Week 34 - Happy New Year!

Well it's officially time to get back to work so here I am posting in my blog :) I really didn't take too much time off over the holidays but with all the snow and the fact that the holiday's fell on Thursdays it felt like a nice break regardless.

The reality that we are 6+ weeks from our due date is finally setting in...good thing because that really isn't that far off. I started on getting a bag packed for the hospital just in case and have most of the essentials in there at this point. We have most of the major items in the nursery put together and I put the finishing touches on our baby registries over the break so I'm feeling somewhat on top of things.

We are nearing the end of all our "get ready to have baby classes" but the next couple weeks are pretty packed with the rest of them. This week we had classes Tuesday and Wednesday nights and then we have two back to back classes this Sunday followed by more classes next Tuesday and Thursday evenings. You would think from all the classes that we'll be super prepared...we shall see I guess! We are feeling somewhat prepared but I think when the time comes we'll still be overwhelmed (aren't all first time parents?).

Mady has been very active lately; I feel her little kicks in my upper belly throughout most of the day. Its always fun when they are so pronounced that I can see them on the outside of my belly! At night she generally doesn't wake me up kicking but my shear size is starting to make sleep a little tougher to come by. Ah the joys of pregnancy! Overall I would say I have had a very easy one with the exception of my back pain which seems to be getting a bit better with the help of physical therapy every week or so.

We are getting very excited to meet our little bundle of joy!!
