Week 36

We are definitely getting close! I am seeing the doctor every week now. At my appointment on April 5 my doctor didn't really say much. He was more excited when I told him about having Braxton Hicks than anything else. Things are going well for us. I am sleeping fairly well despite having to get up to use the bathroom.
We started our prenatal classes this week and let me tell you, it was an experience. Of all the women there I am the only one about to pop. Everyone else is due at the end of June and beginning of July. I look HUGE compared to everyone else. You could just see the looks of disbelief and pity when I walked into the room. When we went around the room and introduced ourselves and told our due dates, the instructor told me she hoped I made it through all the classes. We went over massage and breathing techniques for labor for most of the class. Jarrett kept me amused the entire time with his usual antics. I enjoyed seeing Jarrett on the mat attempting to "push out the baby" more than anything else. I really should have taken a picture. At one point the instructor asked us who was breech. No one said anything and then Jarrett spoke up and said "I was breech." The entire class broke out laughing because our instructor was referring to the babies and not us. Jarrett also inspired our instructor to amuse us with tales of men passing out in the delivery room. She told him to sit in the chair by my head so he wouldn't hit anything when he passed out. Overall the class was pretty good. We meet 3 more times and I do hope we can get our money's worth from the class.
I will post a new picture by the end of the week. I have a shower given by my sister-in-laws on Saturday and a shower on Wednesday (April 18) given by teachers at school. Of course, my last day at school is April 20. . .and I am counting down.
