Today we had our 34 week appointment. Dr. Seiler delivered 6 babies today and we still got in there within an hour! Overall, things are going well. We did ask her to feel around and tell us where the various body parts were. By feeling, she thinks the head is on my upper right side, meaning Baby B is breech. So...we have an ultrasound next appointment (November 4th) to see what's going on. No big deal to us either way.
This past Saturday, Brian and I attend "Prepared Childbirth" class at the hospital. We got to see the labor and delivery rooms, nursery, etc. Some of the videos they showed were pretty graphic and I think Brian is scarred for life. (He actually will probably admit to most people that he is an advocate of the C-section and almost hopes that the baby is breech.) They also cover basic newborn care stuff, which we've read, but it was good to have repeated. On Sunday, we quizzed each other on how to bathe a newborn and how to take care of the umbilical cord. We also diapered our stuffed monkey and then strapped him in the car seat. After sharing this with my mom, she decided that we're either really strange or really excited. I'd say probably a little of both of those but we're also really nervous.
Maybe Baby B wasn't a good nickname...but now we have a tongue twister. Baby B is Breech...say that 5 times fast! More news on the "breechness" in a couple of weeks.
