It's been a log time since I "blogged" at all. I posted a lot(ish) on my livejournal in it's hay-day, but I haven't posted a real post on there in ages. Josh has a vox, so I thought I'd get one too. And I thought that I should be somewhat documenting my life and the life of my future child.
I have a child living and growing inside my tummy. It is so strange and a little overwhelming. I feel like I know nothing about parenting or babies. I haven't even babysat a kid since I was like 17. I really can't remember the last time I even held a baby, and now I'm going to have one of my own. I know that I'll be fine, and that it'll come naturally or something, but sometimes it's hard to believe. At least I have until September; I have a whole hot summer to prepare. I have been given some advice, and a friend at work who has a 1 1/2 year old reccomended a book, Baby Wise. From what she described, it seemed like that kind of parent that I want to be. So I went to Barnes and Noble last night bought it, and a piece of cheesecake (hehe) and read a little in the cafe. I really like it so far, and it claims that your baby will be sleeping through the night in no time. I left the book at home, but I think I'll post some excerpts from there as I learn things, or maybe the summary that they give at the end of the chapter.
Josh and I are also taking some parenting classes at the CPC, the crisis pregnancy center associated with our church. We're not in total crisis mode (yet ;-) ) but I had a free ultra sound there and they thought we'd like the classes. Today is our first one, during my lunch break. We'll see how we like it. We really do have a lot to learn, so I hope the classes will be beneficial to us and our baby.
