29 weeks and still kicking.

We had a little scare with Caleb yesterday, but everything is ok. I went for my 29 week checkup and since Caleb had been less active for the last few weeks the doctor decided to do a stress test. He passed the stress test with flying colors (kicking 25 times compared to the required 10), but the monitoring showed that I was having contractions. They sent me to the hospital for testing and determined I wasn’t having true contractions. What I was experiencing could be a pre cursor to contractions so they started me on muscle relaxers.  All is well for now, Caleb is still strong and healthy.  We made it to 29 weeks which is a huge blessing, and now we need to keep him in there to full term. I can't believe Christmas is 10 days away.

3rd Trimester Begins

We are now officially in the 3rd trimester.  Caleb's bedding arrived yesterday, and it is so cute.  After my Aunt Linda and Mom went to 11 fabric stores and couldn't find primary stripes anywhere, we decided on this peek a boo bedding.  I love the colors and all the different textures it has.  Now we can pick out the paint!  Our birthing class is going well.  We have been learning about the stages of labor and when it's too early to go to the hospital. 

Here's a pic of the bedding.

Birthing Class

27 weeks! My diabetes test came back negative, so bring on the pie!  We had our first childbirth class last night.  It is a faith based class, and we focused on the history of birthing in different cultures around the world.  Very interesting stuff!  We are attending the class at another couple's house in our area.  We are going twice a week because the other Mom is due in 6 weeks and this is normally a 7 week class.  I am excited about being informed on all aspects of birth and delivery while focusing on God's hand in it all.
