As of yesterday, I am officially 30 weeks pregnant! Only 10 weeks to go!!! We are getting very excited and a little nervous, but mostly can't wait to hold Parker in our arms and see his little face. Such a miracle. It is amazing how much we love him already.
These days I am feeling a lot more uncomfortable! Lots of trouble sleeping at night, swelling in my feet, lower legs and hands, a ferocious appetite, many small aches and pains... all very normal things :) Parker's movements are also starting to change. They are getting to be big movements that ripple my whole belly, rather than the distinct kicks and punches of before. Weighing in at over 3 pounds, he is also taking up more space and leaving less room for things like my bladder and lungs, which have rather obvious results ;) In the end it is all more than worth it, but right now, I am moving pretty slowly and not getting too much done!
We started our Labor and Delivery class this past week. It is every Thursday night from 7-9 for 5 weeks. It looks like it will be very informative and serve the purpose of educating us and helping us feel more prepared for what is to come. They sure didn't ease us into it though! The firsrt night there was a pretty intense labor video. I decided I would just skip the whole delivery part and got straight from being pregnant to holding a baby in my arms with nothing in between!! Yeah, right!
Anyway, as for the other parts of our lives, they are going quite well. Matt's kickball team is doing very well and will be in the play-off's next weekend. His job is going well and he is enjoying the new company and his co-workers. They will be merging with another company, they are a european company and it sounds like it will be a good thing. Matt's job is still secure, the only thing really effecting him right away will be a change in benefits, but it is all the same or better than what we have now, so not a big deal :)
I have been working a bit more the past couple of weeks, getting more hours (only about 1/2 - 1 day more a week) but, every little bit helps! I have also been cleaning and organizing trying to get everything in order for Parker's arrival and visiting family :) Other than that, I am pretty much moving at snails pace and don't get a whole lot done! Looking forward to the coming months and enjoying the beautiful weather while it lasts :)
