Baby Tomasov

Jenny and I have signed up for a number of baby classes.  The latest one we went to was “Child Birth Preperation”.  Normally this is one class a week for six weeks.  They also have a “one and done” version which is actually two days, one night for about 2 and 1/2 hours and then one day from 9am to 4pm.  We decided to take the “one and done” version, so Friday night and Saturday we were learning about what to expect from labor and how to care for the baby from day 1.  I mostly learned that I have to stand there and hold the video camera with one hand and Jenny’s hand with the other and give her some encouragement and I’m good!  haha Just kidding Jenny!  We actaually both learned a lot from the class(es).

The class before that one was “Baby Boot Camp”.  That’s where we learned some basics of taking care of the baby after we get him home from the hospital.  I.E. how to swaddle and change diapers and give him a bath.  I even have a picture to prove we were there!  Note Jenny standing there talking to our teacher, completely oblivious to me taking it.

We’re starting to receive a lot of baby gifts already! As they are starting to come in more frequently now I don’t think I will be posting everything everyone sends. First-come first-serve I guess! We would like to thank everyone for all of their love and support.  We’re planning on continuing this site for quite a while after Baby Evan is born so everyone can stay informed!  If there are any requests for posts or special comments anyone would like to send us you can send them to matthewjt@gmail.com or jltomasov@gmail.com or both!

We had our latest baby doctor appointment on 6/15.  This was the visit where they did blood work for Jenny.  In particular to check for gestational diabetes. As they keep telling us, no news is good news and we haven’t heard anything back from them yet, so we’re assuming all is well. Starting with a few visits ago they started measuring Jenny’s belly to see how well the baby is growing. I guess their measurement is supposed to match up to the number of weeks she currently is, so she’ll be 26” around week 26. We were spot on for our 29/30 weeks. The doctor also commented on how perfect Jenny’s blood pressure was and how strong Baby Evan’s heartbeat is. Our visits are now starting to be about every two weeks, so we’re going back 6/30.

Sorry we’re a bit late on these videos. I completely forgot we had them! Here are heartbeats from 05/27 and 06/15. The 05/27 appointment is a bit hard to hear because he was squirming all over the place! If you cant see the embedded video, just click the download link.  Yes, these were taken via my iPhone so the quality isn’t that great.  Enjoy!
