3/4 There!!!!!!

Well, I'm 3/4 finished with being pregnant! I'm 30 weeks and well into my last trimester. Everything is still progressing normally with Zach. Starting at my appointment next week, the doctors will check me for dilation and all that fun stuff. It's all downhill from here... at least, that's what I'm telling myself!

The other night I had Braxton-Hicks contractions for over 2 hours.... they don't hurt, but you do just feel uncomfortable. So I'm really hoping that those are something that just happen sporadically! It wasn't easy to go to work the next day, let me tell you!

I went to a class on breastfeeding last night, and we start our childbirth classes in 2 weeks. It seems as though everything is starting to go by really fast! Of course, I'm sure most of that is just the nature of things, and then of course we do have a lot going on!

I'm ready for school to be finished, and by that I mean both my master's degree AND teaching! My last day of teaching is June 1 and believe me I've been counting down the days. I put in for my maternity leave today, and I'm set to come back the week of Thanksgiving (I thought it would be easier to start back on a short week). I'm really ready for my master's to be done. I think I'm just over school at this point! But on the plus side I get finished with that in July, actually pretty close to my due date, so that will be a relief.

Heidi's doing well. She's set for her ultrasound in the first week of June, and she's really excited to find out what they're having. Wedding plans are well underway as well!

Here are some pictures of Zach's room, which is almost finished. It's done all in teddy bears playing sports, with blue and white paint. I can't take credit for any part of it, not even where things are hung on the walls - it was all Chris. I personally think it's as cute as can be and I wouldn't change a thing!






Hope everyone has an easy end to the school year! I'm hoping that when I'm not exhausted from working full time, I'll be able to blog more regularly (until Zach gets here, that is!).
