The Husband and I went to an OB tour and a breastfeeding class this week. Let me warn you now, you will witness some unattractive boobs in a breastfeeding class. These are instructional video boobs, not porn video boobs. While some of them weren't bad at all, once you see a woman hooked up to a double breast pump, you just don't look at her chest quite the same. Besides that (and a rude awakening to the world of what a dirty diaper looks like), it was a pretty good experience...I learned a lot and now I'm not afraid of the concept. Basically, I watch way too much 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom and NONE of them breastfeed and claim its too hard or it hurts too much. I do have a fabulous friend who breastfeeds though, and she's already been giving me advice. So after the class, I know that I CAN do it, WITHOUT PAIN, and I will be saving a TON. Now, if I can stick to that and cloth diapering we'll be good.

| Like really, there's no more room for skin... |
This week for Chloe:
- 3.75 pounds and up to 19 inches long head to toe. Sheesh.
- She practicing all of her "on the outside" movements (kicking, sucking her thumb, swallowing, breathing, etc...)
- Her digestive system is all ready to go
- She is supposed to be sleeping more like a baby and resting up for the big day. Could have fooled me, lol
- She has fingernails, toenails, and hair
Getting bigger and the nasty Atlanta heat has been making me more and more tired as the days wear on. Resting is becoming problematic as well. I can't lounge on the couch for too long without Chloe deciding its time for her to move around nonstop. I can sleep just fine, and maybe I could rest in the room with my body pillow, but then I'd be asleep all the dern time.I dunno if she's getting tired of her current living conditions or if this is just normal, but I'm hoping she's waits in there at least until after the National Poetry Slam in 3 weeks.
Moving on Monday (finally!) ^_^.
