We started Lamaze classes and Stork classes this week. Along with breathing exercises, they also give you overall instruction on what we can expect now, during labor, and after we return home with the baby. The most fascinating thing we've learned is that the rhythmic kicks we are seeing below my belly button are the baby's hiccups! They are so amazing. He gets them everyday, sometimes lasting up to 15 minutes. This is happens when he's sucking his thumb and air bubbles get through. How cute is that?! The great news from all of this is that babies who suck their thumbs in utero are most likely to be great nursers because they already have their sucking reflex. Yahooooo!
We had a doctor's appointment today. My belly is measuring a bit larger than what it's supposed to, so we know that Caden is growing super fast. However, my weight is only at 20 pounds, which is at the low end of the scale. At 33 weeks I'm ALL baby and ALL ready to see this little guy!
