Surprise! I have my blog done on time!
We started birthing classes on Thursday. They run every week for the month of May. We learned about all the stages of labor as well as some breathing techniques. In fact, she turned off the lights and played soft music while we practiced. Tim and I got the giggles so bad I thought she would throw us out any minute! We couldn't stop laughing! It just felt so silly sitting there and both of us practicing our breathing. I learned that drinking raspberry tea can help lessen your contractions...whatever that means. I also learned that the hospital has birthing tubs and the husband can get in with you as long as he has a bathing suit. There's only 4 birthing balls so she recommended we bring our own. We got a bunch of handouts that showed laboring positions as well as a list of our "rights" and what to bring to the hospital.
For my birthday, Tim got me the blue crab I've been wanting from Crabby Chic. I've had my eye on it for a couple of years but just never budgeted money for it. I'm super excited to see it hang over Porter's book shelf. I have to keep it up high so she doesn't get a hold of it and break a leg off!
I have a doctors appointment and my first "school baby shower" this week. How exciting!
