30 weeks

Well, the baby's room is nearly done. The walls are painted, the baseboard trim and door and window casing are in and painted, the new carpet is in, the rocking chair, dresser, and finally the crib are in... The last project in there is the closet; it was in a pretty crummy state not long ago, with large cracks between the pieces of sheetrock and a gap all the way around where the top of the wall meets the ceiling. This was a pretty chilly closet last year, so it really needed a little love. Josh's dad has been working in there, patching and sanding and patching and sanding. Eventually it will get a coat of white paint and then we will put the shelf back in and the door back on.

Recent tidbits you might find interesting/entertaining:

-I had my 30 week appointment today. My belly is measuring around 31.5 cm. That's just a touch ahead of schedule, fun.
-Josh got to feel (with a little midwife direction) where the baby's rear end, back, and head were at my appointment.
-The baby gets the hiccups at least once a day.
-I went to a breastfeeding class last night and managed not to kill the girl in the back row who was bragging that after 8 months, she had only gained 2.5 pounds.
-We have narrowed down our list of pediatricians to two.
-I don't feel kicks and punches much anymore, just a lot of squirming and repositioning. There isn't as much room in there as there once was!
-I passed my glucose tolerance test (that was actually two weeks ago, but it's been awhile).
-The baby's heartrate was 150 this week. Two weeks ago, it was 140. Prior to that, it had always been 160.
-Newborn diapers are about the size of an index card. OK, not quite that small, but still. Very, very small. And cute.

That's all for this week!
