One Proud Momma!

Today was my first day of having half days. Woke up at 5:15am like usually. Got to school around 7:15am. Came home from school at 10:15am. Such an easy school day! So much less stress than going to school full time. 

This afternoon I also had my doctors appointment. Doctor says that both Jace and I are doing great. She also thinks that my labor process will be easy and without complications. Thank goodness!! I can tell though that I only have a few weeks left though because he has already started to drop. This causes more back pain and hip discomfort. But, I would go through anything for my baby boy. He may not have been planned but he is a gift from God. I already love Jace with all my heart. I feel more and more like excited each day. Plus, watching Bryce be so excited and already protective of the baby is great! 

At the birthing class tonight we were taught about contractions and relaxation techniques. I learned that I have Braxton Hicks much more often than I realized and that Bryce is going to do great helping me throughout the delivery. We had to do breathing exercises with ice in our hands to represent the discomfort and pain from the contractions. (Not fun at all! My hands hurt so bad from holding the ice!) Our teacher had the dad's coach us and do the breathing exercises with us. Bryce did amazing! He was hands on and focused. He also kept making me laugh which will help me forget about being nervous for the whole labor process. Bryce really proved today that he is going to be the best guy ever! Not just to me but for Jace as well. Jace will be one lucky kid with Bryce as his daddy. =)
