Done Breathing… For the time being at least

Week 32 | I should probably start with a public announcement… Baby Smith’s name will be… < > Emily Grace!

Jennifer and I finished the first part of our Preparing for Childbirth class last night. Next week is the official last class (on Valentine’s Day I should add) for newborn care. I think it’s kind of funny that our last class is on the last Valentine’s Day Jennifer and I will have as a childless couple but oh well. J I’ve learned interesting new words like “Perineum”, “Effacement”, “Vernix” and of course “Apgar score”. Yes, I know what all of those mean!

Jen’s feeling pretty good. Emily is kicking like crazy and often gives mom a kick to the ribs or bladder which in turn makes mommy a little uncomfortable. Emily is so strong; you can easily see her kicking and moving around by just looking at Jen’s belly. It’s truly frightening.

Jen’s baby shower is this weekend and she remains excited to see everyone. I remain excited for the “Man Shower” which is basically a bunch of guys BBQ’ing, smoking cigars, drinking beer and playing poker. It should be a fun weekend!
