This week we had another baby class (only one more! yea!) This time we were able to talk with one of the anesthesiologists at the hospital about epidurals and the other anesthesia that is commonly used during labor and delivery. It really was a very interesting hour, and I can honestly say I'm much more relaxed about the whole process. I was never anxious enough to consider forgoing drugs, but I'd be lying if I said the process didn't worry me a little bit before. Now that we know more of the details, saw the items that would be used for the procedure, and was able to ask questions to one of the people who may eventually be performing my epidural, I feel much more relaxed about it. Yes, there are risks with it, but they are very minimal. I just know that my pain tolerance isn't what it would need to be in order to have a truly all natural birth. I'm not opposed to waiting for a while and trying to handle the pain on my own for a bit, but that's about it. Just for a bit. ha!
Yesterday they threw a shower at school for me and the two other employees who are having babies in December. We got so many great things. Baby K's stock pile is continuing to grow. Sophie continues to wonder what all this stuff is for and why it's invading "her space." She has found a new place to sleep during the day. She definitely thinks the glider is her chair now. Not that I can blame her. It is super soft and cushy, so I'd want to sleep in it too if I were her. It's just funny to watch her. She definitely thinks she's queen of the mountain when she's in it :o)
Well...now that you've had the rundown on the week, here is this week's belly shot :o)
