breast feeding, pedi pads and tucks...oh my!

so, tonight we stepped into our first parenting adventure...child birth classes!  we are attending our classes in a slightly different order than most, so we didn't walk in at the beginning.  instead, we walked into a discussion about post-natal care and caring for baby in the first weeks.  while others attending had several weeks to get comfortable with the discussions, it was slightly jarring for us.  and let's just say that the title of this post only scratched the surface!  we obviously want to do anything we can to be prepared for the baby, but discussing hemorrhoids with perfect strangers does more than make you squirm in your chair (no pun intended)!

i am now at the beginning of my 29th week.  my belly has begun to significantly change and jeff now calls it "another extremity" like i grew a third arm!  while i slept great through my second trimester, the third trimester has kicked into full swing and once again, sleep is just a distant memory! 

i am incredibly fortunate to have amazing new friends that are throwing me a baby shower.  it is this saturday and i am fully excited!  i'm sure we are going to get way too much stuff and be slightly overwhelmed, but only in a good way!  we have already been so blessed and this is just is the beginning!
