better late than never...

i admit it - i've been slacking on my blogging duties. time seems to be just flying by us lately, but here's a quick update of the last few weeks..

Baby Classes
Craig and I have been attending every baby class that is offered by Kaiser in an attempt to get all possible information. while we know we'll learn by experience, it's nice to get as much information we can before hand.
We've attended a 'getting started' class - with an instructor who had an interesting communication style. (uncomfortably long eye contact, and an overzealous use of the word 'awesome')
we've attended a 'baby care basics' class where we learned some baby care basics, such as diapering and swaddling. one of the requirements for the class was to bring in a doll that was the size of a newborn. since neither craig or i had a baby doll sitting around, we brought in the next best thing, a teddy bear who we named Harry T. Behr.

we've also started our lamaze classes. there is a lot of good information in this class, but the birth videos are disarming to say the least. while i know labor and delivery is inevitable, i'm not sure that watching a parade of other women in pain is helping to ease my apprehension at all. i have also learned that comfortable clothes are a must when in a class where you're crawling around on the floor for at least part of it.

Spoiled Rotten
wiggly is going to be a spoiled baby, and i'm not doing too bad at getting spoiled either.
i got some hilarious postpartum post cards from Alicia (provider of the hilarious onesies).


Wiggly also got a beautiful knit blanket from Tara - knitter extraordinare. in addition to being a beautiful blanket, it also doubles as a belly cozy.

finally - while at another baby related event - we won a raffle! we won a newborn care kit of mustela items. the kit has soap, shampoo, lotion, and other fun things. since winning raffles doesn't happen to me often, i was quite excited.


Wiggly News
and the news that you're all actually interested in - wiggly!
if activity is any indication, wiggly is quite healthy. we've taken to referring to wiggly as 'alien baby' when he/she is moving around so much that you can see the movement from the outside. the thumps and thuds that used to be wiggly's preferred movements have been replaced by more squirming, and a lot of pushing. i can see, and feel, some bony body parts poking out.
we're 30 weeks along, 10 to go.
