I've been up since 6:30. Not by choice, it's just what time my eyeballs snapped open. They seem to be doing that more and more these days, no matter how late I get to bed the night before. Is my body preparing itself for impending motherhood? At least I'm not getting up during the night to pee anymore. I don't know how or why that has stopped, but I'm certainly glad it did!
Yesterday was childbirth class. I'm so glad we went. We learned so much, alot was basics that I probably already knew or had read about, but it was good to hear it again. The breathing techniques actually seemed like they might help. And I'm confident now that I'm going to really try to get through this without pain medications. I kind of wanted to do that in the first place, but I was really chickening out before. Now I feel like I really can do it. But I'm not totally taking the meds off the table. If I decide to use them, I'm not going to be upset about it.
Then I went to Leah's wedding last night. It was a lovely ceremony, very short & sweet. Nobody talked to me though. Oh, I guess I got a couple of "hi" or "when are you due?", but otherwise nothing. It was awkward, uncomfortable and I really wish I would have just sent the card. I think it's officially time to close the door on that whole situation.
My baby shower is this afternoon! I can't wait!
Oh, I think we've decided to change the way we spell Katie's middle name. We're going to go with C-l-a-r-e, instead of C-l-a-i-r-e. It honors Doug's dad more that way. And I have a new middle name suggestion for you...Alyse. I know her inititals won't spell a real word then, but it's getting closer. Plus, it kind of reminds me of Alyssa, which if I remember was at the top of Josh's list, right?
