Alan and I went to a three hour childbirth
refresher class last night. A few important takeaways:

1) High, tight, belly pains and Braxton-Hicks
= false labor; lower back pain and low-belly cramps = real
labor. Good to remember.

2) When I’m in
labor and start forgetting what I’m doing (Mom, remember that?
You: “What are we doing in this room?” Me: *shrug* “No idea.”)
When I get to that point, it’s time to get to the hospital
ASAP!

3) Lex did great with our
babysitter (Jan) right up until she mentioned the “b” word
(bedtime) then he had a complete meltdown. She said they had a
great time playing, reading, etc. and then he cried really hard
for an hour as she tried to get him in bed. She’s good though
and got him to sleep in his bed.

So now
we are refreshed and continue to wait :)
