Birth and Beyond Class

We just finished our 8 week long session of birthing classes, every Sunday night, 6 to 8:30.  I am very excited to have my Sunday evenings back!

So have to share a few of my favorite moments...

Nick's face when we saw the live birth, needless to say, he will be at the head of the bed with me and there will be no mirror!

There is always that awkward person/people in class...no we weren't them...but we got paired up with them...  We were learning how to give the baby a bath and they asked, "Can we bring our baby in the shower with us?  We already let our dog/cat come in the shower with us?"  Yes, I know there is an economic crisis out there and this is saving money on the water bill, but seriously, I think family showers should probably end when the baby comes along.  Just saying...

Breast Feeding, I agree, that it is great for your baby, but it does not mean you should breast feed your child for 3 years?  Our instructor shared her own personal experience of breast feeding each child for 3 years...  She has 4 children!  I am sorry, I going to opt out on that time frame!  When my child can walk/talk and ask for milk, I think that milk will be coming from a farm animal!

Getting Bigger...Getting Ready...Just need the Baby!

Home Stretch!  6 more weeks and Baby Ward will make their entrance!  I am officially waddling around the office/home and nesting away.  I think every room of our apartment has some sort of baby item and has been organized and reorganized.  I can't believe in 6 weeks I will finally know and hold our little boy or girl!

Here is a pic of the crib Nick assembled on Monday night.  Once we know if it is a boy/girl we (I) can finally decorate!!

And here is the latest/greatest pic of my baby bump...
