Wednesday is my favorite day of the week now. That is the day that marks my next week into pregnancy. For example tomorrow, I will be 16 weeks. Woot woot! Every Tuesday I look online to see what the babies will look like and how they've progressed from the previous week. It's rather amazing. I remember looking at 8 weeks and thinking how it's just a blob...but now there are real people in there! Well, they look like real people now, they've always been real...lol. You know what I mean. Anyway--it's pretty cool and every Wednesday excites me!
Last night, I was laying in bed talking with my good friend Kim on the phone and I could've swore I felt them moving. I honestly have no way of knowing, and it was really quick but it felt kind of like butterflies in there. I wasn't sure if it was like wishful thinking or if I actually felt it. I didn't feel it at all today, but it was exciting none the less. I can't wait to start feeling them. What a surreal experience pregnancy is.
I kind of feel like it's going by so quickly. I can't believe I am already at 16 weeks! I'm darn close to being halfway through! I was looking online today for birthing classes. I found a class at the hospital we are using, so I emailed the lady to sign up. I haven't heard back yet, but I am excited about it. I really wanted to find an official Lamaze class, but I couldn't find one. I find that to be unbelievable because Phoenix is huge! How could there not be one single Lamaze class offered anywhere in the valley? I am going to keep looking.
When I go to the doctor in 2 weeks I am going to see if they offer any birthing classes as well, or have any good ones they recommend. I plan on taking more than one, because I want to be as prepared for birth as possible. I want to learn all the techniques and hear all the opinions out there so I can decide for myself what will be best for me to use. I want to hear lots of stories about birthing experiences so I can be as prepared as possible. I feel like I am running out of time, so I need to get on the ball!
Well, I am going to go to bed. I have some wicked heartburn though, so we'll see how that goes tonight. I've been getting that a lot lately regardless of what I eat, or even if I eat at all!
Night night :-) Happy 16 weeks!

I bet you DID feel them move! How exciting! :) Check out Bradley classes--a friend of ours did Bradly and her OB made sure everyone knew they did Bradly and were uber serious about natural birth! :)
I've been thinking about Bradley. I just read a Lamaze book and was going to move on to Bradley next lol. I did see some Bradley classes offered so I might go that route too.
I feel badly for waitng until almost halfway through my pregnancy to start doing research but I was so scared about a m/c I didn't want to think about it until I was out of the first trimester. So now I have lots to catch up on!
