Baby Makes the Belly Go Round...

that's what Jason likes to tell me all the time while he's rubbing it and laughing. It has been hard for him to feel her moving lately because she stops as soon as he puts his hand in the spot that she's moving in. But, last night we were laying in bed and I rolled over on my side and put his hand on the side of my belly to feel her. He felt her moving around for almost 10 minutes. He said "it's about time she do something when I put my hand there!" I said "this is what she does from about lunch time until 3pm everyday!"

About 2:30 this morning loud thunder woke me, the dogs, and the baby up. Riley must have been scared because she jumped up in the bed and laid horizontal between me and Jason. She put her head on his hip and her feet on me. Every time a really loud one would hit, the baby would squirm inside my belly, and the dog would jump. I guess that means the baby probably won't sleep through thunder storms. Possum followed Riley's idea and got up in the bed and curled around Jason's head.

I talked to the nurse at my doctor's office today. Next Wednesday I have my appointment with Dr. Appel at 11:30am, a sonogram at 12:15, and then I have to go to the lab to do my gestational diabetes test. So, it's going to be a full afternoon at the doctor. There is a spa inside the Women's Healthcare Building, so Jason informed me today that I could just schedule him an appointment at the spa while I'm going to all my appointments. I don't think that's going to happen!

I got the paperwork in the mail today for our childbirth classes. I had mentioned in a previous post that Jason was oddly excited about going to the breastfeeding class. Well, I was reading through the paperwork today and it turns out that when I spoke with the lady on the phone and had told her my husband would be attending all the classes with me, she put him in the "Daddy Bootcamp" class. I was laughing so hard today when I was telling him he would be attending "Bootcamp" while I was in the breastfeeding class. Looks like he'll be missing out on any "demonstations." Haha!! I don't think he's too excited about that one, but hopefully he will still be willing to go. He's pretty open minded and laid back so I'm sure he'll just grin and bear it.
