Baby Preparation!

Our Pregnant Bellies

Alright, time to catch up on the missed blogs. This last month has brought a lot of craziness, from moving into our new house, having a baby and finishing up the semester.

Before the baby, Duke and I went to a series of birthing classes (missing the last one), which turned out to be fun and educational. The best night was learning all the different comfy positions and learning how to breathe. This night Duke decided to put on the empathy belly, which didn't last long. He definitely had empathy. There is a harness which is strapped on tight around your lungs, making it feel like there is a baby in your lung and then tight down on your bladder. Then they add weights and more items under the harness that makes it even more uncomfortable. Duke really acted pregnant and once he sat down needed to go to the bathroom. It was pretty funny and he looked pretty miserable.



We also were able to move in slowly the week that Brinley came, putting up the crib and getting the kitchen mostly moved in. On Saturday Duke was able to move in the big stuff while I was in the hospital.
