22 Weeks

Today I am officially entering into my 6th month! I cannot believe how fast it is going by. We attended our first Bradley birthing class last Tuesday night. It was such a great class and it was really encouraging. There is only one other couple taking the course with us and they seem great. We chose to take the Bradley class instead of the course offered through the hospital because of its emphasis on natural childbirth and on educating the father in a way that will allow them to coach the wife through childbirth. Jeremy is really excited about the class and it has already been a great way for him to become more involved with the pregnancy. Our first class taught us about exercises that we can do during pregnancy to better prepare our bodies for labor. They have been alot of fun and have helped alot with back pain. Our next class is dealing with nutrition. We had a couple come visit our class last week and they had a 2 week old little girl named Hope. They were such an encouraging couple and come to find out, they were patients of Dr. Morales. Not only that, but they were the couple that Dr. Morales told us about who chose not to find out the sex of their baby so it was really awesome to get to meet them and hear their story. They said the thrill of finding out the sex of the baby in the birthing room was unlike anything they have ever experienced.

I began the last two weeks of my practicum this past Thursday. So, I still have 8 days remaining. Everything has gone well so far although I have definitely been tired by the end of the 10 hour days. My favorite part is seeing the newborn babies! I am sure that has something to do with me being pregnant but whatever the reason, I love them. ;)

This past Monday we were able to get our carpet cleaned as a gift for renewing our lease at our apartment. Slowly but surely we are getting the place ready for the new baby! We are just so blessed that the pregnancy is going well and that Baby Wolter is doing great! Thank you for your prayers and support.
