We finished our marathon baby classes tonight. We now know how to breastfeed, care for a newborn, and make it through labor and delivery. If it were only that easy, but the classes have most assuredly eased my mind a great deal. We practiced breathing through the different stages of labor, the old schoolers call it Lamaze. Our teacher had different "tools" for our partners to massage our backs with while practicing. My massage tool of choice is: the rolling pin! Genius! It feels great and I also think that John could roll out a perfect pie crust after practicing on my back.
Quincy will hold out just a few more days, then I think that I'll be ready for him:) I would actually be happy if it happened right now, but there are several things that I'd like to do beforehand. This weekend my friend Shannon that works for AR Children's Hospital and has taken classes on how to install a car seat correctly will help us install the car seat. I will finish up the decorating in the nursery and make a trip to pick up anything that we don't have. We also are going to pack our bags for the hospital. Tomorrow we have an antenatal appointment with a pediatrician because the hospital recommends that we choose the physician for Quincy before he arrives.
So as we are completing these final steps I'm getting really excited.
