Well, Brian did eventually show up last night and then on our way we went. Almost forgot to grab the blanket and pillows on the way out...but then, off we went.

Got on I-25 because Brian said there wasn't any traffic...well, there was a little bit, but it was mostly okay. I decided, well, the hospital's cross town, I'll just got on I-76 and merge to I-70 and get off over on Wadsworth. Retard me got on I-76 EASTBOUND and started heading in the opposite direction of the hospital (I was trying to go to Nebraska and Kansas like a dumbass)...SO, here I am worried about Brian making us late and I'm driving on fucking I-76 going the opposite direction of the mountains! I managed to get off on I-270 and head southbound for a little bit (past all the icky oil refineries that smell and all that) and then eventually when they hit Quebec Street, I got off and took I-70 WESTBOUND toward the hospital. This being said, it was 6:10 when I finally got to doing this...the class started at 6:30. I'm all freaking out because I thought we'd be late, but we were good to go. We got there early (and two couples showed up after us).

All in all, the class was very informative...we talked about what changes in the body during this whole pregnancy things, what things stretch out to epic proportions (well, to some guys it seemed like OH WOW when they were showing all the muscles of the pelvic floor and how they change...haha...I thought this one guy was gonna pass out). We talked about pain threshholds and stuff like that. Of course, Brian and I were on complete opposite ends of the spectrum. They had all the partners go out in the hall...and all the preggo ladies stay in the room. I picked between a +5 (as soon as medication becomes available, I want it) and a +7 (I'll duke it out for the contractions up to 4cm, but after that...I want the narcotics)...Brian, on the other hand, thought we should do -5 (will try not to use medication at all...and the partner would be very supportive and let me know that the drugs are bad and that I could do this without drugs)...haha...he obviously doesn't know me very well. I told him in the hallway later that I would try and compromise. I would try to go as long as possible without getting any medication just to see if I could do it, but I don't see that happening. I can already see me caving in...but maybe with all the support around me, it'll be all I need.

At the end of the class, we practiced relaxation techniques (i.e. I got a sweet ass 10 minute massage...lol) and then we layed on the floor and "meditated" sort of...it was calming.

Next week, we come back and do it again. I think next week she said that the labor stations would be set up or something and we'd practice different stations of labor and yadda yadda. The 4th week, we're doing a mock labor thing...that should be interesting. She said hopefully we can laugh about it and it'll all be good.

BUT YES...after that, we drove back to Brian's house because his RAM died in his computer. He has to return his RAM and they'll send him completely new RAM (as his had a lifetime warranty or something...they were pricy RAM sticks...LED's on the side to let you know when it was working and all that jazz). In the meantime, he took the extra GB of RAM out of my computer and is using it in his computer. That's all cool (as it is his RAM to begin with), so I'm with my one 512 stick now...Anyway, since I detoured in the middle there, we grabbed that...went back to my house so I could grab a change of clothes for today (by this time, it was 10:30) and we drove to FedEx/Kinko's over by my house...of course, they're not the ones open 24 hours. SO, we drove over to FedEx/Kinkos off of Sheridan and shipped his package off and by the time we left there, it was 11:00...and I still hadn't eaten anything (I'm sort of starving, sort of not). We went to King Soopers so I could get a box of Lucky Charms (I'd already eaten fast food twice yesterday...I didn't want it anymore) and then Brian wanted something to eat...so we went to Wendy's...then we finally got to drive back to his house.

Ugh...after all was said and done, I think I got to bed around 12ish just because we were constantly on the go...and then I had to wake up at 6:30. At least Brian went to bed when I went to bed, so I wasn't waking up periodically throughout the night because all I can see is his computer screen and him doing stuff on it. I guess that was sort of nice...

But anyway...after that whole lengthy thing, we bring in Wednesday! I do have one shitty thing though...I had about $100.00 worth of Target gift cards I got for the baby that seem to have up and disappeared. I'm really upset about this because I basically just lost $100.00. I looked in Brian's room, I looked in my room, I looked in my purse...I looked in Brian's mom's car (from what I could tell, it wasn't out in the open...maybe they fell between the seat, I don't know)...either way, it's just upsetting. I am hoping they turn up at Brian's house or something. That's the last place I remember having them. If they don't and I dropped them on the street somewhere, someone just found themselves $100.00 of free Target stuff...FUCKIN-A!

Other than that, it's go home after work and start to sort the closet...or maybe it's just going to be me vegetating on my couch...I haven't decided which to do yet, but we'll find out.

Wow...
I am exhausted just listening to that. Take care of you and your baby and I really hope you find those gift cards!
