34 weeks, 6 days pregnant

36 DAYS TO GO

Darling Husband and I had our second (and final) prenatal class today.

In a fit of pregnancy-brain forgetfulness, I don’t think I ever got around to blogging about the first class. But luckily, for those of you in a rush, I can summary everything we learned in both classes very efficiently …

Labour & Delivery class: Don’t take drugs during labour. They’re horrible.

Parenting/Childcare class: Breastfeed. If you don’t, you’re evil.

Seriously.

That is all we were taught. Those same two messages, over and over, for each three-and-a-half hour class. The hospital tour kicked the classes’ ass, in terms of having fun and learning a lot of useful information.

However, we did score five free books on babies/parenting, plus a nifty fridge magnet. It wasn’t a total loss.

I knew it, I'm an evil mommy! I'm so glad I never took any of those classes

It was definitely a very one-sided lesson! I think it should have been more objective.

I’m Heather Laura Clarke. I’m writer living in beautiful Nova Scotia, I have a 11-year-old son and a nine-year-old daughter, I married my high school sweetheart, and this is the story of my handmade life.

I have depression and anxiety, and I fight like hell every day to keep it from taking over my life. Making things isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of what keeps me alive.

Whether I’m writing novels, decorating a room, busting out my power tools to build furniture, getting muddy in the pottery studio, sewing clothes for my kids, or cross-stitching a swear word, I’m all about using my creativity to craft a life I love.

I’ve been writing this blog since 2009, so if you dig deep into the archives, you’ll meet a bright-eyed 25-year-old newlywed who was basically obsessed with having kids, buying a cozy house, and supporting herself full-time as a writer. (Spoiler alert: she got exactly what she wanted.)
