Lamaze, crib, and baby's room

Last night was our first Lamaze class. It was great to have my husband there. We learned all sorts of terms that we will need to know for the rest of the classes and during labor. She also talked about our current pregnancy symptoms and how to relieve them along with what to expect for labor. There are only three couples in our class which is pretty small. The teacher split the couples up and had the guys come up with what they were going to do in the delivery room. They had some cute and funny ones like talk, be quiet, support her, and hold her hand. I am pretty sure they are not sure what to do in there, but they will be there anyway. I think the class will be good for Joe to feel more comfortable in the delivery room with me. I really hope he doesn’t pass out! Next week we are watching some birthing videos and touring the hospital. We have three more classes and I hope Joe’s job lets him attend them all. Mom is going to be my back-up support just in case.

After Lamaze, I went over to my parent’s house so Dad could show me how much progress he made on the crib. He started last week and has all the pieces cut out and put some of them together for me to see. He and my Grandpa are rounding off the corners tonight so baby doesn’t hurt herself on the edges. Dad is also going to make the dresser for her room too. I can’t wait to see the final products.

I also want to report that we finished painting the baby’s room. By “we”, I mean Joe and my parents. They did a great job. The room is pink to match the baby's bedding and I ordered some damask print stickers for the wall to complete the look. We are getting new carpet in the baby’s room, hallway and stairs on Friday so I will post pictures then. We can’t wait to have the baby’s room done. The shower gifts now reside in our family room and it will be nice to put them away.
