I'm 30 weeks today and it feels like it's getting close- especially when I remember full term is really 37 weeks so I have somewhere between 7 and 11 weeks to go! When people keep saying 25% more to go it feels like so much longer though. Amazing how numbers can mess with your mind!
Today we have our breastfeeding class and tomorrow we have our newborn care class. Hopefully we will bring home some knowledge and it won't be a waste of time. I think Dave will get a lot out of both classes- he has NO experience with babies and hasn't read anything about breastfeeding like I have.
Breastfeeding Class Update: Nothing was really groundbreaking but I'm glad we went (although sitting for 3 hours was brutal). It made me remember this is all possible and we will figure out a way to make it work. I also received some valuable resources and information about the Lactation Clinic at the hospital that I will be using. It was worth it.
Newborn Care Class: Same thing... nothing ground breaking but I'm glad that I had the venue to ask a million questions. I really liked the lady who taught the class and makes me feel more confident about being a mom. Dave learned a lot about babies and is really excited now. He also really loved the cloth diapers we got to check out- he was already on board but now he's completely in.
Our babymoon to SoCal is next weekend and I was just booking the car, dinner reservations, Dave's surfing lesson (he's always wanted to do this) and my spa treatment (still deciding between prenatal massage or facial). I am getting very excited. We decided we're going to go all out for this trip to truly enjoy our last big babysitter-less getaway. We have an ocean view room with a balcony and I plan to just relax and enjoy the time with my husband! Hopefully we'll be able to get some sunshine and walk a lot too but it depends on how I feel. Regardless, it's going to be warmer there than here in Oregon and hopefully sunnier!
