All in all I'd say it was worth the long weekend. We learned a lot! Not only did we watch some videos of births and what to expect, we also went on a tour of the hospital, learned some tricks to cope with labor (breathing and relaxation techniques), were informed about all the options in terms of drugs and possible scenarios to be prepared for, and also met some nice other expecting couples. I must admit - I feel a bit more prepared than before. And while I worry about what to expect...this I know Aaron is sure to keep me laughing with his rendition of the breathing exercises.
Last night we went to see a movie to unwind and to think about something else for awhile. We saw Valkyrie (with Tom Cruise). It was fairly good - lots of history. This morning we haven't been doing much of anything other than lounging about, picking up the house, and doing laundry.
Aaron did receive a text this afternoon letting us know that his coworker and friend Logan had her baby. We don't think she was due to the end of the month - so needless to say it was a bit early. Her son DeSean was born around 10 a.m. this morning and weighed in at something like 7 pounds and 20 inches long. We may try to stop by the hospital tomorrow evening to see their new addition. Of course, I will be curious to hear all about the labor and delivery.
This is a test of one of our xmas presents. This was a present from Uncle Chad. He got Aaron a neat little (about the size of a cell phone) video camera by Flip Video. It records up to 60 minutes of videos and easily connects to the computer via a usb connection. The video itself is short and of our nephew Peter in the hotel just before we left Detroit to head back to SC. With any luck this will make taking and sending pictures of Beck easy as pie. Thanks Uncle Chad!
