We had our hospital tour and our first birthing class this week. February is going to be B.U.S.Y. The hospital tour was wonderful. Being in the labor and delivery room actually got me EXCITED about laboring and delivering. I know I am easily sold as I almost always buy something from the shelf in line at the grocery store, but who know I'd be buying into wanting to labor and deliver. Some days I am terrified, but mostly I am excited to see what giving birth feels like to me. I can't wait to have this experience with Geoff and Jaden.
Our birthing class was okay. I didn't feel like I was learning anything new, but maybe that's a good thing, right? Between my Mindful Birthing book and yoga, I feel prepared with pain management and expectations of what may happen. Mostly, I understand that I cannot plan this or control this. My body and Jade will work together to do what needs to be done. Complications happen and sometimes events take place that are out of our control. Geoff and I plan to be as informed, but as open-minded as possible to allow our birth to unfold naturally, whatever that ends up meaning to us.
Weight: At my last doctor appointment I officially reached the 30lb. mark. I have gained thirty pounds.
Eat: There is just no room for food and the baby. Baby wins.
Sweat: Yoga and walking are my favorite things to do. Walking is becoming uncomfortable and sometimes I cut off my air supply by trying to touch my toes in yoga, but I think it's all going to pay off.
Sleep: I am so exhausted all the time. In fact, today I am even cranky. I can easily pass out at 7pm, but then my nights are restless and full of tossing, turning, peeing, burping, dreaming, baby kicking, and other fun night time activities.
one stroller...two stroller...three stroller...four? Okay so we have 3 strollers and only 1 baby.
