Birthing Classes Begin

Hello all! Well I am 31 weeks now and still kicking--literally!! Last night my mom and dad went to their first birthing class at Highland Hospital where I am expected to enter the world I've been hearing about but have yet to see. It's all a little frightening frankly.

I heard a video at the birthing class last night and learned about all the twisting and turning that I would be going through in less than 10 weeks--the pushing, the squeezing, the turning, the water, the blood and . . . I better stop. Anyway, it was educational I guess.

Following the video, I could feel my mom reclining and the next thing I heard was this rather strange breathing going on. At one point it sounded like she was hooting--I'm not sure what that was all about.

I did learn that on November 11th my mom, dad and I are going to get a tour of the birthing area. I'll just have to rely on their eyes and take in all that I can hear.

Well, I'd better go for now--I'll try to write more regularly. Mom and dad have a baby shower on Saturday, so maybe I'll update you with what I hear.

Thanks for loving and caring about me even before the big birthing date! Keep praying that I grow and develop.

Love,

Little Hoffy

Daddy felt me kick

I'm 21 weeks old now and Saturday, August 23rd, I kicked hard enough that daddy felt me kick for the first time. Mommy has felt me kickly for a few weeks now.

I'm 18 Weeks and I already look so much like . . .

Meet Baby Hoffman! This is his (yes his--see below) first 18 week photo shoot. Mom, dad, and baby are doing well, so far, and are praying for a continued healthy pregnancy, delivery and life!

The due date for Baby Hoffman is January 1, 2009--though we are kind of hoping for December 2008! Stay tuned for more updates on the progress of Baby Hoffman.
