Kristin's Update


Oh my stars did my water break?? Nope, that is just me after spilling 32 oz of water all over me. If you can believe it, over the past few weeks I have increasingly become more clumsy!! I drop everything, chelsea loves dinner time as most of my food ends up either on my shirt or on the floor. I loose things and forget where I put things, its awful...

Last night Anthony and I went to our first birthing class. It is a small group, 4 couples. The instructor said because of the economy a lot of people are dropping out because they can't afford it.......unless you sit on your ass all day and get free health care, then its free...but thats another blog...The instructor is really nice and funny which makes it a good enviornment to ask questions. The other couples are very nice as well and I think we have a good class. Last night was a getting to know you session, you had to tell what your fears were about labor etc and the coaches had to tell what they wanted to get out of the course. Then we learned some basic anatomy stuff. At the end of class I had to give Anthony a massage, the partner needs love too, then I got one. We learned some breathing techniques and some stretching exersizes. Next week we start actual labor lessons! It was funny, when we arrive at the hospital we enter through the emergency room. I'm not sure if it was a full moon but there must have been 15 women sitting there waiting to be checked in, it was ridiculous. I hope when our day comes its nice and slow!!

This morning it was off to my doctors appt, I now go bi weekly. Everything was great, I actually lost weight so Fionna said I should start eating two buck buck eggs per day, MINIMUM. Jackson's heart was strong and all my blood work ( glucose and iorn) came back with flying colors. She said I'm probably done with blood work at this point.

Now I know some of our fans were worried about CHelsea, here she today resting while mommy and daddy worked



She is still our little baby and spolied rotten. Her new nightly routine involves sitting in between anthony's feet on the recliner, then when its time for bed she lays on me legs, she is equal oppurtunity. She is looking forward to meeting her baby brother and says if he is half as cute as her then he is one lucky duck. As I type this I hear panting behind me, someone has found daddy's socks in the laudry and is quite happy.....

Well thats all from me today.

I love having a small class. I also like the doula a lot! Next week we learn stages of birth, other types of meditation and breathing. Kristin is SO clumsy! I can tell you what she ate all day based on looking at her shirt. Today she had eggplant, buck buck eggs and a poo-poo platter for 2

Remember the first time we came to visit you in your new house and I spilled wine all over your kitchen table and then water all over your family room floor? Those were good times....

Glad you liked your class! And I'm glad that your doctor's appointment went well! Kristin, you forgot to mention the knitted uterus from your class....

You also spilled on Jared's yearbook, but he wasn't mad...

Yes, the teacher had a knitted uterus and I thought of you :-) You should knit some up and sell them to hospitals.

Hey Kristin! I know what you mean about being clumsy...I broke one of our beloved Fiestware gusto bowls the other day. :( I dried it, but as I sat it down on the counter, it started to roll a bit, so I went to grab for it, and of course, I knocked it off. I also find that I'll go to get something in another room in teh house, and when I get there, I forget why I'm there! :) Ah, the joys of being pregnant!
