Here it is....McKay Dee hospital. We spent 8 hours here today learning about what we'd be doing in less than 4 weeks if all goes according to plan. Its a very nice hospital but as we tour the 4th floor in labor & delivery department I began to remember how the smell of a hospital is incredibly nauseating. Jon was a good sport putting up with the childbirthing class that we had to do in one day because my schedule wouldn't allow me to do otherwise. At the beginning of the class I introduced us and then the "partner" was supposed to say three nice things about the mom. I was alittle curious as to what he would say. He said he loved me for putting up with his hobbies expensive at times, he said he loved me for being a hard worker and working through this last month, and he said he loved me cause even when we fight we ended up laughing together. I thought it was cute, some of the other husbands said some pretty weird crap about liking their wives because they were the emotional one of the relationship?? I didn't follow. Jon said I looked the smallest in my class which I've decided between trying to go to the gym and working everyday probably has done my body some good in the end. Anyway I learned A TON and asked ALL the questions. Jon said he already knew everything, and I'm still getting goosebumps from all three birthing videos that we had to watch. Two of which were natural and produced in the 70s yeah so gross. But all in all the RN that taught it was awesome and really patient. I feel good now about my decision to do an epidural bc I feel much more educated on the subject. I'm thinking I'm ready to go but we'll see what the doc. says on Monday. Jon and I went to Wingers for lunch, haven't eaten there for like years it was a fun day for me. This evening I finally got the cleaning fever and got my bumb out of the bed and started cleaning....like cleaning stuff that hasn't been touched for months. I even lit candles to make the house smell good. It was so rewarding and yet there is SOOOO much more to do. Maybe Monday.

You'll do great :) The hospital is HUGE! Good job on the exercising!
And Jon said sweet things :)
Oh, and I know how it just never ends. Cleaning. Never ends!!
I'm sure you are so ready to be done...the last couple of weeks were so uncomfortable for me...I was up as much as I am now with the baby. I hope that everything goes well, and hopefully your mom is coming to help for a little, it is such a blessing!
Yah, you better get all the dog hair cleaned up before she gets here! Ha,ha! Sorry hopefully thats not a touchy subject... I can't believe you're getting so close! This last month is going to be gone before you know it. Yay!
Sounds like you are nesting. It means that the baby is coming soon! I can't believe that you guys are going to be parents in less than a month. Can't wait to see the little baby!
I am SO GLAD that you did the birthing class that I insisted you take part in. I bet you learned something and it won't make birthing such a scary thing. Although the first time is a little CRAZY. But you'll be ok. Can't wait until my little girl can wrestle yours down. Bring it on!
Oh my goodness, thats so exciting, only a little while to go, you'll have to let me know how your doc appt goes. I'm not so excited for our child birthing class, hopefully ours goes as well as yours!
