Birthing Classes

Sorry about the delay in posting, We've been busy with the upcoming holidays that we don't have a chance to update this as quickly as before.

On the 30th of November Sarah had her first every 2 week doctors appointment. Everything is good, she doesn't have gestational diabetes and because of her family history of blood clotting they did a few blood tests for something called Factor V we will get the results of that in a week or so. Also Morgan's heart rate was 135 and Sarah's tummy measured in at 28 weeks which she's actually 29 but the doctor said that was okay. Every day Sarah looks more and more pregnant it's amazing how fast things "grow". Her next appointment is the 14th, i wasn't able to attend her last one but i'll be there for this one. Here Dad went in my place.

On the 29th we started the first of 4 birthing classes at St. Joes Health Center. The first class was very informative i learned allot of the terminology that the doctors/nurses use during pregnancy so i won't be asking so many questions. Unfortinatly we registered for the birthing classes at the wrong St. Joes so we won't get a tour to see where to go and when to go there but during Sarah's next visit to her OB we will go up to labor and delivery and see if they have charts and graphs or something. I hate surprises and i want to know where i need to be and when i need to be there cause I'm sure it's going to be chaos when she does arrive and i don't want to add to the madness. We also had the joy of watching a birthing video and this isn't something you'd see on TLC or Discovery channel, there were no blurry bars to cover up things. I made it through that so i was pretty proud of myself. And i'm sure with all the commotion going on in the delivery room i won't have a chance to get sick. Well time to run, Sarah and I are going to the Mills to Baby's R Us to look at baby Travel Systems aka Strollers.

Love Ya,
-James/Sarah/Morgan
