Beachin at 31 Weeks

We have different expectations of where sand belongs

SO grateful for the holiday to spend together at the beach! 

Besides the shortness of breath and MEAN leg cramps we're doing swell! We attended a basic child birth class at the hospital where I will be delivering. It was a one time class (usually they last 6 weeks or so) but we did it all in 5 hours. Dez was not thrilled that I divulged that detail when we were already half way there, but I knew that was the only way I could get him there. =) The teacher was an interesting character but I did enjoy her attitude about birth.... IT'S A NATURAL PROCESS.  I've come to the point where I'm excited to trust my body and see what we can do! As of now I want to go all natural (but I've never felt a contraction before...)  Each room at the hospital where I will deliver has a big tub, so I plan to spend a lot of time in there. I'm working on my birthing plan now before I go see my Dr on Wednesday for my week 31 check up.  Knowledge is power, the more I'm learning, the better I feel about labor and delivery. 

I have been having weird dreams about the baby.  Last night I had I dream that I woke up and I was in the hospital and then a nurse brought me a baby. Supposedly it was mine, but I had no recollection of even going in to labor let alone giving birth. The baby didn't really connect and recognize with me because we never had our skin to skin contact after birth! I was so upset and thought I was drugged by the hospital! Then all of a sudden the baby was looked 2... but was still a newborn and I was sad she grew so fast.

Can you tell what my subconscious is focused on?

In other news, I will be working until the 24th and we learned we get to move into our 1 bedroom on the 27th!
