only 6 weeks left!!!

here i am at week 34

wow. time sure has flown by.

derek has been very busy working on the baby room this past week. he has painted the room white and is planning to put yellow trim along the bottom and door frames. he has done such a great job! it will be nice when he's finished so that we can have our living room back :)

we also had our first (of six) prenatal class this week on tuesday. it was good. i learned a few things about delivery and such.

we went to a Labour & Delivery class last night at the hospital. We learned much more extensively about the process of labour and what tools they will be using on me in the hospital. it was very informative. It was especially neat because the nurses who presented the class, might be there during my labour and they spoke about what goes on specifically in the hospital where we will have our baby.

a strange, noteworthy thing happened today...after several months of having pain to walk, the pain is gone. i figure baby repositioned him/herself today and gave some relief to my tendons/ligaments. i just hope baby is still head down and didn't go posterior or anything. i don't figure this pain-free walking will last, but for today, i'm enjoying and appreciating it--thank you baby!

so, with just six or so weeks left, we still have lots of stuff to do around the house. we are so excited for the arrival of our little one and are enjoying our last few weeks "just the two of us."

the grandparents have booked their flights! mom & dad salmon are arriving feb 23 for 2 weeks and mom gagne has booked her flight for march 19. should be good times.

peace
