only five weeks!!!! agh!!!!

Yesterday was five weeks and counting. Agh! I can't believe it and I don't think I'm ready!!! I have started washing stuff. I washed the sheets and the little bit of bedding that we have this past weekend. I'll probably start washing clothes this weekend.

We have finished our labor classes... I didn't think we were going to make it through last week. We had our first of three actual labor classes on Monday the 5th, the second on Monday the 12th, then Thursday the 15th we had the newborn care class, then on Saturday the 17th we had our feeding class, and finally on Monday the 19th we had our final labor class. I think our brains are overloaded!! A neighbor I had actually never met until this past Saturday was extremely kind and gave us three of the "What to Expect" books, so now we are trying to cram in!

She is quite the mover. Not so many punches/kicks, but definitely squirming all over the place. Eric likes to feel her move right when I lay down to sleep. This seems to be her most active time during the hours he is around. Her other time is right before lunch. But I can't run to New Jersey to let him feel. I enjoy their bonding time. Makes me feel that he is really a part of this and gets to experience some of what I do.
