Becky's Blog: Birthing Class & Shopping Malls
2/14/08
Well it’s been other busy two weeks since I
blogged last. John and I attended our weekend birth class. It was a
Saturday/Sunday class with about 10 couples, all due in the next two or three
months. Really it was a lot of stuff that I already knew because I have done so
much reading and research, I don’t like to be surprised! But we did learn a lot
of good stuff about laboring and birth, and now we know exactly what to do when
the big day finally arrives. I feel so much better knowing all the information,
much more at ease. I think that John
was a real good sport about giving up his weekend for the class and he learned
some good information.
We went up to Chicago to be with John’s family for Thanksgiving. John has a big family and this was the first time some of the women had seen my big belly so it got a lot of attention! And then of course there was all the food! John made sure that I ate lots of turkey and ham. But boy did I get my fill. The next day we hit the stores (not too early) for some Christmas shopping. That was quite a challenge with the dystonia and all the walking involved. We just had to plan everything out and already know pretty much the shops that we wanted to hit, stay on one side of the mall, and then add in frequent stops to sit. John was really helpful making sure that I didn’t get too tired. All in all it went well and we actually got all our shopping done, along with some online and day-before shopping that had already been done. We thought it best to bet all the shopping done before I get any bigger, and while John had the time to help me out. Well just a month and a half left!
Until later, Becky & Ellie
