36 Weeks

Today, I’m starting into my 36th week.  The past few weeks have really flown by and expect these last ones to do the same.  I’ll post some new belly photos this weekend so you can see how big things are getting.  The baby isn’t moving around as much now since space is much tighter in there.  I’m anxious to see the doctors on Monday and find out how things are going.  I’ve been feeling pretty good besides just being very tired.

In Lamaze class last night we took a tour of the Huntington Hospital.  The entrance and lobby are really grand and feel like an a resort, nothing like a traditional hospital when you enter.  The labor, delivery, and recovery (LDR) suits have a relaxing atmosphere to them (I posted a few photos below).  They really want you to be as comfortable as possible and we think it will be a great place to have our little one.

The instructor walked us through where to go and what we can expect when we arrive.  It was nice to actually see everything so we know the drill when it’s time.  The last stop on the tour was the nursery and saw all the tiny babies.  They were so cute!!  We also went over a few more techniques to deal with labor pain and saw a educational film on epidurals.  I am enjoying these classes and really excited after leaving our class last night.

My work week has been busy.  I’m exhausted and I’ll be so glad when Friday comes.  I’ve been training the new person that is taking over for me. She’ll be a nice addition to the group.  So far it’s going really well but there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to get it all in.

Our weather is still lovely!  I have been able to keep up my walking every night since I’m not having to deal with the heat.  I apologize that I keep talking about the weather but I just can’t get over that it’s so cool out.  It’s so rare for this time of year and have been very lucky!
