34 Weeks Down - 6-ish left to go?

Well - we're really coming down the home stretch now... I hope.

We had our childbirth preparation class on Saturday and learned a lot. Apparently - unless my water breaks - I'll be at home through the first stage of labor. They want me to stay home until I can no longer walk/talk through a contraction. She said that's about 3-5 minutes between contractions for an hour. Eric & I were both a little surprised by this, as we thought you go as soon as you start having them. And, most women's water doesn't break... so that's another thing to consider. If it does - then we go after calling and checking with the doctor.

We learned a lot about pain relief for that first stage of labor - including changing positions & massage.

After our day full of learning - we ventured out to do some shopping. We were considering buying our stroller/car seat combo and pack & play. But, we didn't have any coupons for Babies 'R' Us - so we're holding off. So, if any of you get a good coupon - let us know. Plus, if the baby does come early the store isn't that far from the hospital. Eric can just run out and buy it.

But, we did end up buying a new camera which we really needed. It's just a newer version of our old one. Our old one was not taking very good outdoor pictures. So, now it'll be Eric's work camera to help him on the job.

Just a few more things to get before the baby arrives. I suppose I should buy a diaper genie and a nursing pillow. And, some socks, didn't get many of those for some reason. Otherwise, we have plenty of onesies and sleepers to get us through for a while!

Well, back to work - that'll be all for now!!
