Only THREE more weeks until Kayleigh's due date!
Like Justin said before, we attended childbirth classes this weekend. I was a little hesitant to go and didn't really think they would be worth it. Boy was I wrong! I am so glad we went! The classes really answered a lot of what-if questions I had and I think they really helped Justin to see what I'm going to go through. I think guys (before their wives have a baby) think labor is no big deal, but man those videos sure do show them otherwise. And it was cool meeting other couples...you probably really get to know one another if you take the 12-week course. We weren't the only procrastinators...two other couples due before us were there. Talk about waiting till the last minute!
The one big question I still have concerning labor is....when will I KNOW it's time? I know that I'm supposed to call my doctor when contractions are 3-5 minutes apart and lasting 45 seconds to a minute. Oh, and they are strong enough that I can't talk through them. But when will I know labor is starting? What does a contraction feel like? I wish there was a sure sign of labor beginning....did you know only 30% of women experience their water breaking before labor begins. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Everyone tells me I'll just know when it's time, so I guess I will.
I just can't wait to hold my Kayleigh! I can't wait to bring her home and start life with her. I can't wait to feed her, change her little diapers and dress her in all the cute little clothes she has. Most of all I can't wait to see what God will teach me through her. How will I change because I am Kayleigh's mom? What lessons will come from raising her? I really can't wait to see Justin as a daddy. There's something really cool about watching your husband being transformed into a father. I have a feeling I'm going to have to steal her from him so she can eat! Something tells me he's not going to want to let her out of his arms. I mean you should see him with the dog.....yeah he's a softy, but don't tell him I said so. (I'm probably in trouble now)
One more week of work! Yea! Have a great weekend everyone!
