20-1-2009 - Update

My mood while writing this blog: Worried

---

Last night was the childbirth class with all the unpleasant details about what could go wrong. David wasn't able to make it, but my mother came in halfway through after she finished her grocery shopping. They covered Cesareans, shoulder dystocia, how the vacuum extractor works and a plethora of other potential problems. Eek. Next Monday is what the instructor referred to as the "fun" class, where we go over all the newborn subjects...
Today while waiting for the Doctor at my appointment I confided to my mother a certain jealousy of the high-risk pregnancy women who get to see their babies every couple of weeks. Now it appears I have jinxed myself. At 23 weeks I measured fine, but now I am 6 inches smaller than I ought to be and the Dr. has scheduled me for another ultrasound. He's aware that I haven't been able to completely give up smoking (just giving up the drugs and alcohol was hard enough, but I have cut back) but he seems to think it might be something more than that. So this coming Monday I get to see Devon yet again, and if I'm fortunate, David will be there with me. Then that evening we'll go to our childbirth class. I'm not a very religious individual, but I find myself praying that this really isn't anything serious...
