Child Birth Prep Classes Done! - 100 post!!!

Wow, 100 posts!!

I have been seriously slacking in the blog world, but I have been very busy in the real one!

We just finished our Child Birth Prep Classes. They have me really excited now!! Only 2 more months to go until we meet our precious baby girl. I am feeling more prepared now for the actual birth. It seems fitting that my 100 post falls into this category!

My life has changed so much in these last 100 posts. Thank you all for reading and supporting me. I can't tell you how much it has saved me at my darkest times.

Catching Up!

Hi Everyone! Yes I am still alive and Kicking!! Wait that's the baby's job!!

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. I was so busy this last month. We practically traveled every weekend (Home (California) for visits, Las Vegas for my sister's Bachelorette Party, and to Austin, Texas for business). Whew! It was a lot of fun but I am exhausted from it all! I have one more trip in 2 weeks to CA for my sister's Bridal Shower and then I am done traveling until the baby comes!

The funny part about flying to Texas was waddling around the airport getting stares from people. I can only imagine what they were thinking! (I hope she doesn't pop that thing out on my plane!) Rest assured people I was only 29 weeks at the time!

On Friday I will be 31 weeks pregnant. I can't believe it. It feels like the infertility journey that got me here is miles away. I still worry about my frozen embryos - will they make us another child one day? I try to focus on the blessing that is my huge belly! We are so lucky to be pregnant with one baby - part of me never thought it would happen, and here I am inching closer to meeting our daughter!

Last Night we had our first Child Birth Prep Class. It was great to visit the hospital and take a tour, it made it feel so real. Also the nurse leading the class was wonderful. I feel pretty prepared now, but there is still so much more to read up on and yet even more to do to our house to prepare for this little life coming our way!

So that is my new goal... after I come back from my sister's shower (which will be awesome!!) It is full on baby mode.

Here is a list of things I still need to do:

Buy supplies - nursing bras / tanks, bottles, breast milk storage, a pack n play, a bouncer, a nursing cover, formula, diaper genie refills (and I am sure I am missing a ton of stuff!

Decorate Nursery / Organize Nursery - I need to put everything away! It is still in boxes and all her clothes still have the tags on them!

Start her scrapbook (I know I don't need to do this but if I don't start it now then I think it might not get done before her 1st birthday! And plus I want to include our Infertility Journey in it!

Assemble the rocking chair, stroller, install car seat base (oh wait these are my Hubby's job!!)

Get a hospital bag ready.

Oh yeah and I need to pick out a Pediatrician.

Aghh! I think I can get a lot of this stuff done - wish me luck!
