A quick note to say hi and that we are back from our Lamaze Getaway. It was very nice to meet other expectant parents, and also a very efficient way to get a lot of useful information. Agnish and I were surprised to realize how little we actually knew about the birthing process! I won't say that I feel ready for labor and delivery now, but I do think I have a better understanding of what to expect (mostly that nothing ever goes as planned, and no one has a 'normal' experience).
It was also very nice to go through all of the training in a beautiful setting, and get away from it all (no work or email for 2 days!).
I'm still feeling good, and hoping that the baby will wait another 2 weeks to show up. My parents are coming in on Wednesday for Thanksgiving, and staying through the weekend. So, I'll post some pictures of our Thanksgiving feast (if all goes well).
Until then, some more pics...
Agnish thought all the posters were funny---here's me holding one so that you can see my big ole belly:

Another funny poster that describes the stages of labor and how I'll be feeling at each one. Very much looking forward to the "transition" stage where apparently I'll be feeling pretty great.
