31 weeks

Wow, only 9 Weeks until my due date! I feel like that is such a long ways off, and at the same time I feel so unprepared and nervous! All I know is I am ready to see our little boy!

Clayton has been here for the past 8 days. We had a great time together and it was actually a little harder than usual to say good bye this time. It is a pretty common routine for us but maybe it's just because I don't want him to miss the next 2 months, I feel like I am really going to miss him a lot, especially those nice foot rubs! ;-)

We had a couples shower the first night Clayton was in town. It was so much fun seeing all our old pville friends. Having everyone show up to help us celebrate the baby was truly a blessing. Little Smitty got lots of fun things!

We also went to a Lamaze class on Saturday before he left which I am so thankful for! We gained a lot of knowledge and the class over all was very informative. Kinda made things a little more scary, but also put me at ease to know that all mother's have to go through it and that I can do it! The class was 5 hours long and during our breathing exercises I kept falling to sleep while the teacher was giving instructions for the next technique. It was hard to stay awake! I think I got the idea though. We also got the giggles...yes, the uncontrolable giggles! We felt horrible but could NOT stop laughing at the end of the breathing exercises! It was pretty funny. Thank god it was the last exercise! I think we would have had to leave the classroom.

We got to spend time with all of our parents and some family members while he was here, but pretty much took it easy and relaxed the entire week.

Well, It's almost 1am so I better get to sleep! I can't believe August is only 5 days away! Hope everyone is doing well! Goodnight!

Third Trimester

Went to the doctor today. Had my Glucose test (YUCK!) and also had another ultrasound to check on the Placenta Previa, which is gone! Got to see the baby, he has really grown. He looked like a REAL baby! :-) So cute! I started feeling sick after they drew my blood for the glucose test and almost passed out...had to cut my ultrasound short bc of this. That was a little disappointing because we were having so much fun looking at the little guy. Here is a picture..

I can't believe the third trimester is already here, I feel like I still have a long time to go but I think it will go by fast! Clayton is coming in town next weekend and gets to stay for over a week! Can't wait.
