Happenings

Since this is the closest thing i have to a journal during my pregnancy, i was thinking i should make sure to write down what's going on at least every once in a while!

Went to the doctor last week for my 32 week appointment, and measured right at 32! So all is well there, and baby is growing and moving like a champ. In fact, this kid has been exercising pretty regularly in my belly now - which is a strange sensation for sure, and one I think you can only experience to truly understand the feeling. It has been cool to see my tummy moving, but the occasions when he pushes on my bladder or into a rib have caused just a little discomfort.

We are taking childbirth classes right now, and today will be our third one - the tour! I'm looking forward to seeing where the special day will take place, and what entrance, etc. we need to come into when we arrive! Last week we watched a birth video, most likely filmed in the 80s judging by the hair styles. It was quite graphic, and though it was educational for sure, a part of me would rather just do it - without having seen graphic details of what I might resemble during my labor. :)

We are still trying to decide on a name for this little guy, and have been reading through a name book, highlighting names we both like. Hopefully that will help narrow it down to the winner! We will probably wait to tell everyone which name we picked until after he's born, just to make sure the name fits him when we meet him.

Baby's room is getting very close to ready - though i feel like we should be filling our car with diapers at this point! We still need the diaper trash and bags, bath, shampoos, lotions, wipes, diapers, etc. but i think this kid will be good with blankets, toys and clothes thanks to all the wonderful gifts people have so generously given. Of course more clothes will always be good, from what i hear about the blow outs we'll be cleaning up!

Other than that, we are gearing up for the final month stretch, praying for our little baby boy, and a smooth transition into family-hood. I can't wait for you all to meet him already, and look forward to the many years ahead of laughter, memories, and love.
