Less than 3 weeks to go!

We're less than 3 weeks from the due date, and I'm down to having weekly OB appointments. We had our childbirth prep class last weekend, which turned out to be very informative. So far I've been quite impressed with Alta Bates, and with my medical practice.

I'm wrapping up work during the next week, so I'm going a bit crazy trying to get everything in order. The house has descended again into a bit of chaos, but oh, well! Just getting ready for the rest of our life, eh?

Baby continues to be very active, kicking me and squirming around, which is a good thing, of course!

We've recovered from the absolutely lovely baby shower Bertie and Laurna threw for us - I had no idea our house could accommodate that many people! We do hope everyone enjoyed themselves. Pictures to come soon!

The changing table has been installed! How exciting. It even works in the location I planned for it. What an added bonus!

A couple of days ago Brandon put his ear to my belly to listen to the baby moving around. He likened it to listening to a grapefruit moving around inside a balloon filled with water.

I felt this should be recorded for posterity.

2 months to go!

Yes, so most of our updates have recently been baby-related, but hey, it's a big deal! We're heading into the 8th month and can hardly believe it! Life continues as usual with work and school, with the addition of an increasingly active small thing elbowing Sylvia in the ribs!

Let the purchases begin, har har!

We had the ultrasound today, and the tech told us it's a girl. And she looks healthy and has everything in the right places!

Exciting week ahead

We're going to find out the gender of the little one on Thursday. Stay tuned here for info.
