We went for our bi-weekly appointment last Thursday and met with Dr. Jensen, the OB who will be on-call during Christmas (in case Baby Boy Raymond decides to come early). Everything seems to be going great. The baby was head down but, according to the doctor, he can still turn around if he feels like it. So far, though, it seems like he is more interested in stretching out his legs and arms (right into Marisa's kidneys and bladder!) than in flipping his whole body. His heart rate was great! It was in the 130s until the doctor "shook his head" to see if he'd respond and, sure enough, his heart rate went up to the 170s as expected. This little boy doesn't like to have his head shaken!
We also got to go on a tour of the birthing center where BBR will be born. There is a TV with a DVD and VCR in the labor room and a jacuzzi tub. You'd think it was a hotel! There is also internet available in the postpartum room so we will be able to post pictures right away. Stay tuned.... only 7 more weeks to go!
