Last night Israel and I watched 2 videos that I had checked out from my hospital.  One was the birth process, and the other was on Lamaze.    It was…interesting.  I think what we saw was very helpful and it helped us understand what was going to happen, and different techniques that may help block some of the pain.  There were some parts of the video that looked really cooky…like when all of the couples were doing a relaxation technique and they were all sprawled out in the living room.  It almost reminded me of hypnosis.  Overall, I think it was good though.  I think we may have to watch it again just to remember the exercises.  I think at times Israel was having trouble staying focused.  Here I was, trying to learn the different techniques, and then Israel would make some comment like, “Look at that girl’s neck!  She looks like a giraffe!” or, “I think Bentley is doing some relaxation techniques too, because he just farted! HAHAHA!”  So yeah, we’ll probably have to watch it few more times so we can remember all of the information that they gave us.     

I can’t believe the baby is due so soon!!  I’m almost in the 35th week which means that in a little over a week, if the baby is born, it wouldn’t be considered a premie.  In a little over 3 weeks, the baby will be full-term…and could be born at any time from that point!  We along with our friends have been praying that the baby waits for Israel to come back from Australia.  We’ll see what happens.  I am glad, though, that my in-laws are coming to help us!  Juan, Evelyn, and our nephew Jacob will be coming soon to spend time with us and help us prepare everything before the baby comes.  That will be exciting.  

Well, I need to get going because my students are starting to come in for Math…until next time…
