Its been too long since I wrote last. Miss Grace's room is really coming along. We have all the furniture in and even painted the room. Well, unfortunatly I painted it TOO pink so now we have to repaint it. Opps, lesson learned! Now the next project is to paint it a lighter and warmer pink. Its called "pink champagne". Hopefully it looks as good as it sounds.

Other than her room not a lot has changed. Cameron is still in outage meaning that he isn't home a lot. It feels like every night now I have to roll out of bed and reach for my best friend now which are Tums. Gracie just making my stomach acid not happy.

Also, I'm working at a new branch location at my job. Instead of working at the one on Cypress Lake Dr. I'm working on Daniels near the airport. Its a big transition from a branch that rents out 50 cars a day to one that might rent 10. It's good because I'm not running around in the hot sun and washing premium cars for Jaguar customers anymore but its much more boring. Give and take.

Today I had a new experience. I had my first massage by a "Doula". By wikipedia definition that means "doula is an assistant who provides various forms of non-medical and non-midwifery support (physical and emotional) in the childbirth process." I really enjoyed the hour massage and think that her services might be beneficial to me. Not only will she give me massage before and after the pregnancy she can assist in the labor. She can be there when nurses are not around, coach me, and most of all massage me and keep me from most likely dismembering Cameron!

Am I doing this because I'm scared of labor? Yes and no. Of course I'm scared. This will be something completely new for me. So she can help coach and calm me down. She can calm Cameron too because I'm sure he'll be more freaked out than me!! But also, she really believes in her work and sees so much beauty in childbirth that I think she'd bring a special element into the birth of our little Gracie. We'll see. I haven't made a decision to use her yet.

Well, I am tired. I will written again soon hopefully. Can't wait for Birth class this Saturday!!
