30 weeks!!

Holy Cow! Only 10 more weeks to go (if that)! Last week, Jude and I were driving somewhere, and he said, 'so you're 30 weeks this Sunday right?' And I said, 'yep! doesn't that sound big?' and he thought about it for a second, and replied, 'sure does.' Ha! It is INSANE to think about what the next couple of months has in store for us. It's exciting and nerve racking at the same time. I think I said this before, but every week that goes by I feel better and better about the heath and safety of our baby. I finally sent in my paperwork to St. Jude to pre-register, and we can go take a tour any time now. Lamaze class hasn't been decided upon yet... it's kind of expensive, and honestly we just don't know if it's worth it. I guess the only reason I wanted to take it was because of the experience, and I just feel a little ignorant when it comes to all of that stuff... but we'll see. Jude and I are going to talk about it tonight.

I scheduled my 4D ultrasound appointment!! I am really excited about it! It's set for next Sunday. I'll be 31 weeks, and they said the VERY latest to get one done is at 32 weeks, just because the baby is too smashed inside by then to be able to get any good pictures. The package we're getting comes with a DVD, and we get to pick the song to put on it! We'll have to come up with something good. It's so exciting to get a glimpse of what he looks like!

Easter was fun, and hot! We went to my sister's house for Easter, and my mom and sister put together a really cute little basket for Joshua! And I colored an egg for him as well. When we got home, I took pictures of it. I was bummed, because I got a cute outfit for Easter, and after i changed (because I was sweating) I realized that we didn't take a picture :( So sad... i guess i could put the outfit on again... but you know, it's just not the same. Oh well.

It's really fun now, because I'm obviously pregnant, so everyone is friendly! Almost everywhere we go, somebody asks me what I'm having, or when I'm due. It's a lot of fun.

Only about 5 more weeks of work! How exciting is THAT!? I'm really looking forward to being able to be at home, and not feel so uncomfortable at work or in work clothes. It'll be very nice! By then Tyquon will be out from under our care as well, which will also be nice for me to just focus on the baby and that task at hand. It has been a VERY long 3 months, and we have another very long month ahead of us. But I'm really hoping that something good comes from all this. I hope that down the road, I can look back and see some benefit to this situation. Who knows, maybe we learned something? :)

Next week we are going to Monterey, which I'm really looking forward to! It'll be nice to get away for a long weekend!

Anyway, I wish I had more pictures to post, but I don't :) Sorry!

Wow sarah I Cant believe you are already 30 weeks you are really coming down to the wire, You actually make me miss being pregnant. Brian and I took all the classes offered by ST Jude, except the dad's class brian felt funny going to that one alone. But Although I had an epidural I really enjoyed Lamaze it taught me what to expect and the Lingo they use at the hospital, plus I did use the lamaze strategies up until I was 3cm dialated and could get an epidural. The infant classes were helpful too. But we didn't get the 4d because that was too spendy for us.
