We're in the 30's!

My Week 30 Appt was quick and uneventful. The heartbeat was at 151 and everything is measuring right on target! Dr. Shimer pressed deep into my abdomen to locate his head and told me that he is all ready to go with his head in the downward position! Scary + exciting!

So I've gained another few pounds, making my total gain around 25 lbs already! I'm hoping at least a few of those are because of the recent swelling. Check out the nice thumbprint that lasts for minutes in my foot!
 

I've really started to feel the physical effects of this whole process in the last few weeks. Luckily, the rib issue has resolved (knock on wood!), but overall my back/feet aching and level of exhaustion have continued to rise.
 

David and I went to infant safety and CPR class on Wednesday night. David missed one of his playoff hockey games to go, and it was cute to see that he put this as a priority. They reviewed a million home modifications and safety tips to consider that it makes you wonder how any kid has ever survived! The most valuable part was CPR and choking practice. Even though it wasn't the most fun thing we have ever done, it was a good thing for us to do together.

The definite highlight of the week is that Nico's room is painted!!! It looks awesome!!!

 

 

 

It turned out better than we imagined! All of the colors seem to fit together. We still have quite a few things to add (especially on the bare walls), but it's a work in progress! Thanks to my parents for getting us the curtains- they really tie the room together!

 
David ordered a really cute backpack for Nico online and had it personalized. It will be useful as a diaper bag for the next few years!

 

One of my patients gave us this bouncer, because he has been looking to get rid of it! I have some of the nicest patients and have received about 10 baby gifts in the past month (a few blankets, a lot of clothes, and a piggy bank)!

 

 

Little Miss Attention has found a good napping spot. The dogs can tell that something is up.
