30 Weeks!

I can't believe I have only 10 weeks to go! Exciting and scary at the same time. We still have so much to do to get ready for the baby. We've painted her room, but haven't set up the crib or put anything on the walls yet. We'll be working on all that this week. Jason and I also started child birth education classes last week. The educator is great and laid back, and all the other students are midwife patients as well. It's a very diverse group. A few other couples haven't decided on names either. In case you're wondering, we are leaning toward Clara Sloan or Sloan Parker, but we won't officially choose a name until we see her. I think a few people are getting a bit frustrated with us, but we both feel that we need to meet her before we force a name on her that might not fit.

I am now seeing my midwive every 2 weeks. At the last check-up, my fundal height was on the large side of normal, so the baby seems to be growing quite well. She's moving so much now, and the movements are sometimes so strong. I really feel her when I'm lying still. She might be the kind of baby that likes to be walked around and rocked a lot. I envision her spending a lot of time in the baby sling.

I'm getting another ultrasound in 2 weeks. I have sleep apnea, so my midwive just wants to monitor her growth a little more closely, even though she seems to be doing just fine. So, stay tuned for pics of the little one!
