Happy Thursday! What's this? Two posts in two weeks, I'm outta control. We've had a pretty busy/productive week getting BK's nursery put together. I've been super productive since Hurricane Sandy gave me an opportunity to purge and give half of my belonging to Good Will.
Over the weekend I took a breastfeeding class offered through our hospital. I went in knowing not too much, just that breastfeeding is good for the baby, good for you, and cost effective. The teacher was great and went over lots of different aspects of breastfeeding. I saw tons of boobs on the videos she showed us, I'm boobed out. I also called our insurance company and they will cover the cost of a breast pump for us which is amazing news and quite the cost saver. Basically, I learned a lot and feel more confident about breastfeeding and selecting the right bottles, nipples and pacifiers for our baby. We are scheduled to take two more classes Baby 101 and Infant CPR. Ashby is super thrilled about spending an entire Saturday learning about babies but it must be done!
We also went to the movies and saw Flight on Saturday. It was pretty good. Much more drug related than I had anticipated but still a great movie. We bought popcorn, duh, because movie theater popcorn is the bomb, I also brought along some raisinetes. I'm a rebel.
Oh we also took stuff out of BK's room to the dump and then went to the Courthouse to get our early voting on. There are perks to being pregnant and apparently it's a legit reason for needing to vote early. I forced Ashby to vote also, he had never ever voted before. WHHHAATTT!! He also ended up stealing directions on how to vote as we left, it was unintentional but sorta funny. In case you're wondering, here is how it's done in Hanover County....
All week long Ashby and I have been working to put together Bailey's nursery. We (I mean mostly Ashby) moved all the furniture out, painted, put the crib together, put the lamp together, hung the curtains. Here is a little sneak preview...
I love the way it's turning out so far. All we have left to do decoration wise is paint a dresser that we plan to use as the changing table and decide on some wall decorations.
My parents are spending the weekend with us and should get here sometime today. I'm so excited! I haven't seen them since August : ( The boys have tee times lined up and the girls have plenty of shopping errands to get done. This is how legit our list is...
-Get nails done
-Go to DSW and any other store in the Short Pump area.
-Go to Trader Joe's to get PB for my Dad. (They don't have TJ's in Kentucky)
-Find a "going home" outfit for BK
-See Skyfall. Tickets bought. Holler.
-Eat white chili
There are one million other things but I can't find the email my Mom sent me that listed it all.
