We had our first birthing class last night. It's a two and a half hour class every Wednesday night for 5 weeks. My initial thought is what the heck are they going to talk about for that long each Wednesday night. However, it was actually quite interesting and I'm glad we signed up. I think it'll help us get over some of the apprehensiveness we're both feeling about the actual labor/delivery process. Another plus is they made Pat give me a back-rub for a while so he could practice!
The class has 14 different couples all due roughly around the same time we are so we got to meet lots of new people all going through the same experiences we are. Of course I've never been in a bathroom with so many pregnant ladies like I was last night during our break!
So, things are still going good for us and I promise I'll post a picture of me as soon as I can remember to make Pat take one.
We finally have the baby room ready to go! Mom and Kay came up this weekend and put a faux over the top of the baby blue coat we painted on a few weeks ago. The room now has clouds on all the walls and the ceiling. Then there is a break in the clouds in a few spots on the ceiling revealing a night time sky. Also on the one wall Kay painted Noah's ark matching the bedding we have in the crib. It turned out so cute...we love it!
Ok, you asked for it so here it is a picture of me. Pat had to rearrange my shirt just right so that you could all have the best angle on my belly.
We have a little over 10 weeks left and everyday the baby seems to move around more and with more power. It's definitely an experience beyond words. We can also actually see it moving now too. Pat and Jess couldn't believe it the first time they saw it wiggle across my belly...it is pretty cool.
This past weekend we actually broke down and painted a room for the baby. We painted it a light blue color and next weekend Mom and Kay are going to come up and marble it to look like clouds...now we just have to come up with a theme!
