Had my 27 week check up yesterday - we were hoping to get new ultrasounds, but our midwife says that he's getting too big by now. This one was taken at 19 weeks. Isn't technology amazing?! Sorry if it freaks anyone out - I admit that he looks like a claymation figure at this stage. We were able to listen to his heartbeat at yesterday's checkup, and it sounds totally different now! Before, it was like a distant echo, and lots of distortion - now it's a strong, steady heartbeat. We start birthing classes this weekend (Bradley method) - I'm shooting for a natural birth, keeping in mind that anything can happen. Fortunately, I feel like my caregivers truly respect my intentions, and I won't be caught off-guard or pressured into making decisions that I don't entirely understand. We've also found a doula whom we both really like, and she will help us every step of the way. Meanwhile I'm soaking up these last few months of lazy mornings, occasional yoga classes and peace & quiet! :)
