Happy Thanksgiving!!

YAY!! We worked hard over the long weekend and finally got the nursery painted! We also finished pulling up the carpet and we are now ready to start getting organized for Baby Collins!! We still don't have much to put in there, but it's nice to get what we do have out of the living room.

The birthing class is still going good - I look forward to it every week. We have learned several pain coping techniques, but mostly they are trying to prepare us emotionally I think. They do a lot of answering questions and addressing emotional blocks that we may have that might slow us down or get in our way during labor, and they give us lots of information about possible interventions and why they might need them and what they might do.

Baby Collins is getting really big and she is still acting like a little gymnast in there. She's head down every time we have an appointment, but she spins and kicks furiously. She doesn't keep me up at night (I usually sleep like a rock) but I know she's in there kicking because John feels her at night. Supposedly, she's about 17 inches and almost 4 pounds.

We had a good Thanksgiving but I wish I'd have been able to eat more!! It gets uncomfortable and hard to breathe after a big meal, but it's probably better that I didn't eat as much as I wanted to!! And the long weekend was nice... now that we finished the nursery, I can start on the rest of the list of things to do before her arrival. I can't wait!!
