30 Weeks

Step 1 of adding the tree.

Step 2 - adding the little flowers.

We are on the down hill slide now.  Less than 10 weeks to go-- crazy!  Over Christmas break we got most of the nursery ready.  We still need a few things to make it functional, not just decorative, but it's in pretty good shape now.  I am really happy how it all turned out.

This month is already becoming very busy.  I have doctor's appointments every two weeks plus we start birthing classes next week.  Classes will be once a week for the next 5 weeks.  They should help us know a lot more about the hospital and the whole process.  Plus, Kevin will have to wear the empathy belly during one of the classes.  I can't wait for that!  Then, at the end of the month, the lovely ladies I work with have planned a shower for me.  I am so excited about it!  I am so lucky to have such great people to work with. 

Last night Kevin really got to feel her kicking.  You can see her little body move around in my tummy now and when you poke her, she'll often kick back.  Kevin was able to feel what was probably an arm or a leg and was amazed (and maybe a little freaked out).  She feels like she's going to be a pretty strong little girl based on the force of some of her moves! 

I feel like we still have so much to take care of before the baby comes, so I'm sure the next 68 days will fly by.  I can't wait to meet our little girl but I am definitely praying she doesn't come early.  Too much to do before we're really ready for her!
