3lbs!! oh baby baby!

Baby can be compared to the size of a head of cabbage, weighing almost a full 3 pounds! I'm blown away by the developments he's making so quickly. Sleep is rough and not happening because I'm so uncomfortable, I guess it's good preparation for when baby gets here... 9 more weeks to go. I like saying 9 weeks because it doesn't sound as long at 2.5 months. I get more and more excited for baby as his movements get stronger by day. My tummy looks like an alien has taken over in the evening hours, words can't explain the weird flutter feelings.
We started our birthing classes and they're going great. I really like our instructor, she's been a doula for a couple of years and present at over 50 births. We're in a pretty big class with 13 other couples, I think 8 of us are having boys.. tis the season for boys! We watched a labor movie going through all the stages. Ugghh.. I don't think I'm ready for it. I've been having dreams about going into labor and doing things all wrong, not progressing the way I should be, baby not being in the right position, all kinds of scary complications... I need to cut it out! Worrying isn't going to do anything for me at this point. I look forward to the next several Tuesday nights. I think it's going to be good learning and preparation. :)

Last weekend I went shopping with my friend Lauryn and her new baby. Emma's only 2 months old and had a total meltdown while we were standing in a gigantic line. I thought I'd take her and Savannah back out to the car and hopefully settle her down, but oh boy was I in for it. Savannah freaked out and got super jealous as soon as we were out of the store, thankfully Emma stopped crying and calmed down. It was horrible. She refused to walk so I had to carry her and push the stroller with Emma all the way out to the car. Suddenly the reality of having a toddler and new baby hit me.. NOT so easy! Savannah loves talking about brodder but I definitely think we're going to have some jealousy issues. Maybe not as bad as they are with Emma, but having to share the attention is going to be quite an adjustment for this stubborn little princess.

I'll keep the updates coming! xoxo

Floating baby

Doctors appointment this week went well. I saw my test results for the glucose test online and I think they came back fine. I guess I don't really know what I'm looking at, but if there's something wrong I'm sure they'll contact me. Doctor said everything looks good, baby is growing as he should be. He also said I was under weight for a while there, but since my last appointment I've caught up and I'm exactly where I should be. I'm just not allowed to make a jump like that again! haha No more sweets and giving into the cravings... fruits and veggies yum yum yum! He also said baby is a floater. Sometimes baby's head is already down but not my guy, he's still floating! He'll make that transition in the next few weeks, which means I'm that much closer to Delivery Day!! EEEK!
Our child birth classes start next week and I can't wait. I'm very much looking forward to them. I'm not sure what to expect or what we'll learn, but I'm excited. I've also been working on figuring out my maternity leave. What a headache!! My HR department has been NO help at all, the woman doesn't know what she's talking about or she's not explaining things very well. I've done lots of asking around and reading up on CA website. I think I have it figured out but haven't got an official approval yet. I'm planning to leave April 5th and return either July 23rd or August 25th. That's all for now.. <3
