Childbirthing Class #1

So, Monday night we started our childbirthing classes at Baptist East. There are 7 other couples in the class - 6 of them are due in April and the 7th is having twins and due in May, but our teacher says April for them too. All of us are firsttimers...so it will be very fun for all.

I have to admit I didn't realize how big 10cm dilated really is :-) It is huge! We also watched "Debra's Story" and anyone who has taken classes is familiar with Deb and her natural birth. I am very proud of the women who have given birth without the heavenly epidural, but I won't be one of em. I kept thinking to myself...just get that baby out!!AHHHH!!! Overall, it was very cool to watch. I can't wait for us to experience the wonders of the human body and our great God.

We got back to the doctor next week for our 32 week appointment. It is baffling to me that I will be starting my 8th month in a few days. We will get to meet our daughter in 2 months, and cannot wait.

I may have my furniture by this weekend, if not hopefully next week...and that means we will be done with the nursery. So needless to say I have been washing, onesies, sheets, blankets, burp cloths, etc...and I still have quite a few loads to do. But I am loving every minute...Tootles for now!!
