7 weeks left!

We are nearing the end of this pregnancy and the excitement is building.  I feel sooo much better emotionally than what I had been feeling a few months ago.  I'm back to cooking and cleaning again and I am much more patient with my little 2 year old Sunshine.  Life is going pretty great right now.  Time to switch things up, right? 

Joe and I have been attending our Hypnobirthing class for the past 3 weeks.  We have one more session and I'm kind of sad about it.  It has been a great bonding experience for us.  He has been supportive in helping me practice the different relaxation techniques and is totally on board with it all, even though some of it may seem a bit cheesy.  This class has made us complete believers in painless natural birth.  Any woman is capable of having a painless natural birth, she just needs the right tools to get her there. 

The fears and anxieties I have been feelings are pretty much gone.  I feel confident and empowered that things will go how I want them to this time around.  Thanks to the Hypnobirthing class, I am going to have an awesome birth!  I can't wait to blog about the entire experience on here.

I have been busy getting things ready for baby girl.  Her room was cleared out last week.  Since moving into our home it had become a "catch all" room.  Now, it just has a crib and a rocking chair.  I'm excited to decorate it over the next few weeks and get a dresser and a few other things in there.

Sunshine graduated from a toddler bed to a twin size bed.  She transitioned well and loves her new bed.  She is so excited to be a big sister.  She talks about her baby sister every day and asks when she will be here.  She can't wait and neither can we!
