Baby Lamotta is due September 28th, 2017! Today is 8/11/17 which means I’m 33 weeks, 1 day pregnant! Baby is the size of a junior tennis racquet. I’ve gained… probably about 20 pounds by now.

We find out at our gender reveal party in exactly 3 weeks! Doctor’s appointment this week? Yep! It was with a different midwife, who was not quite as colorful (let’s stick to the crayon theme) as the last, but still very nice. She let Jude help with the doppler and then let him listen to his own heartbeat too. Baby’s heartbeat…

It’s dark, smelling oddly of smoke, and seriously in need of an updated design. This is what I’m thinking as I sit in the waiting room at Wake Med Maternal Fetal Medicine at the Raleigh campus. I should be thinking the worst. And I was – just a few minutes before. But I really, really can’t think about it right now. I need to focus on something else, anything else. You see, I’m here because my midwife, just hours earlier, couldn’t hear my baby’s heartbeat. Jordan and I arrive at Baby & Company, the…
