We are getting so close to welcoming this little girl into our home! I can't believe there are only 7 weeks left until the expected date of arrival. I told AJ tonight that I think she may come early - it seems I am beginning to have the symptoms of "pre-labor." I have definitely been having Braxton Hicks contractions, have been getting really tired lately, and have had some nausea. We had our first "refresher birthing class" on Monday - which is why I remember these symptoms! It was a great time of course, watching really old videos and listening to the instructor. Luckily it was only 2 hours and we only have one more class! It is definitely worth it since it gives us a huge discount on the actual delivery.
This little girl is giving me more pain lately. Still nothing severe of course, but we were walking through the grocery store yesterday and I kept getting these sharp pains in my leg. I guess she kept hitting a nerve somewhere and it was not something I enjoyed! She continues to push really hard and sometimes she pushes all the way from one side of my stomach to the other.
This past weekend we took one last trip before we are limited to being within an hour of Springfield. We decided to go to St. Louis and take Preston to the Zoo! Several of our friends came along with their kids and we had a great time - even though it rained! We had about 3 good hours before it started raining, then we stuck to the animal houses for an hour or so. Preston loved the elephants and snakes! We think the snakes were his favorite, so that is the shirt we got for him. Whenever we left the first couple of animals he cried but he soon got over it when he saw the next animal. Preston had a great time - even skipped his nap! He slept for about 5 minutes on the way back to Jenny and Joel's house and then would not go back to sleep.
Other big news - AJ finally got his truck! It took a lot of looking and duking it out with each other to agree on several different issues, but we worked it all out and he loves the final product. Now, he just needs to finish his masters degree completely and then our agreement is finalized!
No other news to report that I can think of. I have a doctor's appointment next Tuesday so if there is anything to report I'll let ya know!
Have a fantastic week and weekend!
Joel, Everett, Preston and AJ
Look out for that snake!!
The new truck!
Preston really likes riding in the truck
33 weeks - getting big!
BTW, you don't look big to me at all. You look fantastic! (Sorry to hear about the pain though - I definitely remember that.)
