Wednesday brought more goodbyes as we attended "Clutch's", one of the guys who flys with Brad, Fini Flight. The fini flight is the last flight a guy has with the squadron before he leaves off to his next assignment. As he climbs out of the jet the guys all tackle them, tie them up and douse them in water, champagne, and any other nonsense they can find. The Yarboroughs have been great friends here at Shaw and we will miss them! Wednesday night I volunteered to host Book Club for the ladies. Book club is something that I have been wanting to participate in but haven't been able to attend very often with my work travel schedule. Now that I am home I am so excited to get to be involved in this. The girls had a great time Wed night planning out our next few months of Book Club and even though Brad got home pretty late from work he swiped some food and tried to avoid getting too close to all the estrogen! The biggest news on Wednesday was that we got to welcome Baby Hafez into the world! Congratulations to Adam and Micheale as they gave birth Shaun Adam Hafez.
Thursday was another busy day! Again a full day of work and then Brad rushed home so that we would have time to visit Micheale and Baby Shaun before our Baby Basics class at the hospital. We just made it in time to get to see Micheale and Shaun for about 20 min before class started. Both Mama and baby were looking great! I have to say the baby next door to baby Shaun was not quite as happy as he was. Micheale and I have gotten to be friends just since being pregnant together and we have both enjoyed having another working friend to go through the experience with. Micheale was convinced that I was going to go into labor before her even though she was due 7 days before me. Luckily for both of us I didn't! Shaun is tiny and precious! We are so excited for him to get to grow up with Baby Matherne (at least until we both go to new assignments!).
Brad, Me, Mommy Micheale, and Baby Shaun, (Daddy had just left to go feed the cat!)
Baby basics class was next. We ran back downstairs and were only a couple of minutes late to class. We got to see a really great movie about shaken baby syndrome and learn a few things about the basics of newborn care. Apparently every parent has to watch this movie before they are released from the hospital and since we did it in class we won't have to do it again after the baby is born. As exciting as it was, we are glad! The other highlight of the class was learning to swaddle. We all got dolls and got to practice this ever important skill. Hopefully Daddy was paying attention! Of all the classes we took at the hospital this one was probably the least informative, but we got our check marks for the video so all was not lost. We have enjoyed getting to attend classes with Kendall and Howie. They are friends from our squadron that I have mentioned before. We almost never get to have pictures with all of us in them so we took this rare opportunity to commemorate the moment before I POP!
Howie, Kendall (37 wks), Me (39.5 wks), Brad
