We Got Class!
The Husband and I attended our first Bradley Birthing Class last night. I liked the instructor. We were nearly 1/2 hour late because I had the time wrong in my head. I apologized profusely. I've only been emailing this woman and anxiously awaiting this class for about three months. I'm such a loser.
Anyway, class went well. There was no video - that's next week. We talked a lot about what we wanted in a coach and nutrition goals. The way that the dates of the classes fell, I had to take it now even though it's a bit early. I wasn't the least pregnant there thankfully. There were all sorts of couples there but we probably all had a lot in common. All but one couple were white and I assume that we were all heterosexual. Most were married. I would also guess that most of us are transplants to New Orleans. I sincerely thanked The Husband for being a good sport and he got his free cookies as promised.
We missed the first 45 minutes of Deadwood last night. Uh oh.
Over the weekend we spent a ridiculous amount of money on a refrigerator, oven and new bed. It needed to be done (at least the appliance part). We got a great deal on a floor model refrigerator and the bed was on sale. The Husband didn't quite understand my want of a new bed but I eventually won him over. We will be swapping the computer room and bedroom. The baby's stuff will be in the blue computer room. The other option would be to move the baby into the shed which I'm not completely opposed to.
I had an epiphany on Saturday. Now that I will have an official room to decorate for the baby, I have to come up with a theme 'cause that's what expecting mothers do. I'm not a fan of pastels and I'm certainly not painting again. Given my growing collection of Alice in Wonderland STUFF - it only seems fitting to build a room around that. I need to paint the dresser which will double as a changing table and move my figurines into a more prominent location. I'd love to find someone who can paint a mural.
It's coming together.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Within the two weeks since my last dry-heaving episode, my stomach (or stomach muscles) has moved. This morning while bent over the kitchen sink, rushing to blend my smoothie, I was clutching where my stomach USED to be. It was a very strange sensation.

Glad to know that the first class went well! And even if you are early, it's good to be prepared!
A mural would be so pretty in your nursery! Maybe you could find an art student who could paint it for a small fee?
So glad you are part of the PW Blog community! :)
