Jim and Pam had their baby. I think Micah now feels prepared for the childbirthing experience after watching it, which is good since he doesn't have time to read any books. Jk :) The male lactation consultant was hilarious!
We actually started our Prepared Natural Childbirth class last week. It was an experience! Sometimes I forgot how people, in general, can be so different and then am quickly reminded when we are forced to get out and meet people. It doesn't really matter what class it is (even in college you can find them) it seems like there are always the stereotypical personalities...the funny guy, the overly prepared and ready to answer every question girl, the girl that looks entirely bored and mad to be there, a few seemingly clueless people, and then the couple who can't stop asking questions, even if the questions have nothing to do with what we're talking about.
We had to split up and "mingle" with another couple to get the class started. Unfortunately it was the most ackward conversation ever, this is a little taste of it...
Micah: Hi, my name's Micah and (cut off by Bored/mad girl)
Bored/mad girl: How old are you? You both look REALLY young?
Amanda: Uh...We're not super young, um...how old are you.
Bored/mad girl: (pointing to husband with long beard) we're 24
Micah: Me too, and she (pointing to me) is 26
Bored/mad girl: So is everyone, like, trying to freak you out about it? Like, do they give you a hard time?
Micah: uh, no, not really.....so... what do you guys do?
Beard guy: we just moved from California
Me: Oh, we just moved from Wisconsin in August!
Bored/mad girl: Do you like it here?
Micah and I: yeah, we really do
Bored/mad girl: We don't. (With a look of disgust)
Micah and I: sounds great!
Anyway, that may not be our conversation word for word but it was so weird! We came to find out that they are both the oldest of 8 kids in their families so they said they're REALLY prepared and know what they're doing. Good to know!
I think we'll look for a different couple to mingle with next time :)
We had our first baby shower two weeks ago. It was a double shower for us and another teacher and his wife who are expecting their 2nd baby, a little girl, any day now. The faculty at Prince of Peace showered us with a basketful of cute clothes and other supplies. Our baby even has a pair of swim trunks for this summer!
It was so nice of everyone to think of us and to give our baby such cute things!
Micah is very thankful to work with wonderful people everyday :)

This sounds like an experience that we would also have in a class like that. We hope that everything is going well for you. We're real excited for you guys, and hope to see you soon.
