bundle of...?

My hubby and I are expecting a baby girl in the fall!  So along with packing up our apartment in preparation to move, we're trying to get ready (can you really prepare for parenthood though?! ) for our bundle of joy.  Tonight we have our second childbirth class, for which we had to do some homework.  I'm sure you can guess what that entailed...

So after watching a woman cry and scream through her 19-hour labor, I proceeded to cry and scream in my bed at the thought of having to birth this baby in 9 weeks.  A whooooole slew of emotions came flooding over me, including (but not limited to): do I really have to go through with this? Ok seriously...how do I get out of this?  What the hell was I thinking?!  Luckily, my uber-supportive husband reminded me of all the wonderful reasons we are in this situation and I think the quote below sums it up perfectly...

Even though labor and delivery may be a difficult part of the process (ok, ok...the most challenging thing I'll ever do in my entire life), I cannot wait to meet and love my baby girl :)


T - 3 hours until childbirth class...let's hope I don't cry tonight.  Seriously.

  1. I hope you didn't cry! I can imagine how scary it must be though, Sam :( You will do amazing though and just keep thinking that your baby girl is counting on you!! Any ideas for names yet?
