Bry and I are all done with birth school and we even got a certificate! :) I’m really glad we did that whole thing. It makes me feel a lot safer and I will definitely try using all breathing techniques during the labor… Time is ticking and it’s less and less time to go… That’s crazy how time flies. 5 weeks ago, when we started attending the classes, I thought of that time as something so remote and that we even might have a baby by then or any time after that magical date – October 11th… :)My mom is coming next Thursday, which is a week from today (it’s 1.08 in the morning) and everything seems so real, maybe even too real. There’s no turning back anymore and I really hope I’ll be able to handle everything that future holds… Basically, what I’m trying to say is that I’m petrified of the whole baby thing, which – read between the lines – is labor. But I confide in Bry and everybody else who’s going to be with me and I’m so grateful I’m not alone… :)
On the other note, I updated my registry in Target and I’m all finished with it! :) It looks pretty good! Also my invitations have been delivered and that makes me so happy and excited. I can’t wait for my baby shower! :)
I wanted to do the "natural" childbirth with no epidural and 9 hours into my labor, the nurse said to me. . .

So, if you need to get an epidural, DO IT! If you can do it without, GO YOU!
I'd be worried if you WEREN'T nervous about labor! Everyone is! But you can do it! I've never labored, but I've had two C-sections that I was terrified of. Right after he's born, you'll forget all about it, and pretty soon afterwards you'll be ready to do it all again!
