It has been a few weeks since I posted anything last, but not too much has changed (with one exciting exception - see below). I have been trying to get myself organized at work so that all will be in order when I leave. I am working almost right until my due date (May 23, and my due date is June 1), so I am feeling a little concerned that I may ( Read more... )

Ian and I had our first childbirth class last night. The beginning of the night was spent introducing ourselves and learning about different resources available to us (mostly books). We then learned about the stages of labour and watched a video. I think the most interesting thing of the night was watching a woman give birth. For anyone who has ( Read more... )
