Reality Check




Okay, so we went for our 6 month visit today. We had the so-called dreadful sugar test. Honestly, I loved it...I had a Fruit Punch flavor. It only took a minute to drink and didn't taste bad at all. I gained 4 pounds last month and LeeAnn said that Riley is now about 2 pounds!

We talked about pediatricians and other fun stuff. We started talking about what all is going to happen at the hospital...I'm so excited! We have to go back in 3 weeks and from that point we start going every 2 weeks. So....reality is sinking in that we don't have that much time left for just the two of us. We will soon have another person to take care of. It's frightening but exciting all at the same time.I cried most of the way to work after the visit. I know, what a wimp. It's weird. I miss and love him so much and he isn't even here yet. I'm even dreaming about him and finally the other night saw him in my dream. We will see if he actually looks like what I saw.


LeeAnn and I talked about me not having an epidural. So, she said she would request a jacuzzi room at the hospital in case I wanted to use it. I have a very open mind that I may not be able to do it without anything. I'm sure going to try my best! We are starting birthing classes on October 20th for 4 weeks on Monday nights. I'll let you know how we do.


Jeremy is already a "pro" at breathing techniques...so he thinks. If I could express how he does it in words, I would certainly try. It is the funniest thing ever, but I think it is cute. I know he will keep the excitement alive throughout the entire adventure. We also pre-registered at the hospital today. We go Friday for some more 3-D pics...I will post them as soon as I can!
