6 weeks to go!

Time seems to be flying! We are currently at 34 weeks, so that gives us about 6 weeks to go! We have taken 3 of our 4 childbirth classes and in them we've been practicing breathing techniques, watching actual births (scary), learning more about pain medications, and other great information. In our last class, we'll be talking about infant care and other things we should know! We also took an infant and child CPR and first aid class. It was really neat and we got to have our own "infant/child" to practice on. Overall, the classes have been really good.

The girls in my community group (Christi Branson, Cat VanHook, Tatiana Meintrup, Shannon Day, and Heather Murray) threw me a shower at our church, The Journey! The theme was Nursery Rhymes and Books, and almost everyone brough a book for little Nathan! I'll have pictures in the next update.

Here's my belly at 34 weeks! The doctor says I'm right on target, which means my belly from top to bottom measures 34 inches. Hopefully that means he's going to be an average size baby... we'd like to avoid one that is too big! Yikes!


The nursery is almost finished. We've added pictures to the walls, hung the curtains, and are waiting on the rest of our furniture to come in! When it's finished I'll add pictures for everyone to see!

You are looking good. We hope you are enjoying your last few days of preganancy. Once the "ball gets rollin'" it goes by fast. Drew is one of those Big babies you mentioned not wanting. I don't think he was ever average size. You guys are going to be great parents! Can't wait to see you again and meet Nathan.
