Yesterday Eric and I attended an all day childbirth class at the hospital. Sadly, out of the dozen couples who were there, we were a) the oldest and b) actually married. Oh and c) didn't snicker every time the word "penis" or "breast" was mentioned. It made me sad to think these young people would be having babies in the next few weeks and actually have to be responsible for their little lives. While the nurse was explaining important things like epidurals and newborn care, these teens were sitting in the back checking the score of the Kentucky basketball game. I wanted to scream! Actually, I wanted to make them pass some test before they would be allowed to take their babies home! I can only imagine what the nurse was thinking.
In other news, things have calmed down a bit for us since last week. Last week was quite stressful with the doctor looking at my blood pressure readings and crazy number of Braxton-Hicks and telling me that it was "highly unlikely" we would be waiting until May 14th for our little man to make his big arrival. If that doesn't make your blood pressure go up, I don't know what would!! The doctor gave me 2 shots of steroids to boost Aiden's lung development just in case he is in fact born preterm. It seems my body has calmed down this week and hopefully the scare is over for now. I remind myself that the good Lord knows Aiden's exact arrival date and time and that He already has all of this scary stuff figured out for us. Aiden has always been in God's hands and I am just lucky enough to be included in His plans. So for now, my little roommate is just fattening up and trying to find more space to stretch out. ♥
