49 DAYS TILL D DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok well its been about a month since I last updated and well I have to say that I dont have too much new info which Im pretty happy about. Like I said last time no news is good news right! But we have been up to some stuff so I will give a quick run down of whats been going on.

1.) Lisa started pre-natal yoga and is really enjoying it. The instructor is really nice and the other students have the same idea of what they want child birth to look like so Lisa is in a very supportive group of woman who are for the most part due around the same time as her and planning on delivering at family begginings just like Lisa. SO who knows she might no the girl next door when the time comes!

2.) We finished our "Childbirth Education Classes" last night and well they were ok. I learned a lot and all but I felt like it was more a primer on whats going to happen and less of a this is what you need to do to get through it. But its over now which means no more birthing videos!

3.) To supplement #2 a lady in our church has offered to basically teach us lamaze for free. She used to teach those type of classes for various hospitals and what not so for awhile at least during Sunday School Lisa and I will be learning breathing and coping techniques. So thanks again Tony Penn!!!!

4.) Lisa and I are going to meet interview a Dhoula (Lisa's yoga instructor) This friday. Hopefully all will go well and she will agree to work with us. I think its a perfect fit for so many reasons. Seeing as childbirth is such a personal and intimate experiance Lisa has really wanted to have a dhoula. But not just any Dhoula - one that was a close friend. I kept telling her that was unlikely but then we it came out that her instructor wasa one it just clicked. I mean Shes going to be spending 2 hours a week with this woman until she delivers. And this nice lady is going to be working with Lisa and helping her to move and relax in preparation. I mean what more could you ask for? Oh wait did I mention shes a licensed massage therapist! BOOO YEAH! SO Lord willing that meeting will go well on Friday and that will be one more item checked off the list.

5.) Finally we are gearing up for a host of Baby showers that will help to make the next month a "fun time to be pregnant" for Lisa. Right now she is getting really uncomfortable and just not very happy. I think that our bed is starting to look like a add for pillows and soon their may not be room for me anymore. I think we are up to 7 pillows of various shapes and sizes just for lisa in bed with us. SO yeah its getting a bit cramped. Hey at least they are soft right!

6.) I guess that just leaves Doctor / Midwife stuff. We are in the every two week stage now and so we have an appointment this week on thursday. More of the routine stuff and I doubt and pray that I will have anything interesting to say about it. Hopefully it will be another 15 min appt.

Well I think thats all for now except that Both Lisa and I are just dying to meet Kaiya. I tell you the days can not go by quick enough and we just want to get our little girl out and meet her! It really is crazy how you can Love something so much that you have never even seen or touched or heard. SO if you ever read this Kaiya know that your mom and dad were just dying for you to be ready and be born. We cant wait to meet you!

Cheers!
