Last weekend we went to Kansas, where Jeanne and Cathi threw us a baby shower. We had a great time! Baby Smith got a lot of great gifts that he/she will love. We enjoyed celebrating with everyone and we are so glad that everyone who made it was able to. Those of you who couldn't make it, you were missed. If you click on the link below you can see a short slide show of some pictures from the shower...enjoy!

Monday night Jordan and I went to our first Bradley Method baby class. The premiss of the class is father centered coaching, which means the purpose of the class is to help teach dad ways to help mom be as relaxed and comfortable as possible. Jordan was a little nervous about the class at first, but I think after he saw that the other dads were nervous as well, he felt a lot more comfortable.
The class is 8-10 weeks long and ends the first week in October (talk about cutting it close). In the first class we talked about relaxation techniques, nutrition and a general overview of the history of The Bradley Method. We are very excited and I think we are both feeling a lot more comfortable about having a natural home birth now that we are learning a little bit more about what to expect (lets face it, this is going to be no easy task!!). As our instructor said, knowledge really is power!
Other than that, my belly feels like it is growing at an exponential rate! Although, it's still nice to hear people tell me that I don't look big enough to be 28 weeks along, I don't feel that way! My belly feels like it weighs a ton and it needs to be held up and in by something tight, and my belly button is super sensitive, but it's all totally worth it! We love you so much and we haven't even met you yet!!!!
