I either was in a rare mood this weekend, or I hit the nesting phase a bit early. I cleaned ALL DAY Saturday. It started with organizing the closet (prompted by Jason pulling everything off the top shelf, and making a pile in the middle of our bedroom so that we could sort through it). It then spanned to re-organizing our dresser drawers and the cabinet under the bathroom sink, scrubbing the floor of our shower, and then using an entire can of Resolve while I scrubbed out stains from our livingroom floor. None of that is like me at all, and being on my hands and knees at 8 months pregnant was not at all comfortable. But I couldn't stop. The good news is that our house is almost as clean and organized as it was when we moved in!
We have our second Lamaze class tonight. I'm excited about this one, because tonight we get to take a tour of the maternity/labor&delivery unit at the hospital. We'll also be watching some graphic birth videos, which should be interesting. I'm actually more interested to watch Jason's face as he watches the video than I am to watch the video itself. I've done so much reading and research over the past 8 months, so doubt that anything will shock me until I go through labor myself. But it will be interesting to see Jason play catch-up to what I know throughout these classes!
Now for the update from BabyCenter.com. She's getting big!
Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in your womb, she isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times she kicks should remain about the same. Her kidneys are fully developed now, and her liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — she'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.
