Childbirth, Mardi Gras, and Laminate Floors

This past weekend was very busy for us. Saturday we went to our childbirth preparation class from 9:00-3:00. It was a long class, but it was very imformative. We watched several videos. The first video showed 3 women and their childbirth experiences. Mommy A chose no meds, Mommy B chose narcotics, but no epidural, and Mommy C chose the epidural. Mommy C seemed to be screaming less than the others, so that's my choice. Glo, the nurse who taught the class had the husbands rate their wives pain tolerance from a 1-10. 1 being very high to 10 being basically a wimp. Justin said I was a 7 or 8, but I think I am really a 10. A lot of people asked me why we needed to go to a childbirth class, but I am glad we went. We feel more prepared and it makes the day seem that much closer. My due date is exactly 6 weeks from today.

After the class we worked on projects in the house and then went to a Mardi Gras get together at Jessica's house. Stacy brought a king cake and Johnny's pizza from Louisiana for us to enjoy. Jessica made some yummy gumbo. I played Nerts or Nerks or whatever for the first time without a partner.
My table was all girls and we were all sweet to each other except for the time I slapped Mandy's hand away, but I did apologize. Meg threw out the occasional "You Jerk !!!" which she always followed up with " I am just kidding." It was nothing compared to the insults coming from the other table. Meg and Justin were the champions of the game. It was so much fun that Justin and I went back for seconds on pizza and gumbo after church on Sunday. Justin got the baby, so I guess we will be throwing a Mardi Gras party at our home next year. Save the date.

Our laminate floor is finally down. Justin put down the last piece last night and we are having someone come to put down the foot molding or whatever it is called. Everything is coming together. We still have a lot of cleaning to do. Our furniture is scattered all over the house and garage. It will be nice to be able to park in the garage again soon. Don't expect a post for us for a while because we will be very busy the rest of the week. We are having company this weekend, Amber, Cleve, and Eli. Then next weekend Kristin and Bradley Parker and Sarah Harris Moss are coming to visit. I can't wait to see them all!!
