Many Thanks!!!

So, we've been slacking a little on new posts, but we've returned refreshed from vacation and have dedicated ourselves to keeping up the blog with plenty of new posts from now until Baby's birthday. We're not making any promises once Baby makes his/her grand appearance because we've been told by many a parent that our free time might be lacking :)

Anyways, we wanted to use this post to say thank you to all who have sent gifts or attended one of our first two baby showers. We've been overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends! We have received so much that our house is starting to feel very cozy! The help in providing the material needs our baby will require has lifted a great burden off of us.

Of course, thank you to the hosts of our showers, too! We love you all very much and appreciate the time and love you spent in preparing these grand shindigs for us. They've been great!

Finally, we know we have one more shower planned and we thank all of you in advance. We can't wait to spend some time with you all in 2 weeks!

Preparing for Childbirth Class

We attended our first Preparing for Childbirth class at the hospital last night. The first class was mainly an introduction to what we'll do in the next 5 weeks and we didn't learn too much new or exciting. We did get to watch a video of a birth and were promised there would be another one each week. Some random thoughts that popped into our head when we were told this - Do you really need to watch a video of a birth each week? Isn't one enough? How do they find the goofiest pregnant couples and get them to agree to be on these videos? On a more serious note, next week we get to bring the pillows and a blanket to the class and learn some massage techniques. Mommy is definitely looking forward to that.
