Doctor appointment and baby classes

Yesterday was a busy day for us. We had our 30 week doctor appointment and everything went great. My doctor was really happy with the way this pregnancy is progressing and kept saying we are making his job really easy. It's always so good to hear that and to hear the baby's heartbeat. I am right in line with the "typical" weight gain, which was also good to hear. Rob did remember to ask if it's ok for me to change the cat litter box and needless to say I wasn't to happy with the answer. My doctor said as long as the cats don't get out and eat small woodland animals I shouldn't have any problems changing the cat litter. I really did like the 6 month break.

After the doctor we had our first birthing class. It is 2.5 hours long and lasts for EIGHT weeks but they cover everything! From labor, delivery, nursing to caring for an infant. All of which both Rob and I don't know much about. Even though they did some let's get to know each other activities, which can sometimes painful, it was a really good class. It was interesting to talk to people about being pregnant that are also pregnant. I really enjoyed hearing Rob answer some of the questions and talk about the pregnancy since we don't talk much about it. OK I talk about it, but normally he just listens. Plus the instructor keep giving the dads information specifically for them, tips for how they might be feeling when the time comes and things they can do to help keep the moms comfortable and supported. I was kind of nervous going in to the class with not knowing what to expect, but I am really glad we signed up for this class. I think both Rob and I will learn a lot from this class and hopefully they won't show us to many graphic delivery videos. :)

I am so thankful for how great Rob has been though this whole pregnancy. Because I can't do as much as I used to he has been so helpful! I almost have to fight him to let me do somethings around the house. I am truly lucky to have such a great husband.
