Just barely sliding by....no pun intended.

I wouldn't exactly call last night's birthing class a success, but we can say we made it through. The video night consisted of four "all natural" births with "all natural" graphics and "all natural" sounds.

We both started out strong when the computer animation demonstration was going on, but as the real people started popping out babies with all the breathing and the grunting we both started getting a little antsy. I noticed that Josh's legs were getting pretty wiggly and his face was slowly draining all color, it was then that I knew it was time for a mint and ice water...keep that in mind people...it works miracles. With the help of our little miracle workers, and Josh being such a manly man, he was able to pull it together and watch all four without any trips to the bathroom.  Well done Doodie, well done.

Its safe to say that we are both thankful to have that over with and after an uneasy evening, filled with anxiousness following the class, we were able to make it through sleeping last night nightmare free. But as Josh does tend to talk in his sleep if he has had a stressful day, it was completely justified when he sat up last night, asked to borrow a pencil and  then looked through the sheets for a pen that he wanted me to borrow.


For Josh I think that all of his "uneasy queasy" is behind him and he is just plain excited now...I mean, how could he not be when he gets a new pair of jeans which match the ones I found for his little buddy...

As for all of that anxiousness that was created in my heart during class last night .... gone the second Josh turned to me and said "Can I tell you something....our baby already has my heart."  Bring it on birth, bring it on.

I feel like we earned a night to take it down a notch, so we decided that Playing Rummikub while eating cupcakes was just the key. The cupcakes, by the way, made by my wonderful husband all by himself....He is just too sweet.
