Day in the classroom & never ending work.

Today Brian and I went to our prenatel class and we did get some answers on some things. There was a nice big group of people there and the class I think helped me be at ease a little more. I'm still a little nervous on some parts for the big day but for the most part, I feel so much more prepared.

I think my favorite part of the class is when the instructor asked everyone to share what they are most nervous about, before the big day. When each person (including the hubby's) shared thier fears or concerns, then the instructor would talk about each situation. It made me feel so much better that I wasn't alone in what I was feeling and now my nervousness has gone down a lot more. Brian said he is nervous for me while he needs to be gone for a week with work. He is asking a few lady's at work that I know well, to keep checking in with me while he's gone.

The only thing I am more nervous on is if I want the Epideral. The instructor was showing us the procedure with the equipment used and just showed us the needle's and what steps are done. I about died. I for one can not stand the sight of needles and they make me cringe. I never have. I don't even like my blood taken. Yes, I know, I'm a big baby. But, when I saw that epideral needle, I think I choked a little. Brian asked if I still wanted to do the Epideral and I said, we will have to see how I feel at the time. I probably won't care if I need to be stuck with a 3 inch needle three or four times. "Just give me the drugs!!!" Ha Ha!

After the class was over, we all went on a tour of the floor we would be on and it seems very nice. Each birthing room is huge and has a jacuzzi tub for mom. Brian loved the big fluffy recliner chair for him. The hospital we will be at is call Mountain View Hospital. It looks like each room has a nice view of the hills, hence the name. http://www.mountainviewhospital.org/

Besides the class today. I had another follow up appointment with my doctor and she said everything is going great. Baby is in a good position and her hearbeat is at 150. So she has a perfect heartbeat and I will have another follow up in 2 weeks. Then after that next appointment, I have to go every week.

Starting Friday, my general manager of the hotel left for the weekend and monday to fly out of state for vacation. Before she left, she said that I am in charge for time she is gone. Oh god! This weekend was going to be so busy and on friday I worked from 7am-6pm and three of those hours were not paid because of overtime is not available. I could have certainly left at 3pm to make it only an 8 hour day, but I'm too much of a workaholic and I love everyone I work with so I couldn't leave knowing some things could be done during the time I was there. After I finally pulled myself away from the hotel on friday, I had to get home change and then Brian and I met some friends at Johnny Carinos for supper. When we got to the restaurant, I realized "hmmm, I haven't had lunch today. Only breakfast!" Uh oh. So, Brian and I did the special of "two can dine for $19.99." Which included unlimited soup, salad, and bread. Oooooh, my. I had never ate so fast! I ate two salad's and kept the bread coming until my entree' and then dessert. Wow, was baby and I ready for bed after that. So I finally get home on friday by 9:30pm and Brian went out to a movie with the guys. They wanted me to come with to see "The Watchmen." Um ya, that wasn't happening. I went straight home and crashed! I have never slept so well. When saturday morning came, I didn't want to get out of bed. Our class started at 9am and I still had to get to the hotel in the morning to check on things. I could have just called and asked how things were going and if they needed me to come in, but I had to get payroll out for this week. I also had to check on my group that was checked in and more to arrive today. Ugh. After the class today, I came home and slept for three hours. What a long weekend already.
