Growth Spurt!! 26 Down- 14 To Go!


He is getting so big!!! According to babycenter.com, he's now about 14" from head to toe and 1.7 lbs! I feel like he went through a growth spurt in the last 2 weeks- I'm huge! I love my baby belly but I'm a little nervous about how big it will be in 14 weeks! We had an appointment last week and got to hear his little heart beating! The doctor said he is measuring a little bit big- maybe that will mean that he will come a little bit early! :) We only have one more "monthly" appointment then we will start going twice a month. That means we only have 6 more before his due date! We're making a little progress on the nursery. The ceiling, shelves, and doors are done- now I just need to paint the walls and Joe has some lights to put in and we need to put up the beadboard paneling and chair rail. Seems like a lot still! I'm not worried though. I know it's going to get done and it's going to look great when it does! Our weekends are filling up though and we're going to be pretty busy this next couple of months. I feel like we're on the downhill and it's going to go by really quickly! It's so exciting!!

The bigger my belly gets, the more nervous I'm becoming about never fitting into my clothes again and, more importantly, how he's going to be arriving! We've started a class on the Bradley Method of natural childbirth, and I'm really hoping that it will help me build my confidence! So far I really like the class and our instructor. Joe wasn't too excited about having to go to 10 classes! I'm really glad that we'll have some preparation though and hope that he can feel included in the birth process! Only 14(ish) more weeks! It sounds like forever, but at the same time right around the corner! We've been making the most of our time together and have been enjoying each other a little extra- we're never going to be a family of 2 again! It's been amazing, but we're ready and really super excited about growing our own little family tree!
