Child Birth Education Class Completed

That's one thing we can check of our list! We didn't really know what to expect going into this class but we came out very satisfied and thinking "this wasn't too bad" (even Tom thought that). We, or I, chose to do the one day, all day, class. It was from 9 to 5 or we could have done a 4 week class one day a week for a 3 hours. I thought this would be easier than committing to every Tuesday or Wednesday for 4 weeks. I'm really glad we chose this one and we are both glad it's over with. There were 5 other couples in the class and we were all around the same age and of course, due around the same time. Out of the 3 couples that knew what they were having, we were all having boys! I thought that was crazy. I think 2012 is the year for boys! The most exciting part of the day was getting the tour of the birthing suites and getting to see our nurse, Jenni, bathe a baby (boy) he was a day and a half old, his name was Jayden and he was so cute! We got to watch a few videos, nothing really gross or anything, but everything was very interesting. We got about an hour for lunch and Tom and I went to AJ's Cafe inside Hartig's, it was very good. I had a BLT and NO chips, I thought that might be OK on my "diet" but my blood sugar was high as it was this morning and I only had a few hashbrowns. Tom made ham and cheese omelets with hashbrowns. Anyway, the day was good and I just can't believe it's almost here.

After class, which got done at 3, we came home and took out steaks for dinner and I decided not to have any carbs tonight so we'll see how my sugars are tonight. Both test earlier were high but they were great the last 2 days. I just don't get it! When the nurse was talking about snacks and stuff in the room during delivery and what you can and can't have I was hoping I could have whatever I wanted but I don't think I'll be able to, she said they have sugar free stuff, yippee! Oh well I'm doing this all for little Coop so it's all worth it! I'm hoping to maybe get an extra ultrasound out of this but we'll see.

Tomorrow we are heading to Tom's parents for the Super Bowl, she's having a "Chinese" theme. Everyone is making some kind of Chinese food. We are making what we had for supper the other night, it was like sweet and sour chicken it was very good and low on carbs. I just have to watch the rice and anything else with carbohydrates.

The other day Tom and I took a nice walk around our neighborhood when it was in the upper 50's and I took a few pictures of the stream or it's actually Catfish Creek:





It was a beautiful week and the snow is almost melted but I'm sure we're in a for another snow storm in the near future!
