Yes. This weekend was Lamaze class. It also happened to be the nicest weekend yet this Spring so being in class from 9-3 each day was really difficult. All in all the class was helpful. I think I was most happy to learn about the numerous drug options... I haven't made a decision one way or the other... I am going to play it by ear for now. If I want drugs... they are there and I know which ones I would prefer to try.
I was a bit worried Sunday that I might be going into labor. I am not sure if it was all the practicing, but I was definitely having more "braxton hicks" than ever. For a good 3 hours they were happening pretty frequently - at least every 15-20 minutes. Then I had a very upset stomach... another thing they tell you to watch for - Flu like symptoms. But all is well. I can hardly believe we are almost there. This last month is going to go so quickly!
This week is my mother-in-law's B-day - Happy B-day Cindy! And it is also my dad's B-day. Happy Birthday Daddy-O!!! Wish I could head to Florida with you and the fam this weekend... a nice get a way - I would probably end up in the hospital with heat exhaustion! Seriously am glad the pregnancy is not going to carry on through the summer... I have no idea how people have August babies. I am seriously dying of heat all the time these days!

I wish I would have done the 2 day class. We did the 6 week one every Monday. By the 2nd week I had pretty much made up my mind that I wanted drugs :) Our lamaze lady was VERY pre-natural birth and did not even give us much discussion as far as drug options. I am glad that yours was more enlightening!
Keep us posted! I am glad to hear that you are still feeling good! I am so excited for you :)
When you are having lots of Braxton Hicks, increase your water in-take. I had them all through my pregnancy and it usually happened when I wasn't drinking enough fluids.
I am so happy that things are going so well for you!!
Okay, now that someone else has commented, I can admit to stalking too:)
I've had two September babies and I can attest...it's not fun!!
Good choice with the play it be ear. That's what I did both times, and I ended up taking the epidurral both times. But it ended up getting shut off both times too because I have a blood pressure reaction to it.
Here's my thoughts on the whole thing: it does hurt, but it's only one day, and afterwards, you don't even think about it. Everyone kept telling me that I wouldn't remember it, and I didn't beleive them, but they were right!
Good luck and Congrats!!!
