Man, I can't believe i forgot to put an entry about our class last Tuesday. It was kinda important because we discuss about what to expect about labor. When we are going to call or go. It was definitely helpful. We have a guest speaker for doula but i don't think I would like to have one since I am not the kind of person that want to talk when it come to pain and stuff. I just like to be alone and relax. Next Tuesday I definitely write an entry for our class again. I am excited to go to one since I love to learn stuff when it comes to my baby.
She is been very active, I have been feeling her everyday and she reacts when I eat and drink. What I also notice is she moves and kicks a lot when I am in the car and especially when I am driving.
I just can't wait to give her a big hug.

Regular Pregnancy Visit
Today is my routine visit to my health care provider. My Glucose test from the previous came back okay and my pap smear result are also fine. The only thing that was borderline was my iron level. It is in the borderline of being low. So I guess I just have to eat more food that are high in iron to help my iron level. Then they also check the position of my baby which is head down and she is a posterior baby which means she is crooked and the best position for a baby is when the baby is facing the mother. She advice me to do certain stuff to make the baby move and maybe change its position. So am trying to do it for me and my baby's benefit.
Today was quite a long busy day but it is definitely okay for me. As long as i can have my little nap I am ready to go again!!

Our First Class
Yup we had our first class Tuesday March 17th. It's just mainly like overview and introduction since we have other couples / pregnant women who are doing the class too. We had our pop quiz which was helpful. The instructor showed us things which are pretty basic which I still considered pretty helpful especially to us because this going to be our first time parents and I know we still have a lot of stuff to learn.
So far my pregnancy is been very good and enjoyable. My back pains are still there but it not too much anymore since we don't have cold weather anymore. I always have back pains when it's cold even when I wasn't pregnant. Thank God it kinda went away.
Now the kicks are getting stronger and the movements are so obvious, I actually enjoyed it. I can't help but feel the moment knowing that my baby is moving and doing it's exercise. I definitely love the idea of feeling my baby every second every move she makes. I don't want to miss anything. It's just so cool that I actually can have a baby and I am going to be the mother of this new creature.
I get pretty emotional when I see other babies on TV and thinking that I will have one soon. It's just so amazing how I blessed I am to be able to have my own child to take care and love.

Month Seven
Baby
Your baby's eyes can now open and close and can sense light changes. The lanugo is starting to disappear from the baby's face. Your baby's hearing is getting better. He or she can now hear the outside world quite well over the sound of your heartbeat. The baby exercises by kicking and stretching. He or she can also make grasping motions and likes to suck its thumb.
Your baby is coated with a waxy substance called vernix caseosa which protects his skin, and he is building up a layer of fat which will help him to maintain his body temperature once he is born.
Your baby is continuing to grow and develop. If the baby was born now, its chances of survival are better than last month, (28 weeks - 90% of babies survive premature birth) some complications are still possible. By the end of this month, your baby will be approximately 16 inches (42 cm) long and weigh about 2.5 or 3 pounds (1100 to 1400 grams).
Mother
As your stomach expands, you may notice stretchmarks on your stomach or thighs. Your navel will begin to stick out if it doesn't already. Indigestion can be a problem as your growing baby presses on your stomach. Some women have lower back pain or sciatic pain as the abdomen grows larger and the pelvic joints loosen in preparation for delivery. Leg cramps may pose a problem; adequate calcium in your diet can help.
You may feel painless contractions, called Braxton Hicks contractions. These contractions are a way for your uterus to ''practice'' and do not signify the onset of labour. Your antenatal checks will increase in frequency, perhaps to every 2-3 weeks. Remember to give your employer notice of when you plan to stop work and when you plan to return.

7 Months and counting
I have been very busy lately that I have no time to write a blog for my baby updates. Yes, I am in my 7 months now, actually 28 weeks going on 29 now. My baby Aubrey is been quite active which I can tell when is her sleeping and wake period. She been very reactive to foods and liquids that I take which makes me happy. I am not quite sure if she likes to be in the car since she always react when I am in the car especially when I am driving most definitely when I am driving quite fast.
Next week we are going to attend classes so I'll write updates on that.
