A quickie
Thanksgiving was awesome. We came home with a truck full of baby stuff, thanks in part to my sisters passing things down and in part to the 2 (TWO!) surprise showers over the weekend (some of the family couldn’t make it all the way to my hometown for the one, so they threw their own). We also ate lots of yummy food, as is required. The potato dumplings were fabulous, and we have leftovers in the fridge, ready to fry up when we get a chance. And of course there was pumpkin pie, which is my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner.
Ryan and I are attending the Labor & Delivery class from the hospital. It runs 6-9:30pm Tuesday through Thursday this week. Since Ryan doesn’t get off work until 5 it means a few meals eaten out and on the go this week, and straight to bed when we get home. But, so far the class has been helpful and pretty cool. We got to tour the birthing center last night, and it set my mind at ease about a lot of things (wireless monitoring of baby’s heartbeat and my contractions, so I’m free to move around and even shower if I want to; all the rooms are singles, so no chance of a roommate you don’t know or don’t like; wireless internet available (I have my priorities in order, obviously)).
Hopefully I’ll get to a more extensive post soon. Maybe even with pictures that I will steal from facebook since we forgot our camera.

Wireless monitoring!?! That rocks!
I gave my L&D nurses all sorts of hassle with those dang monitor belts slipping around. They kept running in, thinking there was a problem, when the only problem was that the monitor was trying to read Gus’s heartbeat through my spinal cord. And inevitably they’d try to put them back in place in the middle of a contraction. Hooray for no belts!
I loved getting the tour and being able to picture where my babies would be born. Makes it all a little more real somehow.

I am either tipsy or senile, because I was trying to figure out what a “T.W.O.” shower was for, like, a full 5 seconds. Think I’ll take a multivitamin and go to bed early tonight.
