Class number 3

Well, we had our third of four childbirth prep classes on Tuesday and this time we talked about the medical "augmentations & interventions" like manually breaking he water, getting pain meds, etc. We also talked about if one might need a C-Section. Did you know 1 in 3 women will end up having a C-Section?! I didn't either and frankly, I didn't want to know. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Not that I'm not prepared should the need arise but I hate statistics! I'd rather be ignorant of that fact. So back I went to read my hypnobirthing book and get the more soothing possibility of birth and to try to shove te idea of C-Section out!

One more class to go!

What a Blast!

Well, S-Day came and went with what I think was an enormous success! Friends, family, food and fun. The ultimate party concoction! Sara and mom threw me a beautiful party with all the love in their hearts and it went off with only one hitch... the music game! We were so looking forward to this game. It was supposed to be like name that tune except that all the songs were songs with the wordy "Baby" in the title. Sister had spent a whole day cutting the songs to 3 second parts and when the time came, the darn CD player wouldn't play it. What a bummer! But other than that, baby Pictionary was fun with some interesting interpretations of the cards. :)

Of course we got A LOT of things for the baby and I feel so very blessed. Sister also made me a poster board of the progress my baby bump has made over the last few months. Everyone decorated a onesie for the baby with fabric paint and of course, the food was awesome. Although, I wish I had gotten more chicken salad and one of the chocolate nests we made for everyone! Not much more to be said except Thank you Lord for all of the wonderful people I have in my life but most especially to my sister and mom, how special you make me feel!

Enjoy the pictures

Treat making

Last night, mom, sis and me made some yummy treats that will be included as treats on S-Day.

I've really enjoyed doing all these crafty things with my mom and sister as I get to spend more time with them. I think we should make it a regular occurrence, even after the baby. Everyone gets busy, but making time for bonding will be a good value for... The baby (I almost typed her name).

More fun to come! Two more days until S-day!
