It was a beautiful weekend in Minneapolis! The temps were in the 60s, so my newly engaged sister and I took a lovely walk to the Stone Arch Bridge. I am wearing the same outfit I wore 4 weeks ago, and it's laughable to look back at that pic because I thought I was "really showing" then, but actually.... yeah, not so much. I mean, I WAS showing, but the bump has certainly expanded rapidly since then!
We started our childbirth and parenting classes last Monday - the first class was pretty informative in terms of learning more about the changes in anatomy during pregnancy. We watched one video of 3-4 births which was interesting - it really wasn't as graphic as I thought it would be, but maybe we'll get some more videos later :) The relaxation practice felt kind of silly but maybe it'll be helpful... we'll see! We found out we don't get a tour of the unit anymore due to H1N1 but they are going to try to integrate a photo tour or something into the class instead - kind of disappointing but oh well! I'm most interested in learning more about the various medical interventions to help make an informed decision about things during the labor process.
I have definitely noticed that I'm getting short of breath VERY quickly now - after eating a large meal especially. Everything is just all shoved up in there, so space is getting scarce! Baby is still moving around a lot and I'm loving it - it is definitely one of my favorite parts about being pregnant! She hasn't caused me any pain or even mild discomfort, but when she stuck some appendage into my hip bone for awhile that was quite an odd sensation :)
Less than 3 months to go now and starting to kind of freak out about getting everything done, although I know we still have time. We still have to do.... oh, everything - all that has been done so far is painting the walls (still need to do the trim). We have the dresser and bookshelf but haven't put them together. As everyone always tells me, babies don't need much right away, but I think it still would be nice to at least have the room set up prior to the birth so we don't have to worry about that with a newborn :) I guess it's time to get our butts in gear!
