30 WEEKS!

Wow so I cant beleive I have actually been pregnant for 30 weeks now! Except when I look at this picture I can believe it!  I think I look huge!  It doesn't look that big from above when I look down!  (if any of  you are closely following my pregnancy then you know by the time I got this posted I am actually already 31 weeks...time flies these days!) I have to admit I have really like being pregnant! Sometime I think it would be nice to have the baby here but then im really in no hurry. I know he will get here soon enough and I just want to enjoy this time now.  The 2nd Trimester has been very very good to me.  I actually started getting back in a exercise routine and am up to walking 2 miles a day.  I know I may have to reduce this or even stop exercising eventually but I want to keep it up for as long as I can.  I think this has really helped me not have back pain, control weight gain, and sleep well at night.  And now that the weather is starting to get nice I can start walking outside which is way better than doing 5 laps around the mall!  Having said all that I think maybe I am starting to understand what people mean when they say "the 3rd Trimester is miserable!"  This week I have had several afternoons where I was just quite uncomfortable for an extended amount of time....but im not really complaining I have had it pretty good up till now so if have a few afternoons of discomfort I will try to grin and bear it....now if it starts being all the time I might have to do another blog about how awful the 8th and 9th months are but im not quite to that point yet.

Everyone always says I want to see pregnant pictures so here are some pictures Will and I took at 30 weeks.  We spent last weekend registering and picking out some baby stuff, here I am modeling the new car seat. 

Here is Will modeling his 30 week baby bump:

Now I am pretending to hold the baby in the blanket I crocheted for him, you can see the bassinet we plan to use when we first bring him home:

We got a little gift bag at Babys R Us when we registered and there was a newborn size diaper in it....it was so little and cute I dont think I have ever seen a diaper that small so here I am practicing the diaper changing:

Will pushes the baby swing:

Thats all for this post.....some upcoming dates im looking forward to are baby class next weekend (we are supposed to take pillows and a blanket....i hope that means we get to take naps!) and April 10th--Calvary Baptist (our home church) is having a baby shower for us.  Hopefully I can get some pictures from both of these events........oh yeah and May 6th.....the due date!
