30 week update

We haven't updated in a while - simply because I didn't really know what to say. There didn't seem to be anything real eventful happening but after a friend asked me about things last night I realized we have had a few developments.

First, we painted the baby's room and have actually started referring to it as that rather than just calling it the spare room. It is a tan color - allowing for a boy or girl and not looking too babyish. We also assembled the changing table and crib. With the purchase of bedding, things should start to actually look like a nursery in there. We left an extra twin bed in the room for guests to come enjoy being with Baby Todd.

The baby is moving so much more and now onlookers can see it move. We were out to dinner on Friday night with friends and someone across the table could see my belly jump. Later that night, another friend chased the baby around my belly with a gentle touch of her fingers. The kid got its exercise that night.

I'm also continuing to get bigger and bigger. I've been told that by November, I will be "huge" and "enormous". I've kind of quit taking it to heart - but keep asking J if I'm really getting too big. Even the pastor at church is predicting that, "this is going to be a boomer" - whatever that means. : )

The doctor is very positive about how things are going and allowed us to get to 32 weeks before she moves us to appointments every two weeks. We are still just monthly for now. I'm measuring right on and she was surprised that I'm not sporting any stretch marks yet - we'll see if that sustains.
