jam packed weekend

we had a great weekend full of time with family, good food, and even some education!
over the past 2 saturdays we have had a childbirth prep class at the hospital. it was a fun thing to do together- a nice refresher for me and an eye-opening experience for jonathan. i feel fortunate that i had a whole semester in nursing school dedicated to the subject and spent a year and a half working with pregnant women and new moms as a public health nurse, so i feel fairly prepared. knowledge is power right? of course the minute that baby comes i know i will suddenly get a bad case of amnesia and forget it all and find myself wondering, "what do i do with this little alien?" :)
it was strange to be back in the hospital where i spent a semester doing my clinical rotation- it looked the same, smelled the same, felt the same...at least i didn't have to wear scubs!

my sister was also visiting for the weekend for mother's day. yay! we went up to fallbrook to hang out with the family. i got to enjoy a chocolate lava cake at the chart house, jonathan got to go golfing with his dad. it was like a little mini-vacation.

now back to reality- jonathan is back working hard. my job teaching art in the after school program ended so i have ample time to get ready for baby...not sure what to do with myself.
i am taking a photography class, which is really fun. my photo last night was voted best! which was fun, because i didn't think it was all that great. we were supposed to display motion, mine is of the carousel in seaport village...
