Parenting Class- Teacher: Julianna

On Sunday evening I was reading what every mother to be reads, What to Expect While You are Expecting. Julianna asked me what I was reading about and I told her that I was learning about how to take care of her sister. She didn't need to know that I was reading about cervix dilation and contractions. I guess that she was a little concerned that I was not prepared for a baby, so she offered to give me a Baby Class.
We had our baby class tonight. She taught me about feeding the baby and using a pillow underneath the baby's head (good tip). I also learned about burping, using burp cloths so that I don't get it on my clothes, bathing, and diapering the baby. She was actually VERY informative and I know that she will be VERY helpful when the baby finally decides to come. Here are a couple pictures from the baby class. If you have any questions about parenting, please feel free to call me and I can pass the phone to her.Oh, something else funny about how much she actually knows. Since I have been pregnant she has made comments about how the doctor will cut on the line on my belly and the baby will come out. I am going with that- I don't think that she needs to know about labor and delivery at this point (in fact I think the less I knew the better off I would be). But the other evening she said, "Well mom, sometimes you just push three times and the baby will come out of your peeps." Oh really? I didn't really know how to handle the situation, so I just replied with the "Oh really." I know bad mothering probably. The thing that makes me laugh is that it seems like she has been withholding this information from me for my benefit, and that it finally just slipped out.
Finally, baby update: NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! 1 cm dilated, she hasn't dropped, she seems happy where she is. I was hooked up to a fetal monitor this morning for a while and she is active and her heart rate is great. On Friday I will go in for an ultrasound to make sure that there is still enough fluid around her and that she is still doing well. If she still hasn't come on her own by the 20th, we will talk about scheduling me to be induced! I am so ready to have her, but I would rather her come on her own. Hopefully sooner than later.
