Parenthood

Dear Ian,

Today your dad and I went to the hospital where you'll be born and took a baby and parenting class.

We had a great instructor, watched some intense videos and learned a lot.

The classroom was really easy to find thankfully. Hospitals tend to scare me so it was nice not to be overwhelmed.

It was a pretty big class. Unfortunately we didn't make any new friends, BUT they did tell us about a mommy support group and I really want to check it out after you're here.

As a class we practiced relaxing and your dad gave me a great massage. For lunch we ate at Wendy's and it was so good!

Then when we came back we had a tour of labor and delivery, the nursery and a post baby room. I did feel a little overwhelmed thinking about what everything will be like...but I know it'll all be OK.

We learned about breastfeeding and bathing. It's so weird to think you'll be here soon. I can't believe it and I really don't know how different it's going to be.

The first video we watched was 10 Things I Wish People Had Told Me. Number 1 was being prepared to love something more than you've ever loved anything... And what will that be like?

Love you son of mine! 9 weeks and 2 days until you're here.
