So yesterday we went to our first class at the hospital. It was a baby care class. We got to watch a bunch of old videos about not shaking your baby and making really loud shushing noises in their ear so they calm down. We also got to use a plastic baby doll and practice giving it a bath, changing it's diaper, swaddling it and holding it. Then we went to a friend's house and practiced holding her 5 week old. We each managed to get her to fall back to sleep, so we were feeling pretty sure we should be able to do it with our own! Sophie went to visit too. She didn't really pay any attention to the baby, but that was because karma was playing a nasty little trick on her. Our friends had company and those people had a little boy dog named Marley. Marley thought Sophie was very cool and spent the entire time either trying to hump her or bite her. She was so exhausted by the time we left! She's still pretty mellow today!
On the baby front, I felt like I was really big by the end of the day yesterday. Then when I got up this morning, my belly button was even more poked out...almost half way out! I really look pregnant these days. No hiding it. I'm 6 months on Mon. so I guess that pretty much explains it. I've got less than 100 days to go! That's amazing. Dave and I are both ready to meet Connor, but I'd like him to be healthy so I want to wait until he's ready.

Those baby classes are pretty lame. They make you feel really smart until you have your baby and something "fun" happens like colic or projectile vomitting or endless hiccups or a wicked diaper rash. Experience does make a difference. You'll be GREAT parents!
(PS Take a picture of your belly button next to the the little red pop-out thing for your Thanksgiving Turkey!)
Hi Sarah!!! Room looks great! I remember crazy dreams. Wait until you have the one where the baby actually comes out talking to you. It's a little weird! You look great!!!! Take care. Hugs and kisses!!
