Gavin James Koroknay.
We had an appointment yesterday with our midwife and everything seems to be great! I passed my glucose test, Gavin's heartbeat is still beating strong, his movement is constant and I only gained 3 pounds in one month. :) I'll admit, I was a little worried about the weight gain part when we first found out I was pregnant. Not to sound self-centered but it took me a long time to get my weight off and stay that way! I worked hard to fit into that wedding dress! HAHA! It has been 4 years since I weighed this much but it's definitely worth it... :)
This past weekend, we had to take the required childbirthing classes in order to deliver at the Breath of Life Birthing Center. Eric and I both learned a lot from the class and we left more excited about Gavin's arrival (despite the very vivid 1980's videos of 1 natural birth, 2 water births, and a TON of nipples!) We also had to try out different laboring/delivery positions and breathing exercises. What made it somewhat awkward was having my male co-worker and his pregnant wife there. Thanks to Kirk, Eric will be listening for a bell sound after every stage of labor. :)
So...Eric and I have a lot going on within the next couple of months. We have baby showers coming up; which we are VERY thankful for! We are now at the "every two weeks" appointments. We have "Godly Parenting Classes" starting this month. We have to set up Gavin's area soon. And we have over 6 garbage bags full of boys clothes that we need to sort through! Thanks Heather! :) At least we now have a dresser to put them all in thanks to my mom! So, please take note, I DO NOT NEED BABY CLOTHES!!! :)
Till next appointment....
