Spoiled

Tuesday after a long day at work we went to our first "Child birth prep class" The teacher was horribly boring and it lasted 2 1/2 hours. I don't know if we are going to make it through 3 more of her classes. Thankfully some of the people in the class kept it light hearted including Jacob. They did have us watch a childbirth video and I really didn't need to see all that, neither did Jacob. After the video the teacher said that a lot of Dads think that when the baby is crowning they don't have a top of their head. Their little head squishes up to get through and apparently they mistake that look for brains. As soon as she said that Jacob chimed in with "that's what I thought it looked like!" It was quite funny. Then they had us doing stretches which you did need a class to teach you how to do. While all us ladies are on all fours Jacob couldn't help but to say "I think this is what got us in the situation" followed by "and its all we have seen and will see for the next month" Everyone started cracking up of course, and I thought the poor teacher was going to die. All of the other guys chimed in with "that's exactly what we were thinking!" So those were the highlights of the class. It was over at 9:30 and we came out to a monster monsoon. Jacob ran to get the car and in just the short distance I had to go once he pulled up I was soaked.


I have been soooo spoiled by getting to work from home! This week I have been up in Scottsdale working and it is just taking ALL that I have. I have started having some contractions, although they are sporadic. I called my boss today and told him that I was just going to have to work from home today. At this point if I don't get a full day in, I don't care. I was in such pain last night and so swollen that it just isn't worth it. I feel bad for ladies that have to continue working in their last month of pregnancy. It is so hard. I am not sleeping at night, I am sore, swollen and miserable, unless I am at home :) Not that all of that goes away, but it is somehow easier to tolerate, plus I can lay down if I need to. I know I mentioned before that my brain just isn't working right, but I am making some major mistakes at work and it is embarrassing not to mention not good! I just feel so stupid. Even after double checking my work I am messing up. I listed a property at 1.3M yesterday that was supposed to be 13.5M. If hadn't been caught so early I would have been in some DEEP trouble. I asked him to double check everything I was doing, I knew what the price was, I just missed a 0, a very important 0! I told him it probably wasn't a good idea to give me anything important to do.

We got Nadia's new letters, of course I can't remember if I said that already LOL Here is a picture of them. I think they are just adorable.

And here is a video from my birthing board. I can't believe how much you can see the baby move. It's crazy!
