Child Birthing Class

So last night was very interesting for Kyle and I, we attended our first child birthing class and let me just say it was very interesting. :) The first half of the 3 hour class was devoted to labor from beginning to end. It was super informative and I really enjoy knowing everything I can know before I experience this whole process. Kyle on the other hand was interested as well, but was also the class clown. It is hilarious to watch him be the center of attention. I love it when Kyle makes a room full of people laugh. He is especially good with older women... they always love him, mostly because he flirts with them, but hey, I'm secure. ;)

Anyway, the class was interesting and then we got to the relaxation techniques. She had us lie on the floor, which Kyle thought was funny for some reason (awkward). Then she started taking us through different relaxation scenarios and apparently they worked for me because about 2 mins in I was completely asleep. The next thing I know I hear the teacher saying "You might want to tap your partner because they might have fallen asleep" and Kyle not so gently hitting my back telling me to wake up. The teacher then proceeds to say "I hope you found one of these situations to helpful." I'm thinking - yeah, just put on soft music and lay down... apparently that works well enough for me. :)

I am looking forward to next week. We will be touring the maternity ward and then watch some birthing videos (Kyle is NOT excited about the latter, it will be interesting to see if he is the 'class clown' during the videos - please no!).

Feeling like a beached whale...

Ha, OK, so it has been a while since we took a 'weekly' picture and wholly cow... I'm huge! I'm still feeling great, although I am noticing that I get uncomfortable pretty fast. I can't sit in one position or stand for more than 10 mins without feeling like I need to move.

On the plus side of things, I put my notice in at work so I will officially be a Stay-At-Home-Mommy for at least the first year of Ryland's life!!! My last day at work will be December 7th, so if all goes as planned I will have almost a month to spend getting ready for Ryland and resting. I am so excited about this new chapter in our life! It will be the first time in our marriage that I have not worked, so it will be really neat to see how it changes the dynamics and hopefully brings some peace to Kyle.

Just a few baby shower pics... there will be more to come!











What a blast this was! Tal, Aylin and Kristy (and Mom) ... you all went way overboard, but I loved every minute of it! Thank you so much! Ryland is so blessed to have you all in her life.

Ryland Shay Witt

That will be her name!!! :) I can't wait for her to come into our life! It is getting really close and I am getting super excited! We are having our second baby shower this weekend and I am so pumped for it! I am excited that my family is coming in town and that all the people that are so very important in my life (well most of them) will be there under one roof celebrating Ryland.

I will post pictures soon! :)
