Hi all,
Sorry its been so long since i posted, the past few weeks have been a total blurr!!
Here are some of the latest details for you:
Most recent baby doc visit, last Friday, 29 1/2 weeks. baby is doing great, strong heartbeat and growing at a good pace. We are now at week 30... 10 weeks and counting!! YEAH!
We have started and are almost done with our birthing classes, just one left. The classes are at the hospital so we are getting familiar with the location and the people, our instructor is one of the labor and delivery nurses which is kind of neat. The first class focused on breathing techniques and relaxation tools. It was a good class and the information seems to be helpful and aeasy to use... we'll see how much I remember when the active labor phase starts. Thats Jamie's job, to remember my breathing techniques ;)
The next class we had to watch aweful live birth videos, ughh! I am of a mind that I do not need to see what is going on down there thank you very much. I will have a chest to belly and knees view and not a bit more! It was all helpful, but TMI!
The most recent class was all about the types of available medications for the birth, and a tour of the Birthing wing. It is so beautiful in the delivery room, like a really nice hotel! Cherry wood built in cabinets, a full size couch that chages into a sleeper, in room baby care unit wth cherry wood drawers and a radient warmer a glider shower and bath. Really, really nice! We are looking forward to that part. Of course the post partem rooms are not as nice, but they still have temper pedic matresses, gliders, a full shower and vanity area. Not half bad :D
Next weeks class is all about caring for baby. Diapering, health, bathing, etc. I am most looking forward to that class. It should be a fun one! Will let you know how it goes!
Our other baby, Dodge has been to his first puppy training class last week also. He was very well behaved and we brought home a few techniques to try with him from week to week. He goes again tonight, then over to Auntie Angela's for his visit while we are in California for the holiday week. We will miss him so much, it is the first time he's been away from us since we brought him home!
I have been very busy at work planning the Holiday Party and getting everything ready for when I go on leave. The party is shaping up really nicely, and the customer gifts are chosen, the cards are here and awaiting shipping. Just a few things left to do upon my return next week.
Jamie has also been very busy at work. He had a branch meeting, a manager meeting and a presentation to do all last week. We have both been running around like crazy people!
We had our good friends over for dinner this last weekend for a pre- thanksgiving dinner. It was great! Great food, great friends and lots of laughs! I did a roast pork loin, and apple pie, and everyone brought sides, it worked out great! I of course forgot to take any pictures which I am totally bummed about, but we still had a great time!
We are off to California tomorrow to visit the family! Should be a great time! Will write again when I can. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Much love,
Alicia and Baby
