So Jacques and I have spent our entire week shopping for the baby. Finishing up on things we needed, Like a Pack and Play, and getting more things he does not need, like a million more toys and clothes. It is starting to get ridiculous his closet is filled with clothes. More clothes than I have. His toy box is full. He has a crib filled with stuffed animals. I mean it’s really just crazy. However neither of us (as in Jacques and I) seem to be able to stop. It’s like we took a drug and are hooked. It’s actually quite hilarious. I mean we can’t even go into a grocery store without finding some random little thing for him. He is not even born yet and in fact won’t be for another seven weeks and already he is so spoiled. I think it is a mixture of us being very fortunate lately on the financial aspect of our life(ALL THANKS TO GOD OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!) and also we feel truly blessed by God to even be having a baby, since I was told I would never have kids. This is a very special time in our life and He is our little gift from God so its hard not to want to give him everything!
On another note everything is going well. Jacques started school back up this week and I have to say I am so very proud of him. Seeing someone you love succeed is a really great feeling! Last Saturday we had our first of two child birthing classes and it was really great we had a very funny teacher and although we both know A LOT about birth and children and we knew almost everything we were taught we did learn a few things about the details of the birthing process. The VERY detailed videos however Jacques and I both could have done without. Jacques said it made him a little nervous... I THINK THAT’S FUNNY! The class overall though gave me the extra push of confidence I needed to officially say NO to an epidural. However I am not completely ruling out an epidural if I am in labor for a crazy amount of time. I will be attempting labor WITHOUT an epidural and do not want the hospital staff to offer it (or any other drugs) unless I ask for them. And Jacques is going to be there to do his best at talking me out of it every time I want it. But like I said after the class I feel very confident I CAN DO IT WITHOUT AN EPIDURAL. I believe in myself and the strength God has given me. But who knows maybe ill be in labor for a really long time and just need that extra help, but with all the birthing position possibilities I am confident I will be just fine. Hope everyone has an amazing up coming weekend.

I think that is so sweet that you guys can't stop buying for your baby!! Best of luck wanting to do it all natural! I am all for pain meds but you can do anything you want to do it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah I am not against pain meds I just want to see how far I can push myself!
