29 weeks!

This week was a long one (I think as long as a 4 day work-week can feel) but we survived! We were supposed to get some snow (i.e. snowdays) but it was all rain :(

Besides an annoying cold this week and the exhaustion that has become my "new normal" I felt pretty good this week. It's weird how pregnancy changes into a "new normal." Kind of- yes my back and sciatic are still acting up, yes I'm ready for bed at 7, yes I am barely eating but that's all the norm and nothing crazy has happened. I made it through another week of work and we're just chugging along.

It's starting to feel closer now- in 11 weeks I could have a newborn in my arms- MY baby. What an odd concept.

Babelet is so lucky- we have received so many amazing gifts already! The nursery is filling up with baby gear and nursery essentials. My mom has volunteered to do a bunch of the laundry when I'm still in the hospital so we aren't going to open/wash too many clothes because who knows how big this baby will be. Dave was 9+ lbs so if this baby takes after him we wouldn't even need newborn sizes.

We start some of our classes next weekend- I'm sure that will make it feel even more real- especially for Dave. He's trying to feel connected but I know it's nothing like how I feel with babelet reminding me it's there every 2.5 seconds. This baby sure craves attention!

After my shower last weekend I started thinking about Baby Books. My mom and Dave's mom both pulled out our baby books to share with us and it had me thinking about how I want to do Babelet's Book. Do I want to scrapbook it, buy one and fill it in, make a digital book and get it printed? Since I usually lean towards digital scrapbooking- I started googling and wasn't too excited about the options I found. Eventually, I found one on mixbook that I think I like. I decided to do the pregnancy journal one on mixbook so I can buy it and make sure I like it before I spend a year creating one for the baby's 1st year. So, hopefully by May or June I'll have decided but in the meantime that's one more thing off my list!
