We just finished up with our baby classes at Hoag last weekend. I think they were pretty informative and convinced me that I will definitely be getting an epidural if everything goes well.
Last Saturday was also had our family and friends BaByQ shower! We had a blast getting to hang out with everyone and feel so grateful for all the love that was "showered" on Noober. :-) Thanks to my sister, my mom, and Ray's mom for all the hard work they put into making it so special!
We've pretty much got the nursery all ready to go and it looks amazing! My dad said is looks like something on the HG channel. I'm really happy with how it turned out and can't wait to show it off. Once we get everything else organized and moved back into place, we'll FINALLY be able to take some pics of our house (now that we've lived here for almost a year - it's hard to believe!).
Summer definitely feels like it's arriving - Ray's summer swim team (the Sharks) started last Monday. I'm sad to not be able to coach with him this year though. Open House is now over and we're really into the home stretch of the school-year with only 18 days of school left! We're definitely looking forward to a very different and memorable summer. And we can't wait for Rachel, Dan, and the girls to come visit!
I'll leave you with some pictures of the shower and the nursery. Oh, and I can't forget to say Go Wings and hooray for Kris Allen! Cheers!
I can't quite seem how to insert pictures in a logical way - they seem to end up all over the place. :-( Any suggestions??
ReplyDeleteWow the nursery looks fantastic! Trust me the next 36 days will fly by! It's great that you took the birthing classes. Epidurals are nice (had one with Carter) but it's good to have a back up plan. I assumed I'd have an epidural again so I didn't read up on natural childbirth pain management techniques etc. I got induced which makes you have even more powerful contractions but they couldn't place the epidural so I had natural childbirth. So what I'm trying to say is have an alternative plan so that you won't feel panicky like I did if the epidural thing doesn't work out. You'll do great and I'm so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is you gotta press enter a few times between each picture to space them out. But, I am just guessing. I don't know how this blog works for entering pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhen I download pictures, I center them and pick the medium size. That usually puts the pics in column. Cath, you are looking great! Epidurals seem to help me progress faster, so I would recommend it. We are excited to come to CA in July. The nursery is really cute!
