"You can't go wrong with alcohol"

Another great quote from our baby class teacher. She was talking about cleaning the umbilical cord. Not going to lie, I laughed pretty hard.

Last night was the last class. We are now ready to have a baby! Last night we learned all about swaddling and The Happiest Baby on the Block. We also watched a nice video about what the baby's first bowel movements should look like. Gross. Justin gets to change that diaper! I kept all of the handouts, because I know when this child starts screaming and won't stop, I am not going to remember to swaddle it, lay it on it's side, lightly jiggle it (not shake it, don't worry, it is not a rough jiggle, you are just barely moving your hand) and say shhhhhh REALLY loud. That is how you get the happiest baby on the block. We will see if it works. She also told us that if the baby is screaming and won't stop, that she will come over. No matter what time. I am holding her to it!

I am kind of sad that they are over. I really enjoyed that time with Justin and other expectant couples. It was fun.

I had my 3 hour the other day. I have nice bruises in both elbow creases from the 4 times they took my blood. It wasn't too bad, but by the end I was so tired and hungry. Plus, I still don't know the results. Boo.

We have another doctor's appt. on Friday. We get to see the baby!! Yay!

Have a great day everyone!
