30 Weeks and 25 LBS

Today marks week 30 of my 40 (this kid better not be late) week pregnancy journey. I am 25 LBS heavier and starting to feel pretty uncomfortable. My back pains have returned and apparently I am getting the pregnancy waddle. It must be more comfortable to waddle than to walk straight because I don't feel like I am intentionally doing it. We just signed up for an Express Birthing Class (by Express I mean a 6 hour class instead of a 10 hour class) in early May which should be interesting. I am not sure what to expect but they better not show us any 1970's vaginal births or I will surely pass out. In fact, I don't want to see any birthing video's. I don't plan on looking below my waist when I give birth so why would I want to see a video of someone else below the waist? Trevor and I are getting really excited to see this little guy. I had a dream that I saw his face as clear as day in an ultrasound and he was so cute. My mother-in-law just sent us the whole travel car seat/stroller system with an extra base which made everything seem more real. Only 10 more weeks to go!

The Nether Regions have Disappeared.

It occurred to me the other day that I can no longer see "down there" when it comes to pruning the garden. It has become dangerous to even attempt to get the razor in that region. You can't hold a mirror in the shower because it just fogs up so I did what any logical person would do...I asked my husband to trim me up! Without even thinking about it he agreed to the task. That is true love my friends!

The Pregnant Bridesmaid

This pregnancy has been quite a journey I must say. This last weekend I was honored to be a bridesmaid in my dear friend Sarah's wedding in Cincinnati, OH. Thank God she picked out a dress that would look good on a bump. Sadly the alterations were more expensive than the actual dress. On wedding day I was the first to walk down the aisle and then had numerous people come up to me at the reception and say, "I had no idea you were even pregnant until you walked by me and I saw a side profile!" I think I pulled it off quite nicely. And although it was my first sober wedding and I had to take care of my drunk husband all night, it was a beautiful wedding nonetheless. Thank you Sarah and Ryan for letting me be a part of your big day!
