The very-soon-to-be parents

We have learned so much in the last week.......we had a "Breastfeeding for Success" class last Monday, our 2nd week of Chilbirth Preparation on Thursday and tonight we just got back from Infant Safety & CPR class...and yes, Papa Charles came to all the classes with me :) Sure you can read about all these things in books and magazines but it's nice to hear it from someone who's been through it and been doing it for a long time. I was really getting nervous about labor but after the last Childbirth Ed class, I'm not AS scared because I know what to expect and learned some ways to cope with the labor pains (contractions). People say once you're in labor, all of that is forgotten but hey, I'll bring my birth ball anyway......it's fun to sit on that thing!! Plus squatting comes natural to me, I'm Cambodian and we like to squat! Tonight we learned how to perform Infant CPR and we practiced on a baby doll many, many times.....that was pretty neat. I hope we would never have to really do it but if we ever need to, we are prepared!!
I'm really looking forward to the end of this week.......it's my last week of work, YAY! As much of a workaholic I am.....I can't deny the fact that I need this time off to prepare for Baby Siri's arrival. Our house is completely filled with boxes and gift bags galore filled with a whole bunch of baby things. I have yet to wash anything and put her nursery together. Papa Chuk has just finished the crown molding and has put together all the big furniture pieces so now I can start on the decorating...the fun part :)
A couple weeks ago we took some Maternity Photos.....to capture the beauty of pregnancy. Here is one of the photos for you to see. The others are quite intimate & personal to post on this blog that ANYONE can see!
