Child Birth 101: Part 3 - BYU vs. Pepperdine

I know all of you wait eagerly every week to hear about my birthing class experiences... unfortunately, this week's class was trumped by the BYU v. Pepperdine game. So, that means no stories about Penny and the miserable couple that hates baby showers and Babies R Us. Sorry. Stayed tuned next week for notes from the last class.

This was my first week not working and it's been quite nice - BUSY - but nice. I've been going to doctor appointments, doing the baby's laundry, getting the last items at Bed Bath and Beyond and Babies R Us, organizing the baby's room, and Christmas shopping... I'm basically trying to finish everything up this week before Thanksgiving, just in case the little guy wants to come early.

Now, I'll be honest, I've also been enjoying this time off with reading, working out, watching daytime TV, getting a pedicure, and enjoying some time with my family. Ryan was in Boston for part of the week, so I headed up to my mom's and spent some time with her and Kenzie, as well as my dad and Loni.

Tuesday night was the game. BYU killed Pepperdine by 30 points or so. I forgot how small the Pepperdine basketball facility is - I felt like I was in my high school gym. The picture captures the entire length of the gym... no joke.

Loni, my dad, me, and Kenzie (doesn't she look good in BYU gear? She'll make a great Cougar!)

The rest of the time at home was spent with my mom, getting the remaining baby and nursery items. She was a huge help and I'm so glad she's nearby to assist. I'd be lost without her. This was my car as I headed back to West LA. The big box is the dresser and all around it are the last of the baby items. I think we're all set to go.

The countdown is really on. Just two and a half weeks till the due date. Ahhhh - can't believe it's here!!!
