good news! david and i are both feeling at least 65% better! i also finished my antibiotics for my sinus infection today! YAY!

yesterday, we had a hospital tour where we will be delivering at. we couldn't believe how much fun it was. the delivery/labor rooms are gorgeous. we also learned a lot of info about our hospital and their policies.. we were rather surprised (and relieved) how positive our hospital is.. we also got to see the postpartum rooms.. i was expecting something horrible and generic looking but they were seriously just as gorgeous (not as large) as the delivery rooms.

then today we went to our first child birth class (at a different hospital)..

check out the goodie bag we got.. more like a 'hey lets advertise the hell out of birthing!' bag. haha. still fun either way!

it's a three class course (4hours per class).. it was interesting.. today we watched "the video".. lolll. i did pretty well until they showed the placenta part ::shivers::.. as always, david was fascinated. he is really into this birthing/parenting stuff.. afterwards, we went to barnesandnoble to look for a prenatal yoga book/dvd that has exercises to help with labor.. we couldn't find what we were looking for (thank goodness for the internet but david wanted me to start the exercises tomorrow) YET, somehow we ended up with two other books. a parenting book, that i just had to have and another bradley birthing book, that david insisted getting (he is big into the bradley method)..

we're just a little obsessed! lol.. but we love being informed and somewhat prepared.

i still want to get this beautiful coffee table book about babies and development (the photography is simply stunning!) and the itsy bitsy yoga book for babies lol. i will never have enough books.. ever.

back to the birthing class.. next week we get to tour a different hospital for our birthing class. david and i are excited to see how a different hospital compares with the one we picked.. we also decided to sign up for another birthing class.. in fact we have TONS of classes to go to in the next few months.. i had to make a digital calendar to put on our computer to remind us of all that we have to do in the next two months.. i also have to find some time to sell my ebay stuff and finish nesting/sewing for ashton. not to mention the holidays.. where i plan on making my own christmas cards (have yet to design) and christmas gifts to give out to family! whew..

i better not get sick again! there is just too much to do! ::stomps feet::

last week sometime we ended up at babiesrus to get a cheap umbrella stroller for us to throw around and have just in case (we travel so much that it's nice to have something that is easy to drag around an airport etc).. we love our bugaboo and plan on using it the most but it's still nice to have a second option available.. david is mostly concerned about going to disney world/six flags and leaving our bugaboo alone, unattended, while riding rides together.. HAHA..we got the maclaren volo.. for $100 it's a great stroller (we had a $20 off coupon so really it only cost $80. SCORE!).

our new spare stroller.. i love it! sturdy and well made. it folds up nicely and easily! i also love the mesh backing.. it's hot here in the summer!

i felt well enough to fool around with our camera tonight.. can you tell? i am working on using my flash (i must have mentioned how much i loved my flash a million times tonight).. i can't wait to be able to afford some extra gear for my photography addiction.. so much i want.. so much i need and oh so "poor" we are.. babies are expensive and it's worth the cost that's for sure!

oh yeah. david felt better enough to finish carving his pumpkin the day after halloween! better late than never i suppose.
