In addition to the birthing/parenting classes we received Samantha's crib in the mail as an early Christmas present from my grandfather. After a couple of days, I finally found time to put it together without much of a hitch. (Although I want everyone to be clear that it does say a 2 person job.) He later sent us the mattress and it's starting to look like all of her stuff is coming together.
Last Saturday night we kept our nephews to give them their Christmas presents. They are so great around us and it really shows us that we will be good parents in the future. It's also nice to see how much of an affect I have on them. I pretty much have my nephew Brandon eating out of my hands when it comes to The Simpsons. Hey, I didn't say I had to be a "good" role model all of the time. haha
Well, the good news is, it looks like I'm about to get some down time in order to help prepare for the baby. I just wrapped up my math class and plan on taking a break during the new baby festivities. Plus, it looks like work is about to get a little less hectic which is definitely a good thing as well. Still, I can't wait for the Christmas break, definitely long overdue for a little break from it all.
If I've learned one thing from the parenting class it's that gross is in the eye of the beholder.
