June 7, 2009 - Week 34

We had another prenatal class this week and Paul also went by himself to one class called "Boot Camp for Dads". They had recent Dads come in with their newborns for this presentation so Paul had the opportunity to change a few diapers. He is now experienced so I want him to do this all the time :-) I went for a regular doctor's checkup. From now on, I will be going every week. Our baby is doing fine, kicks pretty good and has a heartbeat of 143 beats per minute. The doctor measured my belly, which was 31 centimeters, so they know if the baby is growing appropriately. She told me this is about average so everything seems OK. I weigh myself every week about the same time and I realize I've already gained 32 pounds. I still have about 5 weeks to go...oh well. I don't know where all the weight is hiding because everyone is telling me that I don't look that big.
On Saturday, one of our coworkers celebrated his 40th birthday so we went to his party. The whole weekend I felt sleepy. It was raining and to our surprise the tornado sirens in town went off. I guess they had a little tornado north of us. I thought my head would split because of the changing weather. On Sunday, we visited our former coworker who gave birth to a baby girl in January and now has decided to stay at home with the baby. She gave birth in the same hospital where we are going to so we had a lot to talk about. We also shopped for new carpet in our baby's room. Paul was showing his skills in the kitchen on Sunday afternoon when he grilled the perfect steak with potatoes. I am using my new herb garden for cooking which adds a lot of flavor. I am also enjoying my outdoor flowers.

Tento tyden jsme opet meli dalsi predporodni lekci a Paul jel sam na ojedinelou lekci nazvanou neco jako "Kemp pro tatinky". Rikal, ze tam byli novopeceni tatinkove, kteri davali rady a take si budouci tatinci mohli zkusit prebalit jejich mrnouse. Paul uz je ted zaskoleny, tak budu chtit, aby prebalovat sam i nadale, ha. Ja jsem sla na beznou prohlidku k doktorovi. Nyni uz budu chodit kazdy tyden. Nasemu ditku se dari dobre, hodne kope a ma 143 tepu za minutu. Doktorka me zmerila brisko, ktere bylo 31 cm od kosti k pupku, aby zjistili, jestli ditko primerene roste. Rikala, ze je to prumerna delka a ze vsechno je vporadku. Kazdy tyden rano ve zhruba stejnou dobu se vazim a ted jsem zjistila, ze uz jsem pribrala 15 kg a to mam jeste 5 tydnu k porodu...no jo...Nevim, kde tu vahu v sobe nosim, protoze me kazdy rika, ze nevypadam tak velika.
V sobotu jsme oslavovali narozeniny naseho spolupracovnika, tak jsme sli k nemu domu na party. Cely vikend byl takovy ospaly. Hodne prselo a k nasemu prekvapeni dokonce zacaly houkat sireny na upozorneni tornada. Oni meli male tornado severne od nas. Divali jsme se na radar v televizi a nase okoli bylo vpohode. Myslela jsem, ze se me rozskoci hlava, kvuli tomu pocasi, ktere se porad menilo. V nedeli jsme navstivili nasi spolupracovnici, ktera dala vypoved, aby se mohla starat o jeji malou holcicku, kterou porodila v lednu. Rodila v te same nemocnici jako budu rodit ja, tak jsme meli o cem vykladat. Take jsme nakupovali novy koberec do detskeho pokoje. Paul ukazal v nedeli odpoledne sve schopnosti manevrovat v kuchyni, kdyz griloval ten perfektni steak s brambory. Ja pouzivam moji novou zahradku s ruznym korenim, protoze to krasne prida na prichuti. Take si vychutnavam moje venkovni kyticky.
