We went to our first prenatal class last night. We go every Monday night for the next 4 weeks. Last night we learned some terminology we'll need to know before I deliver and while we're in the hospital. We also covered warning signs to look for during these last few weeks as well as the signs of true and false labor. Then we talked about the 3 Stages of Labor. Not the part I look forward to. The class lasted for 2 1/2 hours. By the time we got out I was feeling pretty good about what had been talked about and had a lot of my questions answered and apprehensions relieved. Austin felt the opposite. He became more nervous and apprehensive about the delivery and being in the delivery room. He has no desire to be anywhere but up by my head during the birth. I don't blame him. I really don't want to see anything either. I'm sure he'll be just fine though.
I'm now 30 weeks. 10 weeks left! So much to do between now and then, but I'm looking forward to not having a basketball on my front constantly. I can't believe I'm almost done! I know it'll be here before I know it! I'm excited and scared all at the same time. So much unknown ahead.

I swear other people have way shorter pregnancies that I ever did. You look so cute. I can't believe prenatal classes are already here. Be patient with Austin. Scott was like that at first too. It'll get easier. Good to see your growing baby! :)
Josh felt the same way too until the whole process was actually happening. He even cut the cord. :) You do make a cute preggo lady.
You have such a cute belly. I was going to get another picture of my belly to post, but I didn't do it in time. oops. :o) Tell Austin not to worry. Justin was sure the delivery was going to be too much for him, but his curiosity and excitement ended up overriding the anxiety. He watched as little Clayton's head first showed, and then as he came out. He said he got a little funny feeling, but thought it was really cool. My advice is be prepared for her little arrival at anytime. She might surprise you. :o) I am so excited for you guys. It is such a cool experience and you are going to be the best, cutest parents! We love you guys and miss you! Thank goodness for blogs!
So stinkin' excited for you guys. oh man.
The other night we watch the NOVA film "miracle of life".At the end they show a birth. I've never seen what happens, so it was pretty amazing. I kept asking patrick, "Is that what its like???" It really is a miracle!
Don't let Austin down there! I remember him trying to catch the football. He has stone hands. He'd drop the pass for sure. (Just kidding Aust. I'm just trying to give you an excuse to stay up by the headboard where its nice and safe.)
