Breastfeeding 101

From what I learned at breastfeeding class tonight, there are three major rules:
Rule #1 TRY not to get frustrated
Rule #2 Babies need to eat...a lot
Rule #3 Husbands should easily "give in" when their wives ask for something while they're trying to figure the whole feeding thing out. A back scratch, a diaper change, a foot rub, a glass of red wine or a bowl of chocolate ice cream isn't too much to ask for.



Approaching the 35 week mark fast and feelin' it! I'm noticing that my hips & back are aching more and I'm already starting to get swollen legs. No complaining here though - because I've been grateful to feel as well as I have up to this point. I'm going to continue getting my rest and relaxation because I know soon enough the rest of my life will change forever!
Tomorrow is Friday! I'm so happy for the weekend to be near. Bill will be in town - and I think I've decided to stay put also. Was thinking about heading to Anna's cabin but I think I'm too lazy for too much fun about now! Friday night may do some volunteering at FMSC with Wonger, Saturday will meet Zach Moore (Jimmy & Aimee's new baby boy) and Sunday Bill and I will spend some time with Mom & Dad Sherck helping them load a trailer before they head to Atlanta to see Bill, Laura, Rachel and Michael. Bill is attending "New Dads" class on Saturday morning which, if you can imagine - he's THRILLED about. Maybe he'll learn how to change a diaper.
