Week 33 & 34

I am 34 weeks pregnant now & feeling it more all the time. The closer we get the slower time seems to creep. I can't wait to hold my baby boy for the first time. Let me catch you up on what's been going on lately. Last weekend we were showered with gifts in San Antonio & I had a really great time. I love getting to go home and see so many people that I love. The shower was great fun & we came home loaded down with "stuff." We actually borrowed my grandparent's truck because our crib arrived the week prior and we needed a way to get it back to Cove with us. So, during the shower Matt picked up the crib and we made it home, unloaded it and assembled it all in one night. It was a lot, but we love it.
I've been having some abnormal contractions lately (too frequent, too strong, etc.) so I've been talking with my midwife pretty frequently and she wants me to take it a little easier for the next couple of weeks. For now that means I'm going to cut back on work hours, run minimal errands and naps are mandatory when I have to be on my feet that evening. It sounds nice but really I just feel somewhat lazy and like I'm being a wimp. I don't like that aspect. Anyway, Matt has been so great about helping with dinners, laundry, dishes, etc. He is so encouraging and helpful and I know that I am so blessed to have such a great husband!
We also started our childbirth classes this weekend, which exciting. We are taking the classes with a midwife in Killeen who we may consider using for future births. I guess this is sort of her interview! Anyway, I enjoyed it very much and am excited to go back next week.
Saturday night we went to see the movie Fireproof at the local theater. Our church reserved a showing of it and sold tickets. We had a really good turn out and in spite of my skepticism, I really enjoyed the movie. Sure there was some cheese, but all in all the acting wasn't bad, the script was good and it made us talk about and evaluate our marriage. Anytime we talk about our relationship, I love it. I feel like we are growing and communicating and those are very important to me.
I have pictures from the San Antonio shower & the updated nursery with furniture, but I haven't uploaded them from my camera yet, so stay tuned. Thanks for reading, until next time...
