So far things have been great! My shower invitations go out this week and I am excited about that! My showers are the 1st and 2nd weekend in December! I can't wait to see friends and family and get some great gifts for Tinley! I am not one who likes and wants tons of gifts, but these are for Tinley not me so I can't wait!! Her name is officially Tinley Sophia Woodruff! It is hard to believe that we have just about 13 more weeks until she will be here! Time really has flown by. I am super excited and starting to get nervous! I am worried about having enough money to pay for daycare and diapers and all of that stuff. But, I know that we will make it work. We will just have to change some things we do now. I am also worried about how it will affect Randy and I. I don't want us to forget about "us". It will be hard not having family here to babysit now and then so Randy and I can have an evening to ourself. Guess we will start going on dates in Evansville when we go home to visit! We signed up for some classes at the hospital where we will have Tinley. We are taking a newborn class, breastfeeding class, and childbirth preperation. They start in 2 weeks and last for 6 weeks. They are from 6-9PM on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. That will be tough, but we feel they are important. I am actually excited to meet other mommys and daddys to be! Maybe we can make some new friends!
