As of Now...

Dan and I have started our birthing classes. Our next one is Thursday evening. It seems like it will be a pretty informative and hands on class. The teacher is a bit crazy but definitley keeps your attention. Which is a good thing when you've been at work all day and then have to sit through at 2 1/2-3 hour class! I think we'll learn a lot of practical things for labor. My first thoughts were that I wanted to learn other techniques besides lamaze and thankfully this teacher is teaching us a bunch of different things not just lamaze. That's good. :)

On Thursday we also have our next appointment with our Midwife. As always we are excited to hear the heartbeat again! That is so amazing! The little guy's movements are becoming more and more noticeable. I can't wait until Dan can feel him.

The pregnancy is going well. I still need lots of sleep and sometimes it's hard to come by. I've been having a hard time sleeping. So last night I got the Snoogle pillow. Dan wants to give it a name because it is rather large and takes up a lot of room in our bed. I will say that I slept really well last night! I didn't even get up in the middle of the night. Just the way I like to sleep! I'm pretty excited about my new pillow. I was also having a tough time with my allergies. But for some random reason they have calmed down. I haven't been taking anything either. I'm very thankful. I was pretty miserable sneezing all the time! Now I have an occasional itchy throat. I can deal with that. I'm starting to sound less congested also, which is a plus. I was beginning to think that this could be a really long three months of allergies. I will continue to pray that things go well and give thanks to the Lord for my improved state. :)

Hey, Aim, let me know if you want to borrow my big "labor" ball! :) I'm not sure whether you have one or not, but our instructor swore by them, and honestly, it got me through a lot of the early labor. :)
