Getting closer....

Tomorrow marks 35 weeks for us...only 5 more weeks to go (who knows, maybe less)! Our hospital bag is packed and we have had one of our birthing classes. We have two more this week and then we're done. We're both beyond excitement and anxious to meet our little one. We had been thinking the baby was a boy the last time we posted, but then we switched to a girl and back and forth. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Everyone has their own opinion too and we have about 50% people saying boy and 50% saying girl. Good thing it's a 50/50 chance....that means some of you will be right.

We had a doctor's appointment on Friday morning and everything checked out well except my blood pressure. They checked it when I first got to the office and it was "slightly elevated". Then, they decided to check it again a few minutes later and it was the same. Finally, they had me lay on my left side for a few minutes before checking it a third time. After that my blood pressure went down a tiny bit, but not enough for them to not do anything. So, I am now on modified bedrest. I am still able to work and go places. But, when I am home I have been given orders to be a "couch potato". On one hand the past few days have been tough as I am still nesting and want to clean/organize more. However, I have taken a nap the past two days which was absolutely wonderful. I might just take one today :-)!

The baby is continuing to move around like a crazy person. The greatest was last night....I woke up constantly feeling him/her move around and kicking. Jason kept waking up too as he would either have his hand on my belly and feel the baby or I would be up against him and he could feel the baby kicking him. Maybe we should start teaching our baby manners. We watched Raising Helen last night and we both thought this quote was funny:

(Pregnant woman talking to her pregnant belly) Sweetie,



what did Mommy say about kicking when she's having a



conversation? You need to wait until she's finished.



Thank you very much.







(Her sister, Helen) Did you just boss around the unborn?











(Pregnant woman) It's never too early to start learning



manners.

If you start disciplining your child before he/she is born, I'm having you committed! =) I too think the nursery is adorable! I can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew. Love you
