Waiting

I have found something that relieves my pregnant days- SWIMMING POOLS! I have been going to my parents' house and swimming in their huge pool every day that I have been able to. I think my family thinks I am crazy because I always want to be in the pool, but it makes me weightless! It feels like I am hardly pregnant (until I look down at my enormous belly). It is good to have found something that can make me feel good as I anxiously await Alden's arrival.

Now I am starting to get a little bit nervous. I am mostly dissapointed because I found out Vanderbilt doesn't have the waterbirth option I was thought they did. I can get in the shower, but that's all. It made me want to stay at home and have the baby, but we don't have the space in the apartment. My parents said they would let us have it over there and then they changed their minds. So it's back to the birthing center plan. Friday Joey and I are meeting with the midwife to give her our birth plan. I hope that I can have a smooth birth since my pregnancy has been so rough. I just want to get Alden here as easily as possible. I hope that I can have him naturally and be able to apply all I have read about Active Birth.

So in other news, I am going to be taking an online class starting June 5th or so. I know you probably all think I am crazy, but I have to have this class to take one of the online classes in the Fall that I am registered for. The class goes until July 7th or something...so now I kind of hope Alden comes late so I can finish my class! If I don't pass this class, I won't have enough online courses to take in the Fall to be full time, which I might have to be if I have to stay on Dad's insurance. It's contingent on whether Joey gets a better job with benefits or not. If he doesn't we won't get married until he does get a better job, and I'll have to be a full time student to remain on dad's insurance. Insurance is such a hassle. And I want to take all online classes in the Fall because I can be home with Alden that way and try to get over my panic attacks before Spring. I will have to attend on campus in the Spring because there are no more classes offered online that I need for my degree. I hope I can do this. I want to have my bachelor's degree in Psychology even though I have had so many set backs.

Other than all of that, Joey and I are doing well. We hope to hear from all of you soon if you have a chance to drop an email or give us a call. Have a great one!
