So, for a quick update........
Jean had her 32 week appointment on Wednesday of this week. She is right on track as far as size goes (like the doctor would tell her if she was bigger than usual!!). Baby heartbeat was at 140, the same as last check-up. Starting in August, the appointments go weekly so they can keep a closer eye on her, and be prepared for the big day! Her hands and feet have become swollen as of late, so she has been forced to "surrender" her wedding ring. This week has also been a breakthrough on other fronts. Jean, early in the week, realized that she could eat nuts now, without Gall pain, and "agreed" to go out for Chinese food to see if the deep fried would aggravate her anymore. No such problems, and it appears as the gall problems may be a thing of the past. Keep your fingers crossed!!
On a different front, Friday, we had the first labor and delivery class. Its alot of information coming at you very quickly, but is also very informative and really helped us feel more prepared for our new arrival. After the class, we returned home, and as we were getting ready for bed, I reached over to rub her belly, and felt the baby give me a high-five!! I told Jean about it, and she asked, "How do you know it was a hand?" I had no clue, but it really did feel like a hand. Soon (seconds really) after, Jean was feeling in the same spot, and all of a sudden, (say it with me folks, you can all hear her saying it) says, "Oh My God!!" She had felt the same thing and agreed, must be a hand! Class was also 9-4 on Saturday and continued at the fast, but informative pace. So glad we attended!!
