This afternoon I met with a baby nurse. Although I've been looking for a while, she is the first one that is available when we'd need her. Most nurses were either already booked (and I started 3-4 months in advance!) or will be out of town. She was nice and gave me some great tips for my recovery and for caring for the baby but I'm a bit nervous because she's only been a baby nurse for a year. Before that, she was a nanny. There is one other woman who is a possibility and then I need to make a decision.
Tonight we had our first Lamaze class. The classes are a total of 15 hours with each session being 3 hours long. There were seven couples in the class and one more will join for our next class. Even though I was the furthest along, I was not the biggest in the class. In fact, I was one of the smallest. I know it's kind of silly, but it made me feel good. I always feel so big. The one other girl at work who is pregnant is about two months behind me and so tiny that I feel huge! And since everyone else I work with is not pregnant, she's my only regular comparison.
This weekend will be more baby fun. Tomorrow I am going shopping to purchase all of the things I'll need for my labor bag. On Sunday we have our second Lamaze class and are then meeting with the doula to go over the birth plan.
So much to do, so little time!
