Baby school

We have now hit 34 weeks! Only six more to go. I'm starting to feel the effects of carrying around 30 extra pounds. I've got the pregnancy waddle and it feels like I'm walking around on blow-up toys because my feet are so swollen. I'm also really congested (another preggo symptom) and have been keeping Bryan awake at night with my loud, labored breathing. I'm sure I'll be snoring any day now.

Baby girl has been moving all over the place lately. I can definitely feel legs, arms and feet through my belly now. And I felt the first hiccups last night. She didn't seem too happy about them either because she started kicking like crazy after about 30 seconds of hiccuping. Can't say I blame her. I hate them too.

And we finally got the office cleaned out! Woohoo!!! Bryan tackled the big job of reorganizing the garage last Saturday and it looks great. There's still some work to do to get the closet cleaned out but the office furniture is gone! I tried to help but my balloon feet and tight belly stopped me from being too much more than just moral support. My mom is going to come paint next week and we should be able to start getting things organized after Christmas. Fortunately my maternity leave starts two weeks before my due date so I should have time to do things like wash baby clothes and apply decals to the walls.

As this post's title implies we've also started to take some of our classes at Kaiser, or "baby school" as Bryan likes to call it. On Tuesday we had a labor & delivery tour at the hospital and found out where we need to check in, park, etc. so that when the big event happens we won't be running around looking for the right department. I'd already seen most of the rooms and stuff when Tracey delivered Ian and Nicole at the same hospital but it was good for Bryan to get the "lay of the land". Next Wednesday, on Bryan's 42nd birthday, we will be taking a Baby Basics class. Bryan gets to spend the big day putting diapers on dolls and giving them baths. How fun. And then on Thursday I've got a breastfeeding class (Bryan gets to skip that one). It's all starting to seem real now...
