We are slowly approaching the big change in our life. We will be at 31 weeks this week and for the first time...I really feel pregnant. What I mean is over the last 3 days, I have experienced kicks in the ribs, back aches and not being able to get comfortable in the bed! I have had days that I just felt "off" and tired, but these past fews days have been different. I'm still loving the pregnancy though. I just assume that Riley is running out of room and he doesn't mean to make Mommy feel uncomfortable.
Jeremy and I had some maternity pictures done a couple of weeks ago. Aunt Vicki graciously did them for us. It was a blast. The nursery is now complete with new paint and a new floor. It also has a very cute baby bed in place between the windows. I'm very proud of Jeremy. It only took us about an hour and half to get the bed and the drawer put together. I then put the rug that matches the theme in front of the bed and Jeremy just couldn't resist putting the lamp on the table and turning it on. We left it on all night. I also put Riley's Pottery Barn Chair together. Hercules even got excited over the new furnishings of the room.Things are falling into place and if we keep it up we will be ahead of schedule at completing the room. My goal was to be complete by the end of November so that all I had to do in December was wash baby clothes and rest.
We go back to the doctor on Thursday. We are now going every two weeks. The last time we went she said Riley was about 2 pounds or a little over and she also said his head was down. I was worried because I thought oh my gosh he is going to be early. Little did I know, this was normal and he could change positions still. Our final birthing class is tomorrow. Some people say that they are a waste of time, but I think differently. Sure, they can't tell you exactly what is going to happen during your labor, but they can give you an idea of the "process". It has been very helpful to Jeremy and me especially being first time parents. Jeremy has paid very close attention to what his role is and how he can help during those painful moments. I knew he was, but wasn't for sure until last night at 3AM when he was rubbing my back the way she demonstrated in class. I felt so loved and just his thoughtfulness made the aches subside to some degree.
