My pregnancy classes are:
done in one weekend! :)
|
|
| |
In the classes, I've learned how to:
Set routines for Sophia, allow her to establish her own routines, give Sophia her first sponge and regular baths, swaddle using a receiving blanket, handle a choking baby, recognize different infant states of wakefullness and sleep, achieve proper latch for breastfeeding, prevent all the negatives of breastfeeding and avoid nipple confusion.
|
|
| |
What I've bought for you so far:
Clothes and toys.
|
|
| |
What other people have bought for you:
Most of our nursery, clothes and other items of baby rearing necessity.
|
|
| |
The strangest food craving I've had during this pregnancy is:
I haven't had any food cravings.
|
|
| |
The strangest piece of advice I've gotten since this pregnancy started is:
I'm not so sure that we've gotten any strange advice yet. Although I could consider being told not to get an epidural strange advice. I'm not going to get a trophy at the end of delivery for bearing the pain child birth, so why do it?
|
|
| |
At my prenatal visit, I learned:
That I'm getting an ultrasound at 36-37 weeks!
|
|
| |
My hopes:
That Sophia comes out healthy and that the delivery is as easy as it can be. I also hope that she doesn't have colic, that she sleeps well and that she takes quickly to breastfeeding.
|
|
| |
My fears:
That the first week(s) will be unbearable, that Sophia will cry non-stop, that I will never sleep again and go insane, that labor will be HORRIBLE and something will go wrong with the epidural, that for some reason we will be unable to breastfeed, that we will never leave our house again after Sophia is born, that it will take me forever to get back into prepregnancy shape or that I will be lumpy for the rest of my life and that our parents and others will constantly tell us that we are "doing it wrong."
