This weekend we finished our pre-natal classes at the hospital, and feel much more prepared for what's to come than we did before. The morning this weekend focused on C-sections and the possible situations that could require intervention during the birth. That part was a bit scary but it's good that we know about even the rare situations. Until now I haven't been concerned about labour, and now that the time is closer I can' t help but rethink the whole 'pushing the baby out of me' part... but it's too late now! This weekend we also did practice feeding, swaddling, bathing and diapering, and 90% of us had Cabbage Patch Kids as our models. Lots of great information to absorb, also making it a very tiring day!
We also worked on getting the baby's room more ready, and I sorted through all the clothes (from other people) and books (some from my childhood) we have so far. I held up some of the newborn onesies -- they are so small, I can't believe she will fit inside them... and that we have to get them on her!!
This morning I got my first hard knee or elbow jab up near my rib cage. It was so strange, and although I had the duvet over me I'm sure my belly stuck way out -- we could feel how hard it was in that spot!
I'll post some belly pics soon (our last pictures are from Xmas), and some room pictures when we have it ready.
