Whoa.... what have we done?!?!?

We finally attended baby class this past weekend. While it took about 8 hours of our weekend, it opened our eyes to a whole new world.... oh my.

The very wonderful and earthy teacher opened up the class with "introduce yourselves, and let me know what kind of questions you guys have so I can make sure we address it in class." My response was "hi, I'm Lina, and this is Tim. I have no questions, because until now, I haven't let myself even think about labor and delivery, let alone post-partum and bringing Monday home." So confession out of the way, we started listening and boy, I am in for it.

The videos were good (GROSS!!!!) but left one with the feeling of "really, seriously? the placenta? really? breach? c-section? really?" As Timmy and I talked afterwards, I am sure it will be different when we're talking about Monday. Labor really just is the bit we have to get through before we can meet our little man.

We're both so excited to be introduced:

• - who will he look like?
• - what will his personality be?
• - what will he really like to do? and not so much?
• - what will make him laugh?

Having passed this milestone, we're now full steam ahead on talking about names, cleaning up the nursery (this week) and otherwise just preparing him to come. He is fully baked in 3 weeks, due in 6. We're getting into the final countdown, and Tim and I are getting ready. Life is really good right now. We're really optimistic and happy - and just can't wait to bring him home.
