Class is OUT!

Hey all you faithful readers out there,

Sorry about not updating on Friday as promised... got kinda busy. So lets update, shall we? Where did I leave off... oh yes, classes are over. THANK GOD.

Not that they didn't offer a ton of good stuff, it was just that some of the people (who shall remain nameless) REALLY got on our nerves. The info in the class, however, was very practical and useful and we feel more prepared for it. We went through such topics as relaxation techniques, labor issues, child-proofing a house and vehicle, and much more. We had a great teacher and some very funny local doctors as guest speakers.

Other things that are going on... RA training is coming up on the 12th and so I am starting to really get into that. One thing that became somewhat interesting was that we just hired a new RD and so we went camping and cliff jumping this weekend as "RD bonding" (super fun by the way) but that meant that I was out of contact with Courtney with basically no way to reach me for about 24 hours. Even more crazy was the fact that Courtney started to really cramp up the night I was gone which can be one of the first signs that you are going into labor. But, all is well and I am home and no baby yet.

Also, Courtney might have to stop working so much at the bank. Her ankles and feet are swelling so badly that she started to lose circulation in her feet. As my mother would say "Oh, dats bad" (love you Mom). So we are going to the doctor on Tuesday to see what he thinks about the whole thing.

My parents got us a sweet breast pump that looks like it belongs on a dairy farm (my wife just made a funny comment... who'd have ever thought I would be calling a breast pump "sweet"?). Courtney's parents got us our super spiffy crib that will be oh so useful! With some of the gift cards that we got from Courtney's shower we picked up the pack-n-play which we just put up this evening... very nice.

Overall, we are getting super excited and can't wait for the little one to make her appearance! Stay tuned and keep your phones close by because Courtney was measuring "full term" at our last appointment and though the due date is not for another month, Ms. Madeleine could come at any!!!

Cheers!
