1st "New Mom's" class

Well, I guess a few things have happened since my last post. We had our first baby/ new mom's class yesterday!! It was fun, we spent the first hour introducing ourselves and talking about our experiences during pregnancy and labor. There are about 15 ladies in the group, two of them were in our prenatal class as well so I sat with them. It was very interesting to see and compare (I know your not suppose to but I think everyone does) babies and mom's. The youngest baby was only six weeks old and the oldest was 5 months. One Mom had a baby with colic (that of course cried almost the entire time we were there ~ poor mom!!) and there were quite a few babies that had acid reflux and were even on medicine to help! After we all introduced ourselves we went into groups and talked about different topics, my groups topic was "What are you doing for yourself?". Jacob had a great time and I think was amazed that there were other little people out there, some even smaller then him!!! He just kept staring at all the babies and even tried to make conversation with the 7 week old beside us! he he I had a good time and am actually looking forward to next week, I also think that this time away from home gives Dad his alone time as well (something I'm sure he misses). Unfortunately the nurse teaching the class is the same nurse that came to our house the day after I got home from the hospital and I thought was an idiot! But I'm not at the class to talk to the nurse, I'm there to meet the Moms!


Also on the weekend we went over to the in laws for a soak in the hot tub, which Jacob seems to really enjoy! He doesn't seem to care too much for bath time but he has no problem soaking in the hot tub!? Well the next day we get a knock on our door asking for me, it was one of our neighbors that we have never met yet, he had my car insurance papers!?!? He had found them behind his house in the back alley and thought he should return them!! We were really confused!? How did my insurance papers jump out of my car and get in his back alley!? So hubby went to go look in the car and guess what? It had been broke into!! :o I'm actually thinking that we forgot to lock the doors cause there was no damage, no broken windows or locks and no damage inside the car except that they took my little change holder thingy in the consul and riped my map holder off the visor (which is where I also kept my insurance papers/ pink card). I felt so violated but thankful that they didn't damage the car! It's kinda funny cause usually I leave my drivers licence, bank card and even sometimes my Visa in the consul but have recently purchased a card holder that I now keep in the diaper bag. And I had just cleaned the car of any spare change and only left a few quarters in there! I'm a little pissed that they took my sunglasses but I never paid for them anyway, they were a gift. But I'm so grateful that they never touched the baby car seat base or did any damage to the car! Although now I want to put up security cameras more then I have ever wanted too before!!

Other then that, I am recovering well from the surgery ~ probably about 90%. I've been trying to go for more walks now that I am feeling better but if I over do it I get a little bit of pain still. We have started to do the siding on the garage and now have the back finished and new sheds built. We expect to finish the rest of the garage on Sept long weekend. I found out that my boss fired the guy that was too replace me but I haven't heard the whole story yet and I'm not sure what happened!? And I think that is about all ~ in a nut shell, can't think of any other news so I guess I should get going before Jacob calls for me!!

I'm soo glad your going to a group. That's something I regret, I was so lonely, I should have gone. There's groups for 2 year olds? Maybe I should be looking it up?

I too got my sun glasses stollen from the van when we left it unlocked one night. They where worth like 15 bucks! They where pink! with a little sparkly flower in the bottom corner! What kind of guy stupid kid stole them. Grrrrr. They also got about 5 bucks and took our battery charger for the camera! Grrrrr made me so mad! Stupid kids.

Well at least you got your papers back.

Take care! Oh I'm now finally washing the baby cloths for you. Maybe I'll give you a call Sun?
