This is getting real

Just over 6 weeks to go and this is getting real! We are excited but also in shock that we will have a baby soon. We just finished birthing classes on Sunday - one more thing that makes it real. We finally got to see the labor floor and the mother-child floor. The rooms are nice and have all of the latest amenities - dvd players, cd players and flat screens - all things that could help pass the time as I labor. I saw the doctor today and all was well! It is always a relief to have a non-eventful appointment. :) No predictions yet on size, but given that my weight gain has been right on and I have measured right on, it appears to be an 'average' size. Who knows!

As the baby moves throughout the day, I can feel the back or head or lots of times a knee or elbow. It is fun to speculate what part it is - if only I could peak inside and see! It definitely doesn't like to be squished!

We have made progress on the babies room and hope to have it decorated in the next couple of weeks. That will be a relief!

More to come in the weeks ahead!

Sharing pregnancy progress

Hello - One of my friends created a blog when she was nearing the end of her pregnancy so people could see her progress and then with baby's arrival -his progress. I thought what a great idea. With just over 8 weeks left (give or take), I thought this is the perfect time to start. Chris and I went to our 4th birthing class today. We (I) practiced pushing. It is getting real. I plan to post a picture of the baby bump tomorrow. I feel huge but people say I am small. We will see what the next 8 weeks bring. Chris and I feel blessed and are getting excited and nervous for Baby B's arrival.
