Well We had our 30 week appointment check today-and as usual it was AMAZING! The coolest part was that we got to catch a glimpse of Little Rock!! Initially the midwife stated that she would do a quick ultrasound because we're now to the point where she would like to see Little Rock head down. She felt around and got the heartbeat low-so she was fairly certain that Little Rock was indeed head down. However; with a quick look of PLEASE please can we check with the ultrasound--she said sure!
Little Rock looks pretty amazing! He/she was blinking its little eyes--IT WAS SO COOL! Just floating--head down---blinking its eyes...and sucking! It had its left hand up above the head and its right hand was just hanging out. When the midwife tried to get too close to the baby--he/she took her hand up and gave the --"Unn-uhh...No more looking for you--" And turned his/her head-so we couldn't see it anymore! OH yeah--and the midwife was able to pickup on the cheeks--are baby has some cute chubby cheeks already:) IT.Was. AMAZING!
So-I'm measuring at 32 weeks--still 2 weeks ahead (again this is just fine). I've caught up with some of my weight gain that I didn't gain from the last couple weeks....Doing what I can:) The heartbeat was around 140 beats.
Russ and I are doing really well. He is trying to survive these last few weeks of school. I'm trying to survive him surviving his last few weeks of school! Della will be coming on Saturday, which will be amazing. She will be able to help lighten the load here--so Russell can concentrate on his schoolwork--instead of helping me with my constant nesting "issues"! We have some of our showers coming up and I'm really excited to begin this phase of the pregnancy. I had all these milestones along the way to somehow shorten the 41 weeks of baking our Little Rock. Now all these things are coming up that I thought were FOREVER AWAY....I can't wait. I can't wait for us to give birth. I can't wait to be a mom. I can't wait to be a family.
Here is a picture of the crib--MY SIL & BIL gave us our shower present early--the bedding is soo great! Russ & I completed the crib tonight. And yes we have bumpers....There are so many controversial topics to decide upon: bumpers, circumcision, standard vaccine schedule, co-sleeping, and the list doesn't stop.

I'm glad it all went well!
Also, it's probably none of my business, but I'm gonna throw in a "no" vote on the circumcision.
Hey Will! I appreciate your input-honestly, that is the way we are leaning. It is a procedure that was a given, but now has turned into more of a cosmetic surgery. It is really interesting to see what the rest of the world is doing...
That crib looks familiar. : ) The bedding looks great in it!! Glad it is getting used by such a cool baby!!
I'm with Will on the circumcision thing. We talked about it. I feel it's not necessary and there are billions of men around the world that have not had it done and they are fine.
Isn't it amazing to see how the little guy/girl is hanging out inside?!? Wait until he/she is born and he/she stretches or wiggles and you will be able to make out moves that he/she did inside. It's SOOO cool!!! Glad for the chubby cheeks. They ROCK!!!
Love and miss you guys bunches. See you in a couple of weeks. : )
