Pieces are all coming together now

I am so excited about giving birth! I had my first Bradley class yesterday, and that went really well. I feel like these classes will truly prepare me to give birth. We actually got lots of homework to do before our next class on Sunday. I also had a doctor appointment today, and my doula attended it. I asked my doctor some questions about when she would show up during labor, when I would need to push, etc. I liked her answers and feel like she is very supportive of me and my desire to have a natural birth. I feel like all the pieces are coming together and that I might actually accomplish the kind of birth that I want!

Also, only 3 more days (2 work days) until Thanksgiving, so that really has me excited as well! All the yummy food and plenty of relaxation time... Can't wait.... hmmmm..... :)

Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!

Finished the baby's quilt!

Now I just need to find a darn crib... ;)

Let's hear it for the boy!

I heard "Let's Hear it for the Boy" by Deniece Williams on the radio while driving to work on Friday. That really perked up my day. It is such a happy song. It reminds me of my husband, especially the lyric "And maybe he sings off-key, but that's alright with me." LOL It also makes me think about my son. When he finally makes his entrance to the world, I will be so happy and excited to hear his voice (crying). I'll be thinking, "Let's hear it for the boy!" Thus, this song might be a good soundtrack to play in the background when I am in labor. I'll have to remember to download it.

Nothing all that new this week. I am starting to feel like a real pregnant lady because I feel soooo sore in my hips whenever I get up from lying down. Also, when the baby moves, my belly seriously looks like there is an alien in there. LOL Before, I just saw twinges, but now I see full-on pokes. He must be getting big because my belly button is officially an outie now!

I am excited about my most recent purchase. I just ordered 4 wall decals for the baby's room and the infant car seat I have been eyeing for awhile (it's supposed to be super safe).

This is the Chicco Keyfit 30

And this is one of the wall decals I bought. The baby's room will have a Dr. Suess theme because my brother and I loved reading his books as kids.

I signed up for 12 weeks of Bradley classes. I am going for a natural, unmedicated childbirth experience. I want my husband to be very involved and my main source of support, so that is why I went with the Bradley method. I start in about 2 weeks. I am so excited!
