A day at the races

David and I made our first trip to Church Hill Downs this past weekend. We went with our friends Adam and Kendie. We got all dressed up, sat in a wonderful suite and ate some great food. We tried to bet - yea right - we had no idea what we were doing! We now know why we don't even pay the lottery, we have no luck when it comes to betting. It's a good thing that we have many blessings from God!

So, I had my first every other week doctor's appointment on Monday. It was quick, easy and painless. I waited for 30 minutes and saw the doctor for 15 minutes. A quick pee in the cup, heart beat count, measurement, and I was on my way. Our next appointment will be in two weeks, that visit we have to pre-register at the hospital. That was my wake up call that it's just around the corner.

Monday night David and I had our 6th Bradley class. We only have 2 more to go! Next week we have to "pretend" that I am in labor for a whole hour! That should be fun. This will be David's last class he will be in New Orleans for the last one. I am so proud of him he has come so far, just in 6 weeks. The first class David could of cared less. Second class, he feel asleep! Third class, this was the "coaches responsibility" class, he finally started to pay attention. Fourth class, I think it actually hit him that we are having a baby. After that class he has been all about it. Thank God! I prayed so long and hard about it.

Work has been so busy. I look at my calendar and see that I only have two months left, it stresses me out. I have so much to do. I keep praying everyday that the event I have on Monday will have a great turn out - so far I only have 10 people confirmed and I need 40 more. Please pray that I will get 40 more. I have to start working on my maternity leave letter - they have to be out by Memorial Day.

This week we start interviewing for pediatricians. This should be fun! Pray that we find a good one. Next week David and I have a "caring for baby" class. In this class we have to treat dolls like our babies - I will take pictures of that.

Have a great week!
