the wicked heartburn she's been experiencing.
• She needs to check at her next appointment about the ultrasound to determine the location of the placenta.
• Apparently it is normal for the baby to feel like she is operating a jackhammer in wif's belly.
• She passed her glucose screen with a score of 100; the cutoff is 140.

Wif is noticing that the tireds are creeping back into her life.  Wif spent most of the second trimester full of energy; however, lately wif has been feeling pretty nap-like.  I guess its probably a combination of growing baby and busy busy work.

The baby has been keeping pretty busy for the past week and a half or so.  She seems to be getting bigger and stronger.  So far I have not experienced the foot in the ribs so many mothers describe, but she's still got a bit of time to kick me rib-wise.
