First joys of being a Mommy!

So last Friday was my first birthing class. We were late, but we made it. I loved it. I just felt really connected to Alex. We watched a video about women using medication while delivering. It was interesting. We also went through the stages of labor and dilation. We did a relaxing exercise and I used the pregnancy ball, which is one of the things I plan to use as part of my relaxing and pain management. Next week we are planning on watching a med free birth, which I'm totally excited about watching. Being as natural as possible with little to no interventions is my ideal plan. I know things can happen, but i don't want anything being introduced when there is no medical reason not to.

It has been so hard trying to find bedding. I thought it would be as easy as finding her nursery furniture, but it hasn't. The moment I saw the Savannah collection by Munire, I knew it was the one. I tried looking at other cribs and furniture. I went to numerous stores, but nothing. It was the one. Haha, I guess it could be comparable to finding that one perfect wedding dress!! ( we'll see in just a couple of months). Bedding on the other hand, not so easy. I saw a few things that I liked at Baby&Me, but some of them were outrageously priced like the Nava's Pink Sandcastle which is $1600. I about lost it.  haha Glenna Jean has been a contender. I knew I didn't want those huge flower, or animal prints. I wanted something girly, but pretty and  sorta of elegant. I think I am finalizing on the Paisley Nursery set from PBK (Pottery Barn Kids) I really do love it. The colors are very bright and vibrant. I love the hint of paisley on the bumper and the pink dot sheets. The quilt is perfect and not over whelming. I'm getting her name monogrammed in the sham. Now I just need to find a mobile to go with it.
There were also paper lanterns and paper peonies mounted on the ceiling. I stole that idea.

Thursday is my first day with the La Leche League, and I'm totally excited. I breastfeeding support group. I can't wait to meet the other ladies.

You know, I always wanted to be a mom, but its so scary, nerve wrecking, and exciting all at once. I can't wait to meet my little princess. I love her so much already. I'm ready to give up all the other stuff just for her. She recently found my ribs and now she's going to town on them.

That's all for now.
