No time to write everything I’d intended . . . we’re off, along with our friend Andy, to Utah tomorrow morning for a quick little ski vacation. (Carol, I didn’t let you know b/c on Saturday I won’t be there—am planning to go into Salt Lake City to the Family History Library for research, and I probably won’t be back until late.) Jonathan is looking forward to it greatly and will be in the ski school/play program for 4-yr-olds on Saturday and Sunday. I, of course, will not be skiing, but hopefully it will be a nice holiday for me too.
Had my 28-wk appointment with the midwife today—everything looks great, including my blood pressure (thank you Mom for your good genes!), which was 102/58. I also got a shot of Rhogam (boo Dale for being a different Rhesus factor than I am) in my glutes and had to fast all morning and then drink a sugary drink for the glucosamine test (gestational diabetes, I believe). The last couple of weeks I have slowed down a LOT. (Once Jonathan’s in bed, I come sit down in front of my computer to get some research done, and my brain just chugs to a stop in revolt. About all I have brainpower for any more in the evenings is solitaire.) The only real issue I’m having is with backache; I may have to give in and get one of those maternity belts to support my uterus, because it’s definitely out in front of me, and it’s pulling on my lower back something awful.
We hired a doula last week to be a labor companion for us, and next week (on the day we return from Utah) our hypnobirthing classes start. We have only one more four-week appointment at the birthing center and then it’s down to every two weeks. Eeeek!
