Getting Close!

It's been way too long since we've posted, but to tell the truth, pregnancy is boring! Well, this is Todd writing here, so maybe it's more exciting for Jenevra.

Zola's only about a month away. She's head down and healthy as far as we can tell. Jenevra's feeling well and still swimming a few times a week. She just started feeling small practice contractions. We both have a feeling that Zola will come a little earlier than the March 15 due date based on the uncertainty of the conception date and the fairly large size of the baby.

We're pretty sure we've decided on a middle name finally, but I won't say it yet as Jenevra's not here and I want to make sure we're 100%.

The cats are preparing me for Zola's arrival. A few minutes ago, Climate (our orange cat), jumped from the chair to the computer desk, colliding mid-air with me carrying cereal, knocking the whole bowl of cereal/milk to the floor. I can imagine cleanups like this will be a common occurrence from babydom to toddlerhood.

We're continuing to listen to a bunch of pregnancy and newborn podcasts on our commute. Also, we're 3/4 of the way through a birth class, start a hypnobirthing class tomorrow, and have a one-day breastfeeding class. Do we get a college degree for this? Of course, taking classes can't compare to the experience of actually giving birth, which unfortunately I (Todd) will never experience.

I promise way more pics/videos will be posted here once Zola is born and things are more exciting!

  2. I'm very excited for you two and so glad you found a hypnobirthing class in town. Todd...you will have a totally different experience, yes, but one that you will remember just as vividly as Jenevra. And as for those spills and messes....um....they don't end at toddlerhood! :-)

  3. I'd second the remark about spills and messes. And while I suspect Jenevra is finding every minute exciting, even in pregnancy, I believe you will find every minute of the actual birth experience totally fascinating. Watching the woman you love give birth to a child who is part you and part her will reinforce all aspects of your love and dedication to each other, as well as to your new family member. Just watching you talk about it brings back the magic and the happy memories.
