So here are some updates. We decided to switch to a birth center for the final trimester, birth and after care.
Since being in the hospital was the most stressful part for us, we looked into other options. The birth center and a midwife just seemed like the right way to go.. I went and looked at the facility and met with them today. Looks like its going to be a good experience. The appointments are held in the birth room and i get to bring Olivia with me. She can just sit on the bed with me while i get checked out. AND if she is good, she gets to get a toy out of the treasure box.
It just seems a lot more relaxed and family orientated.
We are going to finish out the next 2 appointments with the current clinic though. With all the blood work and ultrasounds left it seems to make sense for the next couple. I would have to travel offsite anyway for those things.
Anyway, here is the website if you want to have a look http://www.birthcenter.com/
Olivia has warmed up to the idea of having a baby brother or sister and is being very helpful to Joan who now has a couple cutie little babies at her daycare.
Yesterday Olivia was walking around sticking her stomach out telling us she had a baby in her belly too. Ben asked if it was a giraffe, she said yes.
Anyway! back to GBG
All is looking great for the silly little bear. He/she is so active every time we get an ultrasound! Today GBG was doing some karate chops and kicks and being all sorts of wiggly worms.What a cutie!
We are so excited. This time is just as exciting as the first time, I think we are just a little less nervous!
So GBG is the picture of health! Heartbeat is 153, size and measurements all look great, my blood pressure is good and all my good tests are good and my bad tests are negative! Hooray!!!
Love you Gummi Bear!!
