Baby Showers and Baby Dropping :)

Last weekend we had a whirlwind trip to Waco for two days of meetings for TAIR and then off to Midland/Odessa for baby showers which was great. It is nice to get out of town and go visit family for a few days, but by the time Sunday rolled around it was time to go home. Our families are great and they have been so supportive through everything. We didn't even expect to have any baby showers, but by the end of may we will have had five, everyone is getting excited. It was nice to spend time with our family and friends, that is one bad thing about living so far away everyone is that it is hard to find time to get out of town for more than a few days. That is one thing when the babies get here we want to take them to all the family events that we have been missing for various reasons so they will know their family.

Ok on to the baby dropping, well on Tuesday we went to a class called "Breastfeeding for Multiples" which shows soon-to-be moms how to breastfeed two (or more) at the same time. It was an interesting class, and they showed how to do different positions to make mommy and babies comfortable. The other two couples that were there were having two boys and one was having a boy and a girl and they seemed pretty serious and by serious i mean not laid back. Well about halfway through the class Kristi had the baby on her lap (not a real baby a doll) and she was moving around and the baby fell right off of her leg onto the floor which wouldn't have been so funny, but it hit the floor and she said "oh shit" right as the lady next to her turned around, she smiled which for some reason set kristi and i on a laughing spree and we we couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes. Then the instructor asked what is so funny over there because both kristi and I were red as my shirt and bawling with laughter. So we told her what happened with the baby falling off of her knee, and the instructor said "Well I wouldn't recommend doing that to a real baby, they tend not to like that." Now the other couples didn't think it was too amusing, but I guess you just had to be there to realize how funny it was. Then throughout the rest of the class I couldn't even look at the baby she dropped because I would almost burst out laughing again.

We are in for an interesting ride :)
