My growing Jelly belly

Week 31

I guess at this point, we’re well on our way to having a baby quite soon. It’s scary how quickly it flies by. So: what’s new over the last two weeks? Had another routine appointment, and all is well. We started birthing class last Monday, and we’re both really enjoying it. Our instructor is a really cool and funny lady. After the first class, Jason went up to her and told her that she needed to start a stand up comedy act. She’s really knowledgeable and gets straight to the point. I felt really bad for her on this past Monday though. She had started work at 7:00 am, finished at 7:00 pm, and had our class from 7:15 to 9:30. That’s a very very long day. She brought all her gadgets and gizmos (forceps, vacuum suction, enema, epidural catheter, etc.), and then we watched three birth stories. Oh boy. Lots to look forward to. She had us practice some different kinds of breathing. All in all, a good time.

We move into our new home on Friday. I’ve been packing all of Jason’s books (all 500 of them) into boxes, and will start packing clothes today. There’s just so much little stuff; how am I supposed to pack it all? I’m making pretty good progress though. I’ve also started making a quilt for the baby. After searching online for hours looking at bedding, I came to the conclusion that it was either way too expensive, or not exactly what I wanted, or came with too many accessories (I really don’t need coordinating mobile, lampshade, throw pillow, dust ruffle, wall hanging, etc.). So I’ve kind of gotten sucked into that. Luckily I can’t go any further until I have my sewing machine (thanks Mom!), or else I wouldn’t get any packing done at all. I’m attaching a picture of the quilt front (hand embroidered… phew).

Also, here is my belly shot. I forgot to do one last week, but I don’t appear to have blown up over the last two weeks anyways. She is impeding on my rib cage though.

Here’s the quilt:
