Friends, Class & Ultrasound

     It has been one busy and amazing week.  Thankfully Ricky and I were able to enjoy it together.  Our week started with friends and a dinner date.  We had some wonderful company over to our house for dinner, relaxing and catching up.  They just had their third child in December so it was really nice to be able to hear their story and get some much needed advice and laughs about what's to come for us.  It is always good to have someone who can help calm your fears or give you an experienced perspective.  I keep telling them they are going to be on speed dial for any emergencies that arise. 

Next on our agenda for the week:  Breastfeeding Class.  I am really looking forward to breastfeeding Kaiden.  I want to learn as much as possible before he arrives in hopes that it will be a great success for me and him.  Our Instructor was awesome.  She answered a lot of questions and was very good at explaining how to be successful with latching and what to watch out for.  She also helped us practice different ways to position the baby and even had the dad's practice so they would understand how to help mom when the time comes.  I am even more excited now.

     Our last big item of the week was a 4D Ultrasound.  I must say that we were not aware that we should have gone much sooner than we did.  In our minds, we were thinking the closer we are to our due date the more we will be able to tell who Kaiden will look like.  When I called to make the appointment and explained to the lady that we were transitioning into our 35th week, she was nice enough to tell me that we may not get very good pictures or video at all.  We decided to make the appointment anyway and she was right.  The pictures that we did get were not as clear as we would have hoped but the experience was awesome.  Sandra, the tech at Bella Baby who did our Ultrasound, had a lot of patience and was very determined to do everything she could to get us the best pictures possible.  Our 20 minute session actually lasted for an hour and twenty minutes.  All in all, we were able to see that our little guy will have chubby little cheeks (a trait from both his Mom and Dad), big feet, long legs, the sweetest little lips, and he sleeps with his legs crossed at the ankles and his hands crossed under one cheek.  We cannot wait until he arrives and reveals to all of us his precious little face.  Ricky and I left our appointment feeling quite prideful and excited that we will of course have the most beautiful baby boy in the entire world.

If all goes as planned, we are headed to a camping show tomorrow and then spending Monday at home relaxing!  We will also have our first baby shower next week.  It is going to be so much fun seeing everyone!!!
