Last night we went to a "Baby Basics" class. We bathed a doll, learned how to swaddle. and kevin changed his first diaper. We learned about freaky medical things and saw pictures of what newborns look like fresh from the... um... stork. Its all what I was expecting, but the guy sitting next to me was disturbed... um dude, what the hell were you expecting... its been in a sack of fluid for 9 months and passed through the birth canal. Its not pretty. He seemed a little confused. My cousin Chad was there with his wife, Kandra. Shes due in two or three weeks, but they think she's going earlier than that.
Next Saturday we have a Birthing Preperation class. I'm guessing we'll learn focal points and breathing. I'm scheduling a tour for the hospital so we'll know what to do and where to go on the "big day". I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and now I'll begin going to weekly appointments until the baby is born.
Kevin's job is moving him. AGAIN. First he was commuting to Crookston (30miles) and then he got to stay in East Grand Forks (5 minutes from home) and then they made him go to Larimore part time... NOW they're making him go to Lakota and Devils Lake... you know... the town we moved AWAY FROM! 3 hour commute everyday!! Whats the point.. why do they keep moving him around? Now they're giving him the Ford Focus back to drive IN THE WINTER back and forth. What if he is in DL when I go into laybor?! What if he gets stuck there! What if it storms and he misses the whole birth!? These are selfish fears... and whats your point!?
In the contract it should have said "we try to screw you every chance we get" Sign here X.
Ah.... he'll make it... I'll buy him snow shoes... and a pack of sled dogs and some jerky for the road... and he'll make it.

I don't think they are selfish concerns. They all sound valid, and exactly like concerns any pregnant woman that's going to give birth in a few weeks, should have. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that when you go into labor Kevin is right there with you, but if he's not you know you've got lots of people here in town willing and able to drive you to the hospital.
Oh, and jerky's a really good idea. ;)
I can not believe that they are making Keve commute to DL. That is insane.
It can take a first time mother a while before she delivers (I was in HARD labor for 14 hours before the doc decided on a c-section) so if you notify Kev the very moment you have contracts he should be in GF by sled dogs before having the baby. Otherwise, I will have my mom give him her Jeep just so he can make it.
Have faith. I know God wouldn't screw two of the greatest people that I know.
Well if kev gets stuck in DL i'll get him back, I fear no weather, not even in my Saturn. as long as I can get out of the parking lot i can get anywhere in that thing.
I still don't have a blog, and probably never will but my xbox 360 does. Does that make it cooler than me. here's the link http://www.360voice.com/blog.asp?tag=continuity42
