week 37

So Sunday started week 37.

We had a dr. appt today......fundal height: 36cm, current weight gain: 36 pounds, baby's heart rate: 170's (he was really excited, or really pissed off), and the bestest news....my cervix is 50% thinned out. So 50% more to go, then 10 cm and BABY! I'm walking Crash like a demon for the next 2 weeks. My next dr. appt is April 15th and I want to walk in there and her be like, "HOLY CRAP, you're gonna have a baby, you're at 8cm!"

Sooo.....went to that breast feeding class. if you're reading this and you're pregnant and going to tripler DO NOT GO TO YOUR BREASTFEEDING CLASS!! It was awful. They showed all these movies from the 80's where woman were like "look at my breasts it doesn't bother me"....ok times have changed. And they went hard-core into how "skin to skin" is so important and essential to a baby's life. Ok, I'm not going to lay around naked with my baby, that's just weird. I think its cute when daddy's lay with their baby's on their chests, but no I'm not going to sit there boobies flying all over the place so I can have skin-to-skin with the baby. I told Kim he's in charge of skin-to-skin. What was worse, was how they made me feel. I'm not going to lie, I was totally disgusted watching these videos. And the lady doing the class was like, "Don't be disgusted, this is perfectly natural. If you're disgusted by any of this, there must be something wrong because this is how its suppose to be." Ok biyotch, are you telling me I'm a bad mom because I'm not going to lay around naked with my baby??? It was disgusting and awful and totally turned me off of breastfeeding. I'm going to do it because I know how important it is for baby and how much more it benefits baby. The lady also told me the best time to introduce the bottle to baby is at 4-6 weeks. So After that like 6th week of life, I'm going to start pumping and breastfeeding, but much more pumping will be done than actually attaching baby.
Ok, so now that i've got that off my chest, I'm excited for our labor and delivery tour tomorrow. Kim and I are gonna do the preadmissions and all that jazz, which will hopefully make arriving in labor much easier.
So that's the update. Am I a bad mom for being disgusted by boobies, boobies everywhere? Maybe, but I know that my husband will step up to the plate and do the skin-to-skin that is necessary for a happy secure baby, and I will step up to the plate and be the cow.
