Our 7th Anniversary and 1st day of Childbirth Classes

Yesterday was our seventh anniversary. Kev and I celebrated by attending our first childbirth prep classes. I guess it shows the transition that will be occurring in our lives pretty soon. We celebrated on Sunday by going to our favorite diner. I was craving a real ice cream milk shake, McDonalds just wouldn't work. We also did some car shopping for our expanding family. 

Childbirth classes went well, we learned how to breathe during early labor, I am guessing its the easiest part. We learned how to do the labor dance and how Kevin can make me comfortable when the time comes by helping me with breathing. All and all it seems like it will be a good class and our instructor informed us we could close our eyes during the scary videos if we wanted. She doesn't want anyone passing out on her watch. I am looking forward to learning more about what will help me during the "marathon" I am approaching. Our classes continue for 5 more weeks on monday nights. 

As for the seven years of marriage, I couldn't have asked for any better, I am truly blessed to have been lucky enough to find my best friend and husband. God has blessed our marriage and we can't complain.

The Princess Suite Adorned

We are coming along with the nursery adding finishing touches to her princes suite. Last night we washed her bed linens and thanks to both sets of parents have her bed fit for a princess.  Today we dressed the wall with  the letters for her name and started hanging more things to add to its beauty. We went to my mom and dad's to work on her toy box which has been worn in by me, her mommy,  and her uncle Brandon. Dad and Kevin broke a sweat sanding and stripping off old lining to get her toy box in tip top shape. Mom and I sanded some, the most we could do without getting too tired. Paint and decorations will be added to the toy box on another day perhaps one with more sun and warmth. My due date is coming quicker and there is a sudden urge to get things finished before my energy runs out. It was a fun and productive day. I even managed to get my toes painted by my niece Dominique, which was a blessing considering I can't reach them to paint them myself anymore.  Lots of things are changing and the excitement is building. Stay tuned for more fun to come!
