One of our best couple friends threw a Halloween party this year. I despise paying money for cheap and itchy costumes that only get worn once. So this year, I made our costumes. We were Twister the board game. We had a great night with lots of friends, and I have to say that out of all the yummy food, the chocolate fountain was the highlight of the evening for Baby and I.
We've had our last pregnancy education class. It was a quite informative class letting us what to expect in a "normal" labor and delivery - is there such a thing as "normal"? We got a virtual hospital tour, and will be taking an actual tour as we get closer to The Big Day. Lots of information on drugs - which I listened to, but am set on my decision to have a natural child birth.
Baby C is quite active, especially in the early mornings and late at night. Ryan was able to feel the baby kicking around a few days ago, and of course that was very exciting for him. I'm glad he now gets to feel the baby moving around now too. I get weekly emails letting me know how the baby is progressing, and the size of the baby is always compared to some sort of food - not sure if that's the smartest comparison tool to use when emailing a pregnant woman! Baby C is about the length of a banana right now, and is weighing about 11 ounces.
Baby C's room is already coming together. Ryan and his dad painted the room and installed the chair rail, and it looks amazing! The crib was delivered last week, and Ryan has already built it. The dresser and changing table is expected to arrive today, so Daddy has a project for this weekend.
We decided to keep the guest bed in the room for now. After all, Nana (my mom) will be staying for a week after Ryan goes back to work after the baby comes. And G.G. (short for great grandma) will be coming to stay and help out for a while after Baby C is born, and we can't have either of them sleeping on the couch!
Nice to see Grandpa "earning his keep." :D)))))
