Relief....

I am so happy that I switched OBs --- and I have not even seen the new one yet.
I called the office yesterday to make my new appointment and they already knew who I was and got me in next Tuesday!
They listened to what I had to say and then actually, finally, changed my due date (the other OB had the date wrong in the computer and although it was only wrong by 8 days, it still irked me to no end - all she would say to me was that due dates didn't really matter, and that the baby is going to come when he wants to come anyways - well the problem with that is that being a diabetic, they don't usually let you go a day past 39 weeks, and she had me going all the way to 41 weeks pregnant with the previous due date!) I have had all my tickers changed to somewhere in between what I think is the actual date (I think I am actually 29 weeks and 4 days instead of 28 weeks and 5 days) and what she had as my due date.... so we will see when I get there, what the new OB thinks.
All of my ultrasounds to this date have had Brody measuring much bigger than he actually is, so I feel like I am right on with the date I think it should be. I am curious to find out.
At our L&D class last night, another girl in the class told me she has the same doc, the new one, and she just LOVES him! Yay! Her and her S.O. and her mom raved about him. I feel so relieved to maybe finally be getting on the right track with everything.
I am very happy that my Perinatologist recommended that I switch!

Oh and on the topic of our L&D class yesterday. On the plus side, Corey did a great job as a labor coach, during all the exercises. He is going to be awesome in there with me. I cannot wait!
On the other side, we watched the live birth video today --- I was totally prepared for it and knew what I was going to see. BESIDES THE PLACENTA DELIVERY. OMG, that thing is HUGE! All the men just sat there with wide open mouths during the video, with these looks on their faces like I cannot believe my wifes hoo haa is going to do that!
But even after the movie Corey was a champ and when we got home that night, as we watched my belly move around as Brody kicked, he told me "I can't wait" :)

Our first Labor and Delivery Class

Was last night. "Labor and Delivery: Step by Step. Plus one free newborn class. So basically, we go for 4 nights to the L&D class and the 5th night is the Newborn class. By the time we are done with our classes, I will be 32 weeks along (with only 50-something days left)! Wow! It kind of surreal.
I have heard a lot of people say the first class is boring, but ours was really good. We already went through some breathing techniques, positions, and massage techniques(this was the best) as well as the stages of early labor up to delivery. Very good class.
Although the one thing that I was really hoping to get out of the class was to meet some people IRL who are having babies, maybe bond with them, and become friends, because really, not many or our IRL friends are in the same place as us (Natasha and I just talked about this last night). And we were really let down in that area. We did meet one couple that was really down to earth and super nice. The guy and Corey were laughing together all night while the girl (they have no names for now) and I cringed in embarrassment when they did. But the rest of the couples were just um, weird, to put it nicely. We had over 40 yr old 3rd time parents (in a first time parenting class) ,a still teenage girl with her boyfriend and mom parents... and two others, that I wont even get into. (Not that either of those is a bad thing, just not people we can see ourselves bonding with)

Anyways, all in all, it was a great class, great info, and I forgot to say this: At the end of our class we were packing up to go and we heard "Its a Boy!" and
a HUGE cheer coming from the family waiting area (Our classes are actually in the birthing center). How cool is that.

I can't wait until my family is the one in the waiting area cheering for us!!
