Ready as we'll ever be! (According to our instructor...)

Scott and I finished our prenatal classes this week at Hendricks Regional Health. We took the two week labor and delivery class and then a Saturday morning Caring for your newborn class. They were all pretty interesting; Scott says he learned a lot!

The L&D classes really weren't my cup of tea; I figure I have no control over the situation so why worry? For those that know my control freak nature this probably surprises you but I do recognize when it just isn't worth it to worry. :) The good news is not too much surprised me so I think at least I have a realistic expectation. I'm pretty sure it's uncomfortable so I will just go with that. We were the oldest ones in there by a good five years though. Scott thought (and I agree) that they were very informative. Oh - ask us about the forceps sometime. Turns out my Doc is the ONLY ONE in the hospital who still uses them on a regular basis. NICE. :)

Caring for your newborn was more interesting to me; they brought in a 2-day little guy for us to meet. He was a little thing weighing just 6lbs 11 oz. It's hard to believe we will have one of those soon! Now we weren't the oldest ones in that class; evidently us older folk are more scared of the baby that the labor and delivery!!

The nursery is coming along; we have put a lot of the wonderful gifts away and Scott even put together the stroller and car seat this weekend. I think we may be treking down to Greenwood on Sunday to pick up some things we are still missing from the registry...I have my BuyBuyBaby coupons and I am ready to shop! Our next doctor's appointment is Tuesday and we start going weekly from here til the end. We have an ultrasound too - I am very anxious to see how big he is! At 20 weeks he was 2 lbs. 9 oz. and estimated in the 88th percentile which was pretty big given my clotting disorder. I hope he is still growing strong but not TOO strong!

Scott should post soon don't you think? He tells stories much better than I do. I'll get some photos up over the weekend, right now I hear my bed calling my name....
