Looking forward to: Seeing my mom and grandma on Thursday. Being able to organize baby girls room when we get a dresser from my mom on Thursday. Also, the two classes I'm required to take in the next 2 weeks!

NOT Looking forward to: Nothing I can think of right now

I had my appointment this morning and everything looks good. Heart beat is strong and I'm measuring right on track. Of my 2 doctors I met with the one I like more. He delivered Riley and he's just very friendly. I like my other doctor as well, but he's not as personable. Today the doctor I met with told me he signed off on me delivering in the birthing center. He said he thinks I'm a perfect candidate and he's excited for me. I'd been flipping through the Hypnobirthing book when he walked in so we talked about that for a little while and he said the best tip he can give is to prepare. He told me there have been 2 water births at the birthing center since they opened(they don't plan for water births but sometimes they happen) and he delivered both of them. He said at his previous practice they had tons of water births so he is very familiar with them. He told me that if you get in the water at 8+ cm there is very little chance of you delivering outside of the tub because your body just gets so relaxed and you don't want to move by the point you feel like you should push. So apparently that's what I need to do if I want a water birth ;) haha. Talking to him got me even more excited for having this little girl at the birthing center in a couple months!!
I don't have another appointment for another 4 weeks, then I'll start going in every week or every other week. It'll be soon!!!
