Week 28

I'm sorry for not getting on here more often - I have totally planned on it but have been a little swamped over the month of April with my booth at the Women's Expo, etc. But I feel like I have returned to life as a semi-normal person, for which my husband and I are both grateful!

Today I complete week 28, and our little guy is completely on the move. Its very rare for me to be sitting down and not feeling him kicking around and poking in there. David keeps saying "That's our little soccer player!" He's been enjoying feeling the movement as well. Overall I can't complain but I do have the usual aches and pains in my hips and back, and sure enough like clockwork, I have definitely noticed a change in how tired I get during an average day. I'm trying not to think and worry about what the last few weeks will be like. I'm just going to take them one at a time and enjoy all of the things that I'm able to do!

We've been taking a "Preparing for Parenting" class over the last few weeks, and we've enjoyed that. There are around 13 other couples in the class with us, and its very laid back. Its been fun to meet up with other couples that are in the exact same boat as we are. It ends this next week, and I'll sort of be sad to not go anymore! They're giving us a ton of useful information, and its really common-sense stuff, but I just hope I can somehow remember even just half of it by the time we can put it into practice.

The baby's room is coming along very nicely too. We put up curtains and I painted new knobs for the baby's dresser (thanks, Stacie!). We have a glider that my parents bought for us and a bookshelf in there. Once David paints the crib (if it can ever be warm and dry on a day he's home!) we'll be able to put that up. We got a great deal on some "gently used" bedding that Mom found for us that we love - here's the link if you'd like to see some of it at least - http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/k4059/index.cfm?pkey=cbdgbbd%7Cb
. Leslie & Jonathan bought us an early shower gift also, a swing in the Graco "G Galore" pattern which is super cute, and its set up in the baby's room as well.

I have however started to get a little nervous about how quickly time if flying by! Last week I realized that although still only April officially, I knew we were going to be gone this weekend, home for two weeks, then I'd be gone for another two weeks and when I came home, May would be over and it would already be June! Not sure of how I'll feel then, I now have about 400 lists floating around the house of things I want to get done before I'm out of town, so that in case I am not feeling great I have gotten things done. We'll just have to see how that goes.

Well and don't be angry but I have no photos to post of me and my belly. I will, I promise. It is just a wee bit intimidating to take photos of my huge belly and send them out for the world to see! But I don't want to risk anyone's wrath and so there should hopefully be photos in the next week or so.

I promise to try and do better with posting too - thanks to everyone who keeps checking on me! :)
