Office baby shower and more...

Today I realized how lucky I am. I work with a bunch of ladies who braved the nasty weather to come to my first baby shower. The shower was hosted by Dawn and Valery. I was over whelmed by all of the gifts that I got. Just to name a some: diaper bag, newborn diapers, sleep sacks, booster seat, frog hooded towel, frog bath robe, and several onesies. George and I are amazed at how tiny all the clothing is and find it hard to believe that we are going to be responsible for something so small.

On the nursery front, George put together the crib and changing table today. This is a step in the right direction. Now we just have to clean out the rest of the room and I can start decorating. I am so ready to decorate it is not even funny. We will post pictures of the crib and such next weekend.

A couple of weeks ago, we attended our last birthing class. I feel like we learned some really useful information in all three of the classes. We learned some breathing techniques and positions for hard labor, relaxation techniques, and different positions to labor and push in. Now our only hope is that we actually remember some of these things when the time comes for Little Eldredge's arrival.

This week George and I will attend our last class in preparation for Little Eldredge. This class is called After Baby Comes. In it we will learn how to change a diaper, feed a baby, bathe a baby, etc. I think it will be useful because neither one of us have ever changed a diaper! We will keep you posted on how the class goes.

Other then these updates there really no other news. Our next check up with the OB is this Wednesday. We will let you know how that goes.
