Classes

Last night we attended out breastfeeding class. I don't know if I've ever felt so overwhelmed by anything before. There are so many details, so much to learn and read and know. B wanted to go with me and I'm glad he did (even though he accounted for half of the guys there). I am pretty sure that it's not going to be possible to remember everything, in fact I'm beyond sure of that. I guess it'll have to be one of those things that I learn as I go.

On the other hand, we had our first prenatal class (there are 4 in the series) last Wednesday and that was awesome. With the exception of watching THE video! I was perfectly happy just knowing what was going to happen, I did not need to see it too. Now I'll probably be replaying that video in my head during my own labor. Other than that the class was great, with the exception of B telling me that since I'll probably be in labor such a long time that he would bring the PlayStation to hook up to the television. I promptly told him that he must have a death wish. I'm sure he was only joking anyway. Tomorrow we get to learn and practice 2 types of massage techniques to aid in relaxation during labor...I'm looking forward to that!!

Half Way There!!

Well we're now 20 weeks and technically halfway done! It's an exciting time for us right now. In a few days we'll be having an ultrasound and hopefully (based on baby's cooperation) finding out what we're having. U's finally starting to show so that it's noticeable to other people which she really, really enjoys and she's also almost finished with school and that has her extremely happy as well! Not much else has happened this past week except we picked up C & Å (B's sister and brother-in-law) from the airport on Friday night. They flew in from Norway so we were able to spend Friday night and all day Saturday with them and the rest of the family which was tons of fun and lots of laughs. We took a short trip to the park and B decided it was time to take a picture of U's belly, the picture will be posted below. This week we get to sign up for all of our birthing classes which is kind of exciting to do even though we won't start them for another 2 months at least because you're supposed to start them at 28 weeks. All in all we're doing really well and are really excited about all that is to come, life has treated us kindly and for that we're extremely grateful. Take a look at the pictures below!
