Oh that all sounds so yummy, lucky Mama.

Quoting Clarissa Waldron:“ Oh that all sounds so yummy, lucky Mama.”

We never usually do this so im always stuck with oatmeal and water because we dont brew decaf coffee in the office. But this morning, i was on cloud nine LOL....makes me not feel so crappy about having to come to work every morning

Is anyone taking a birthing class?? And where are you taking it? My hospital offers classes but they are so expensive....anyone have any ideas on a cheaper route?

Hey ladies! I havent been on since Friday morning...I feel like I'm speeding down a hill with no brakes, and I'm about to hit the bottom which happens to not be the bottom...nope...just a cliff...THEN I'll hit bottom.

I did read all the pages I missed since I was on last, sorry I didnt comment on any tho.  

Halloween was alright. Costume was funny, but I still havent gotten any pics back from friends yet, so still waiting on that.

Been so freaking exhausted that I dont know how the hell I'm surviving. I have absolutely no energy to do anything.

DH is finally closer to getting Ronan's room done, so I'm happy about that. It should be finished by this weekend so I can move everything in there and start setting everything up how I want it.

A couple that we are friends with are 2 months behind us with their first baby, and I've been informed that because of some situation they might be moving in with us fo who knows how long. He just got his US citizenship, and she is Canadian. His unemployment will be running out soon, so to get a job, it pretty much has to be in the states. She will be taking her 1 year off work starting in January...so I guess they figure why not move in with us...UGH! more to think about!

Tonight DH and I are starting our natural childbirth classes, so that is one thing I'm looking forward to.  

This morning after having to deal with a bunch of bull shit at work, I get the news that they are closing down the salon at the end of the month. I'm torn on how I feel about it. I mean I was already planning on being a SAHM anyway, but at the same time I've managed the salon since the day we opened, and now it feels like its the Titanic and I'm sinking along with it. So in a few hours I get to go spread the news to all the employees on whats going on. AND I feel ultra horrible cause one girl just put in her 2 weeks notice at her other job so that she could work full time at the salon!!!

Ok...well thats my news. I'm in a completely depressed mood now because of this morning...so I'm gonna got take a shower and try to go take a nap. Sorry about the vent session. Hopefully I'll be in a better mood to chat tomorrow...

They used to charge at our hospital, but this year they started offering them for free if you are patient. So not sure what to tell you. I can't imagine there wouldn't be some kind of government run program there?

Ive been trying to look online to see if other places offer the classes and how much but right now i cant seem to find anything. I want to do natural birth so its really important to me that i find a class. Im sure if the govt pays for it then they only offer it to low income households...and unfortuntaly you have to make next to nothing to qualifiy for that...*sigh*

Can you get unemployment now that they are shutting down, It would be nice to have the extra money while you are a SAHM?!

Quoting *ErikaLynn*:“ Is anyone taking a birthing class?? And where are you taking it? My hospital offers classes but they are so expensive....anyone have any ideas on a cheaper route?”

I took them with Jay because I was really scared and tbh I don't know if they worked all that well :/ Not for me anyway I know some people swear by them though!

Thats interesting....how did they not work for you? If you dont mind me asking?

Im taking prenatal classes. My third class is tonight actually. Ours are free here. They go thru the health clinic. So Im not sure what to suggest for you, Im sorry  

So my drs appointment got rescheduled till tomorrow morning cause my dr was at the hospital delivering a baby! Kind of exciting.

Tomorrow will be 2 years since my first due date with Kaydence... and starting her last week of being one   I cant believe it!

ohhhh that's right, I keep forgetting you're in canada. I told my mom "FOURTY FIVE DOLLARS for a single nursing bra!?" And my mom goes "Well if you don't wanna spend that then you may wanna reconsider nursing" ...I'll have to check out the prices and such tomorrow or something.

Quoting MN Melodies:“ (((hugs))) Welcome to mother nature, right? I'm so glad I bought these nursing bra's about 2 months ... [snip!] ... Personally, I'm in love with them right now. Why can't normal clothes and bra's be as comfortable as maternity? Seriously?  ”

Awesomeness

It's normal momma, heck I find myself in disbelief this time around too... For me, it becomes real once the baby is born... Don't beat yourself up momma, it's normal.

45$ for a nursing bra is equal to what? 3 cans of formula? I think it's worth the investment personally!
