happy thoughts





Well, I did it. I made it through our first childbirth class. Pregnancy is definitely helping me conquer my fear of needles, hospitals, blood and doctors. I was absolutely dreading going to our childbirth class, tried to avoid it, but my wonderful husband took me by the hand and forced me to go. I'm so glad he did, because instead of being scared to death it actually helped me understand how my body is made to do this. And as Jonathan keeps reminding me labor doesn't last forever and at the end of it we get the best gift of all - our sweet baby girl. Might I even say I'm a little excited now for when the time comes to go into labor, because in just twelve to twenty-four hours after I'll get to meet my daughter. : )

ice cream




So thankful tomorrow is Friday. Especially after this week. Tuesday we got to take what I now call the test run to the hospital. Had to be monitored due to having contractions. Miss Abigail and I are just fine though. No exit strategy yet for this baby at 30 weeks. We're going to take it very easy this weekend, some pampering is in order!

ahoy





Happy Monday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. We attended our first baby class yesterday. Overwhelming how much there is to learn. Jonathan got the gold star for swaddling. I'm totally torn now on disposable diapers and cloth diapers. Until yesterday I was adamant on disposable, but after hearing all the cons for cloth I'm reconsidering. Luckily, there's an entire store for cloth diapers in Plano, the Nappy Shoppe, so I'll be venturing over there.

The nursery is so close to being finished, I just love it. Jonathan won't let me post pictures until the big reveal at our couple's shower, so you'll have to wait til August 4th. Speaking of showers, my first shower is next week at work and I'm so excited. Such a wonderful time, but I'll admit I'm getting a little nervous - just two months to go - eek!
