We have had a very busy week and a half. We were given the good news that we passed the glucose test with flying colors. All I can say is Thank Goodness!! I do not want to do that again for awhile. We attended our first Preparation for Childbirth Class. It was very interesting. We learned some breathing and relaxation techniques as well as some medical terminology. We are in a class with 11 other couples so it is actually a lot of fun.
Last Sunday, December 4th we lost Ricky's Grandfather, Richard Butler. He will be greatly missed. We have so many stories to share with our little one when he arrives about Grandaddy Butler. He truly enjoyed life and enjoyed spending time with others sharing memories. He had the best chuckle that makes me smile every time I think about it.
Thankfully, our instructor for our class agreed to meet with us early for our second session. We learned even more techniques to use as well as some things to expect before going to the hospital and after we arrive. We are so thankful that they have been willing to work with our crazy schedule so Ricky will hopefully be able to attend most of the sessions.
We have also managed to get the Christmas Tree assembled, decorated and all of the presents wrapped. I am very thankful this is done and now I can relax and enjoy all of the Christmas movies on Hallmark. Ricky worked really hard to decorate the tree and to help wrap all of the presents. I am so thankful that he is home to help. The belly and Gabriel make it hard to sit in the floor for gift wrapping. Gabriel has enjoyed sneaking around the corner and attempting to unwrap many presents. He is going to keep me on my toes.
All in all, we have been busy but it is time that we have had together.
