Only 9 (-/+) weeks to go

Hello Everyone!

So week 30 officially ended on Wednesday.

On June 5th, my mom-in-law threw a family baby shower for us. We had such a great time of talking and she made a wonderful light dinner. It really meant a lot to me to get together with his family to share this experience. We are so thankful for the love and support that was overflowing.

Nausea, morning-sickness, and heartburn have made a huge comeback, and they have brought so many wonderful friends with them! This past week was kind of rough. On Wednesday I had my OB appointment, and I have lost more weight (which I am happy about, as long as Brody is okay). My blood pressure is still high, so I will be starting my weekly appointments earlier than normal. I need to start taking it easy and use my own discretion for things so that I am not put on "doctor-ordered" bed rest. Next week is my last week of school, so that will definitely cut out about 30% of my stress..lol!

We are still taking Birth Classes and the week prior we watched "Birth Videos" and I about puked! Seriously, who wants those "scenes" on video! It was not scary, it was nasty! This past week we learned about "creating a birthing environment" and relaxation techniques! We will see how well they work when I am in the labor process! For every class that we go to we earn $15 baby bucks to use in the "boutique". So far I have gotten some really cute outfits, which is great because I am tired of spending big $$$ at Motherhood Maternity just for the clothes to fall apart in the washer/dryer >{ We have also gotten some cute outfits for the baby. I feel a lot more confident now that we have taken the classes, but I know that with every birth it is different and you really can't expect anything to go a certain way. It is sad that the classes will be ending in 2 weeks =(

BABY NEWS: Not much of anything new, he is always kicking and rolling. I really do love that feeling!

Well that is pretty much it for now. Hopefully I will remember to post about week 31 a little earlier!

Love,

Kristina
