I just looked at the number... !! Not even two weeks!!
And I really want to go to the zoo. But I know my ankles will swell. So I guess I can't.
Anyway, the whole reason I was going to write today was because we had our Newborn Care class. I'm a little less nervous about taking care of him after the hospital... when we're at home all alone and thinking.. Ok, what do we do now?? We basically covered the car seat, changing diapers, first baths, sleeping time, feeding time, and swaddling. And the lady was really great at answering our questions. I was most worried about taking care of his belly button and his not-belly-button. I've never had a little boy around, so all of this is new to me. But, I guess it could be worse. There were two ladies that were having their firsts also - which happened to be twins. Eeek!
I thought the bathing was the best though. It answered my questions, and I also found out that some of the stuff people bought us.. was useless.. like baby powder. So... I guess I'll be the one to use it. Baby smells are just lovely anyway. (I'm talking about the lotions and oils and stuff. Not the other kinds of smells. Gross.)
So yesterday we installed the car seat, finished packing the bags and put them in the car, bought my month's worth of groceries, and somehow I took like two or three naps. Tomorrow is our Birthing class. All day. Let you know more later.
I was just discussing with my mom changing boys diapers. This is going to sound crazy but they all look so different! Every time I'm like "Okay, I know what to expect. They're all the same." And then I pop that diaper open and I'm like, "Whoa! Totally different." And I worry about whether it's supposed to look that way. Haha! But I guess you won't run into that problem because you'll only see the one.
