I'm torn on whether I want to speed time up or slow it down!!! I am 25 weeks pregnant as of today!! Which means only 15 more weeks until my due date!! AHHHHHHHHH...........
I am so, so, so excited to meet this little kick boxer in my belly but since I am a crazy perfectionist I want everything to be in perfect order before she arrives. Some days I want to fast forward to January and hold our baby girl and be done with the frequent bathroom trips and enjoy just a small glass of wine...... and other days I love rubbing my HUGE (I mean really....can it really get any bigger?!?!) belly and feeling the little kicks and hiccups. This pregnancy has been going surprisingly quickly and it seems like just last month we were finding out we were pregnant.
Next week we start our birth classes and I am so excited about them! Although I am really not intimidated by labor (because I feel like it's a natural process that women have been doing since the beginning of time.....BUT please don't quote me on this later because it's quite possible I may change my mind and be scared as hell later, haha) I think the classes will give me some more confidence and give me a better idea of what to expect. I am looking forward to them for Frankie also. I think it will be helpful to him to know what to expect so that he doesn't think I am literally dying in the middle of labor, haha. I am planning a natural birth but open to the possibility that things don't always go as planned and although I would like to experience it without an epidural I am not forbidding myself to have one if I change my mind either. They also have infant care in the classes that I think will be helpful to my husband. I am pretty comfortable around newborns having spent 3+ years working in pediatrics and also time outside of work around babies but Frankie has always been a little apprehensive around babies and I think it will be nice for him to have some increased confidence and I'm sure I'm not beyond learning something new as well!! I think it will be nice for him to learn some tips prior to the baby coming so that he can feel a little more independent about being a new daddy.
Regardless of classes or not I am 100% sure my hubby will make a amazing father!! What a lucky little girl.
