Getting excited

Last night started our first of 6 week child birth classes... we only have 7 weeks till our due date lol, I sure hope we make it to the last class, it may just be the most important one! Last nights class was a basic introduction, learned a little breathing, and got to see pictures of how much my insides are cramped up because of Derek lol. She told us that we could start now by teaching him a routine that should carry on into when he's here, if you go to bed with noise and light he will not know what is day time and what is sleep time, because they can already see light and hear thru your belly, but if you have it dark and quite when you go to sleep then they will get use to that and know when it's time to go to bed the lights will be out. Well if that's the case then we've got this in the bag lol, Danny and I have always slept with it pitch black in our room and no noise, so maybe just maybe after the transition of Derek being here and it's time for him to sleep thru the night he may just do well lol. I am not expecting it for the first 3 months at least though lol.

Within the next few weeks we have a lot going on, this weekend is our first shower, I am so excited to open all the little stuff for Derek, and knowing that I really don't have that much longer till we get to use the products kinda freaks me out a little bit, but I am so excited and ready. The following week is 4th of July then after that we have our final shower given by my step-m0m-in-law lol.

I can't believe it's almost time to have our baby, a little nervous about the whole process but I am ok, I still stop and thank God at least once a day for this miracle he has given me, I love feeling him move and kick inside my belly, it's a feeling I really only dreamed about and thought that I would never feel but I am so thankful that I was given this chance to be a mom. I love watching Danny watch or feel my belly move his face lights up when he talks to him and Derek responds with a kick, I have a feeling Danny's already wrapped around his little finger, they say girls are the ones that wrap dad's but as long as we've been waiting I think Derek has both of us wrapped. I can't wait to see who he looks like, I hope he has Danny's lips, we both think he's already got a Reese nose lol, I can't wait to kiss his cheeks and his belly and hold him in my arms and tell him how much I love him, and see him look back at me, I am so ready to see Danny hold him, my mom told me the other day that the delivery room is going to be so emotional for all of us, and I am starting to believe it, I am already emotional thinking about this beautiful baby boy coming into this world.
