Quick Post

This is just a quick post to tell you we survived the birthing class. I think it scared me more than Jonathan... I always want to remember the instructor (around 70) sitting on the floor pretending to be in labor and pushing. Of coarse Jonathan and I were the only ones laughing out loud so it was a little embarrassing. I am really happy Jonathan went (especially with a good attitude) but wish he had not learned some of the things he did. Oh well the good things he learned outweigh the gross ones- maybe...

Other than that Sunday I actually talked to one of my pregnant neighbors (she is due a week earlier than us). And it turns out on our street there are 5 pregnant woman- and 4 of the 5 are having boys! I am so happy for Liam (and me) to have playmates. Also, it sounds like some of those ladies are stay at homes so at least when i am part time i will be able to have some playdates.

Week 30

Life is still going wonderful! Currently 30 weeks so Liam is over 3 pounds and entering a rapid growth period (he almost triples in size over the next 10 weeks). I had my first back cramping pain- so of coarse i worried. Being a first timer I went to the doctor though and learned pain is normal in pregnancy (fortunately it went away though). We also toured the hospital and meet the doctors and all that went great. The hospital is super nice. Honestly the bathrooms are nicer than any hotel i have been to. I am getting really large- but what else is expected. Plus in the last couple of days Liam's movement is so much stronger- i think he is trying to make more room for himself as he pushes and pushes in the same spot!

Wow i just realized i have not posted since my first shower- here are some pics. But it was wonderful! It was all the friends and we received some amazing stuff! It was great to see everyone and it really made Liam feel official to me! Plus we played win lose or draw which was quite funny- since the topics were about me (examples: electric fence and boob job).

Jonathan and I also did our 'babymoon' and went to the lake for a couple days of relaxing. It was fabulous! Nothing too fancy just some nice dinners and casual time hanging out. Then for the weekend friends came to the lake- it was great. Also, we learned that Dakota will be a great dog for Liam- Noah (Joe and Jennifer's son) came up to the lake and Noah was standing on Dakota's face and Dakota never even flinched. Seriously if i were Dakota i would have at least moved- but all he did was lay there and take it. Of coarse from them i learned some more things i need to do (another book- this one on vaccines) so we are truly getting ready. It was nice though to see a kid up at the lake and get to picture our lives next summer with Liam on the water. And going by the fact that he falls asleep in my tummy every time the boat starts up i don't think we should have any problems!
