Baby Showers, Birthing Class & Weekend Fun

Our weekends have been full lately. Two of the last three weekends we've been in Andale and Olathe for Suzanne's baby showers. Needless to say they both went great and were a lot of fun. We want to thank everyone for everything they did to make them both special days. It was great to see everyone and be able to share that time with you. And the gifts were pretty sweet too :)

This last weekend we had a birthing class that was an all day affair. We started at 8:30 and left the hospital around 6:00 that night. It was an in-depth class discussing and explaining the birthing process and what to expect during labor. It was a lot of good information and helps you feel a little more confident in the process. At least you don't feel 100% lost, just partially :) We got a tour at the end of the day and now will be looking at possibly doing a couple classes on infant care, etc. We're both excited and obviously a little anxious for the big day. Not too far off - at 34 weeks today! We've had a couple check ups recently and everything seems to be going well at this point. After this Wednesday we'll start to go every week until Baby is here.

And lastly, at the end of our day long class, we got to come home to watch K-State continue it's dominance of Texas. We hosted a little get together and got to watch the game with some family and friends. It was a great weekend all in all.

We are blessed to be able to spend the time that we do with all of the people in our lives and don't take it for granted. We'll try to stay up on this a little better. Hope to see everyone soon.

Ok, so right now the blog is being difficult and not letting me upload pictures. So once I figure that out, I'll be posting some pics of the showers. And if any of you can tell me why I can't upload this I would appreciate it :)

House Work

We've been busy lately and haven't taken the chance to update our blog. Obviously. So we'll try to catch you up on the highlights of what's been going on. First off, we've been working on a few different rooms in our house (think nesting phase on steroids) and have seen some progress over the last month or so. We finally got around to painting our dining room and found a good deal on some furniture for the room. And we're finishing our basement. This one will be a long term project but we've been able to knock out a wall and start framing. Probably be a while before I pick back up on this project but it's started. No going back. I'll get pictures of that process up once we have some more progress. Baby's room in the next to be worked on.
