In the last 2.5 weeks not too much new has happened. We did finish our final birthing class - where we watched 3 filmed births and 1 c-section. And it’s a little late for us but I strongly encourage anyone looking for a good birth-control method to watch those scary videos….I am sure my birth experience will be much better, cleaner and easier than they made it look on the video ;-) We also have pretty much finished the nursery, with the exception of hanging a few pictures on the wall – but since the baby will be in them, hanging empty frames seems a little silly! I included pictures of that below. Other excitement includes my mom visiting this weekend, as well as Caitlin arriving for a month long stay. She is going to be interning at Loyola for her final month of undergrad, so that will be fun. Also this weekend, Dee and Sara are throwing a little shower for my Chicago friends – a mix of people I have come to know via Baxter and Kellogg – so that will be fun and nice!
I am trudging along physically, starting to get more uncomfortable but nothing unbearable. I am slow. I waddle. My hips, back and inner thigh ache. I guess that about sums up what late-stage pregnancy is for most people though.
So this last appointment I was up 2.3 lbs – so now 43.1. With 5 weeks to go my new goal is to keep it under 45 – haha – I have sort have had to adjust my goals on the fly. My original goal of staying under 25 lbs is looong gone. Some peopel are saying it looks like my stomach has dropped...i think it looks like its in the same position, just bigger!
Week 34.5 (+43.1 lbs) Week 32 (+40.8 lbs)
And here are some more nursery pictures
And finally a picture of Pete, practicing being a good dad with the Baby Bjorn
