At 30 weeks pregnant we have a wee one, the length of a cucumber approximately 16 inches long and 3 lbs. The week was a bit rough, but mommy made it through with some bruises and sore muscles. After one of mommy's students accidently kneed mommy in the lower abdomen, mommy and daddy had a little scare because baby wasn't as active right away. With some time and a trip to Dr. Gosser, mommy and baby were given a clean bill of health and baby resumed kicking away. Extra precautions will be put in place for the last 2 weeks of school so that no more blows are delivered to mommy.
Mommy and daddy took tours of possible hospitals this week. We have it down between 2 that have completely different sets of pros and cons. In addition to this decision, we are looking forward to enrolling in and taking the lamaze and child preparation classes. Mommy and daddy still need to narrow down the names. We will be selecting 2 names for each gender and decide when we meet our lovely baby.
The third trimester is going to fly by and so many things remain on the to-do list. Daddy has the nursery mostly in order to pick up items being given to us by friends. The nursery will be full before we know it. There is one more bigger ultrasound scheduled for early June so we can monitor baby's size. Grandma and Grandpa Taylor are looking forward to seeing baby Stone and this will be the absolute first ultrasound grandma has ever seen. She is SOOO excited! Hopefully baby's gender will remain a secret through this photo opportunity.
From here on out baby will put on approximately a half a pound per week. So as our baby's brain continues to develop, they will also plump up to be ready for life with mommy and daddy.
Happy Mother's day to all the women in our lives!
Big Hug,
Justin and Erin
