Anyone that has kept up with this blog knows I get bored with my backgrounds! Just imagine how often I change my desktop background!Anyhoo, we got some great news this weekend! We had our roof analyzed, an insurance adjustor came over, and we got approved for...not only a new roof, but new seamless guttering, downspouts, and painted ceilings on the interior! No
money out of pocket whatsoever! Not even a deductible! WHOOOHOO! I love new stuff. I am soooo excited to get some flowers planted. I want some color around this house! I had school this past Saturday, but only for a half day. Pretty worthless, except for the fact that we were done by 1:00 and it counts for a full day. Monday rolled around too suddenly, then I had to work a track meet tonight, so I am pooped!
Now that I am almost to 30 weeks (this Thursday), I am 
thinking that maybe I should take some classes at the hospital...some "get ready and get prepared" type classes.....tour the special delivery floor and all....I am starting to feel like I am not prepared for this monumental task that lies ahead of me! The closer I get to "D-Day" the more terrified I get. A friend pointed out recently that I am probably more prepared NOW than my friends that had babies 10-15 years ago, and I imagine that is true, but now I am more stuck in my ways. I guess God will change what needs to be changed and put me into the right perspective.

I love your colorful new blog style. I can say I have taken a class at the hospital on breastfeeding. Now with my 32 week approaching next week, I thought it was time to take my lamaze course. This weekend we are scheduled for a Friday night and Saturday of our lamaze to get caught up to speed. I think I will feel more prepared after taking this class even though I'm not really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteit is always good to get free stuff especially if it has to do with the house! i hope your flour planting goes well lately my mom has been going crazy planting all of the flours around the house. but i hate to say it but the yard looks great.i bet you are more prepared than your friends since you are so good with kids.

Nice Background!!! You will be great Holly!
ReplyDeleteI must admit, when I first clicked on your blog, I was confused. I couldn't figure out where I was (it took a few minutes for your header to come up). :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome about all the free goodies coming your way. All that stuff is REALLY expensive to replace, so WOW!
Honestly, nothing can TRULY prepare you except for the experience itself. Everyone is so different. What you hear in classes may not be the way your goes at all. I was glad I attended all those classes when I was waiting for the big day, but once the big day came, I was hacked off that my experience was NOTHING like anyone described. Trust me, you'll know what to do. Mothers have that gift.
Thanks Jacob and Amy! I hope so!
ReplyDeleteOK, so Kodi, are you saying that it doesn't really help all that much to go to classes? I've heard that from several people....
I think I will go to a La Leche meeting or a breastfeeding class though, since I am clueless on that and don't know how to use the pump I have from Melody. Hopefully they can show me.
Tanya~I'm curious how that class goes for you...please let me know.
Love the flowers! I can't wait to start planting this weekend. I have nothing to offer on the whole birthing process.....LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe classes comforted me during the waiting game. If anything, I would say the maternity ward tour is the best thing to do. They explain how everything will happen from the time you arrive and you get to see the room. Maybe I would have appreciated the classes more had I had a "typical" experience. I'm finding out that most people didn't have the same experience as me. Number one thing I learned...Epidurals don't ALWAYS work. Had someone told me that even if I got one, it may not work, I think I would have been more prepared.
ReplyDeletethis is jacob i think i have some bad news, i hope not but Abby said,"i dont have the feeling that i used to when we were first going out." i am very scared because she is a really great girl and i don't want to lose her, but if that is what she want's than so be it. it is all up to her(i hate this). i don't know what to do so if you know. than can you give me some advice. she has made a huge impact in my life that i will never forget. i am thankful for all of the memories that i have had with someone this special.WHAT CAN I DO??????????????
ReplyDeleteI am kind of confused. Abby broke up with me! but at least she made me realize that there really are great girls out there, and if i just be myself that i can have that in my life and through that i did. i also went to her barrel race yesterday and i got to see her and her family. it was kinda okward, but we talked and her mom was very friendly. it was good to see her she looked great and i still have feelin's for her but i went to see her that being friends is betta than nothin.
