Making Progress!


36w1d

Catching up- A few weeks ago, Ben and I attended our birthing and breastfeeding classes.  We definitely learned a lot (and saw more than we ever hoped to see...), but I think my favorite part was when they had all the fathers-to-be try on a back pack (worn in the front) with 25 pounds of ‘stuff’ crammed inside.  It was very amusing to see all the reactions to what their wives are loading around (plus some) each day. 

Also, we have been extremely blessed with so many great friends and family members hosting showers for us.  We had one at my work, one with my friends/family, and one more is set for next week from Ben’s work (and a diaper shower from Ben's friends has been mentioned, but I'm not sure on the plans for that yet)!  I am in awe of how generous everyone has been to us!  We really appreciate all of the support!  Ava is one lucky baby to already be surrounded by so many caring people.

More recently- I had a doctor appointment yesterday, and things went very well!  I had a few typical tests done (which I won’t get results of until next time), and they checked Ava’s position and my cervical changes.  Ava is head down and ready to go! And I am starting to dilate (1cm)!  Yay!  I know it could still be weeks, but at least it now feels like there is light at the end of the tunnel! 


Final thing- completely not on the topic of baby- Ben ran his first half marathon this week!  I am so proud of him!
