I can't believe I'm still posting these side views....keep in mind I only pick the best shots where I look least like a torpedo. My super cute babydaddy.

My attempt at making myself look "smaller" by holding my 16 lb cat.
Of course Cotty is acting all bothered when he's the one that asked to be featured in the blog this week.

We took our first of three Birthing Classes at the hospital and it was much better than we thought it would be. Our instructor is a straight-shootin' grandma type who has attended over 1,000 births so the lady knows what she's talking about.
We (the pregnant ladies) practiced focusing on breathing through the pain of being pinched by our loving birth partners. I think the dudes secretly liked this part. She also gave us good tips on how our partners can help relax us through the entire birthing process via massage, verbal and physical support, and overall doing whatever the heck we want. (The last part is my interpretation.)
And it wouldn't be a real birthing class unless there was a video of half (or sometimes fully) naked women giving birth in all it's ooey glory. Yay, can't wait!

Belly button!

Do these babies make my butt look big?

New fave item: This body pillow a.k.a. Valentino could very well have saved my life. Of course it's like having a third person in the bed with you but G is learning to accept it. :)

New fave pastime: G is very excited about the babies listening to great classical pieces while still in the womb. Here, they're listening to Mozart, Symphony No. 29. I think they're into it.

We had a nice Valentine's Day (the last one as just the two of us) complete with flowers, red velvet cupcakes and a steak dinner made especially by G. It's probably the last quiet Valentine's Day we'll have in a loooong time. :)
