Classes

We had our third class...or #2 & #3 (since it was canceled due to weather last week)...last night. I think part of the interest of the classes is meeting other pregnant couples. In the first class I was the closest one to full term. But last night we had a handful of new folks show up who are weeks ahead of me. I've been enjoying the classes. I went in, thinking the classes were more so for Trevor cause like any guy he hasn't read a single thing. But I too, am learning new things. One thing the class is lacking was clear instructions on breathing techniques. so far I feel I've been told the same thing I got told in pilates classes.I guess breathing techniques aren't really a big thing nowadays. I believe I'll focus on keeping myself comfortable and moving around until I take the epidural.

Last night was the tour of Crestwood (for you non HSV peeps, it's our private hospital). I didn't want to go on the tour b/c we're having the baby at HSV hospital and I was scared of seeing Crestwood and suddenly being upset with our decision to have the baby at HSV. But Trev wanted to see it anyway. Both of us were VERY underwhelmed with their facility. The rooms were TINY. The after delivery rooms didn't even have a couch for the husband to sleep on. I don't see how you could have 2 guests and the dad in the room. So, now we know. HSV definitely has the better accommodations and we're both happy with our decision.

We have one more child birth class and then one newborn care class and a bf class, so three more. And then I'll be 36 weeks...assuming they don't chnage my due date next week. I've been thinking about that and I'm seriously doubting they'll change it. They'll probably leave it the same but then tell me I'm likely to have him on such-and-such date. I don't know why I feel that way, but it's a hunch.

We met Bump's pediatrician, until (and if) Erik moves back and participates in the practice. Really liked him. It was reassuring, to me, to learn the practice was created by MY pediatrician many many years ago. I thought the waiting room was a little to be desired, for a toddler, but I guess that's a small concern. When I was a kid I remembered liking going to the dr. b/c the waiting room had so many cool toys I didn't have at home. This waiting room had nothing but chairs. no magazines, no tv's, nothing.

My wonderful Aunt came out this weekend and painted a mural in Bump's nursery. LOVE IT!. I find myself walking by the nursery and peeking in there to admire how cute it is. Trev's done the same thing. We have a  couple more items to hang up and then I think we're done. Then it'll be time to start washing soft goods and getting consumables in place. Mom and I are going shopping this weekend to get those sorts of things.

As mentioned before, last week was the beginning of me slowing down. Trev and I went out to Lowes and Staples, maybe 40 minutes and I was beat from the trip. I've warned my mom that I'll need to take breaks and be as efficient as possible. No dilly dallying :) Otherwise I'm great.
