AMA

I'll be 36 on Sunday, which means I'm AMA or Advanced Maternal Age. I love being referred to as an acronym. For 36, I think the pregnancy is going very well. According to every web site I read, the complications after 35 increase. Everything from birth defects, low blood pressure to chronic health problems. I love how they try to scare you with everything. Regardless of my age, I am happy and healthy. Actually, I feel great to be 36, my life couldn't be better.

Also, on Sunday I will be 32 weeks. This is just about the time that I've heard many women experience a shift in the placenta if they have previa. So, I go to get another sonogram on Tuesday and then back to see my OBGYN on Friday. I'm really hoping that the darn thing has moved.

Chris and I completed a 2 week child birthing class... I really hope we can put some of it to good use. They also covered the c-section procedure, so we are covered either way. Last week, Chris really didn't have any questions during the class, then this week he was Mr. Question. Not sure if it's that we covered c-sections today or if it's his nerves.

I thought I would share a picture from our engagement session that was done about this time last year. When I saw this picture, I really didn't like it because he was holding my belly and it almost made it look like I was expecting. It's funny what a year can do. I truly, madly, deeply love my husband and I really can't wait to see how he reacts to seeing his son for the first time.
