We have 10 weeks until my due date! Although, most people deliver in the week after their due date so I am trying not to get too excited. There has been lots going on around the Bittner house over the last few weeks and we have more to come before the baby arrives. I am now going to doctor every 2 weeks so I have had two appointments since my last blog. At our last appointment I had my glucose check and iron check. Everything was fine. I don’t have diabetes, but I have gained more weight than I’d like to admit! I hate the scale about now! At my last appointment, the doctor guessed that I having a boy because the heartbeat was around 130. At my appointment today, it was up around 140, so who knows. Everything has been going very well and I am still feeling great! My belly has really grown and changed shape over the last week or so.
A few weeks ago we had friends over to watch the Iowa vs. Iowa State game. It was fun together, but the game turned out to be quite a blow out. That same night Ed, our friend Matt, and I went to see Hayes Carll in concert. It was just a little bar, but the show was great. The baby
liked the music and seemed to be kicking a lot. I haven’t really had to worry too much about feeling the baby moving because he/she seems to move all day and all night. When I was singing songs at school the baby moved a lot, too.
This weekend we are really excited to take a trip down to Kansas City to visit Dad and Diana and to watch the Chiefs vs. 49ers game. Go Niners! I really hope they win! I think we have been on the go more now that I am pregnant than before! We are also planning to go to Iowa City for a football game late in October…if I am still up for it. I really hope I’m up for it because I love being at the games. I even have my future Hawkeye maternity shirt to wear to the game! We also have our first baby shower in a few weeks. That will be so much fun! I can’t wait to bring home things for the baby. It will probably get me more anxious for baby to come! We also installed a car seat in Ed’s car and got it inspected so that is one less thing to worry about later on. I know Ed laughs at all the things I do really early, but I am hoping to avoid too much panic in the final weeks!
We started our childbirth classes this week. We have 1 a week for the next five weeks. I really enjoyed the first class and our instructor puts a lot of humor into everything. I am hoping to set my mind at ease and get us both more informed about the actual childbirth. I have been trying to avoid the subject up until now. 10 weeks seems like it’s still a ways off, but then I remember that I’ve been pregnant for 30 weeks. I am really happy to be so close to being a mom! It’s getting harder and harder for me to go to work because I think my body is preparing me for mommy mode. I really can’t get over how amazing this whole experience has been so far. I end almost every night by peeking into the baby’s room and thinking about how a baby will be in there very soon. I hope all is well with everyone! Take care!
