Less than 10 weeks left

I can't believe I am almost 31 weeks along! I feel like I've been in the twenties forever. I am really looking forward to my shower to see family and friends before Sophie is born and to finally feel prepared at home. It really hits when you think that I could give birth at 38 weeks, so that leaves 7 weeks left..or 39 weeks so that leaves 8 weeks, etc!

I've still been feeling pretty well - "the waddle" has definitely started and the bathroom breaks are intensifying. Still have not had any Braxton Hicks (false labor) contractions that I can feel yet. Sophie is now a little over 16 inches long and weighs about 3 1/2 pounds. She is actually heading into a growth spurt!

Tonight is the second week of prepared labor classes. Spence and I have been enjoying them as it puts us in the mindset of our upcoming miracle. Tonight we are going to be talking epidurals (hell, yes.) and massage. Sounds like a good class to me. Last week we focused on breathing and relaxation techniques and even watched a video of a birth.

For those of you that are interested, I came across a site that shows what my body has been through these past 8 months. Crazy, huh?

In house news I am hoping to get some new shots of our kitchen since I still have to show you our new chandelier and curtains. :)
