So it didn’t occur to me until sometime last week when I realized I had never ACTUALLY signed up for those birth (Bradley) classes. I had talked to the instructor by email and found out the cost and that she had room… then my mind had a white-out and I didn’t do anything more. Umm, panic! I emailed the instructor to find out if there was still space and if I could register ASAP. I just heard back and it all sounds fine. Whew. Exhale.

So it sounds like our classes will be starting on January 9th, Wednesday evenings. (Unfortunate that some friends of mine just decided on Wednesday evening as our movie night… we’ll have to change it again!) I’m feeling very excited, very positive about it. I really can’t believe it is coming up so soon.

Den was ordering some books today so I added on two books to his order: Gentle Birth Choices and The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth. They both come highly recommended. I figure I’ll start with the birth books, especially since our birth class is started in January, and later I’ll get the vaccine and breastfeeding books that I want.

It’s kind of funny… work has been weighing me down lately, and thinking about baby stuff really relaxes me. Even if it’s just signing up for birthing class and ordering baby-related books. It’s a way for me to re-connect with what’s really important in life.

Although I must say, having my pretty little tree lit up and two cats sleeping on the bed with us doesn’t hurt either. :) Good kitties. (As long as they stay away from my tree!)

Before I forget – things that taste really good lately: Fritos (mmmmm salty and so good!) and cookies. Oh so nutritious! I’m trying to limit my consumption. Sort of.
