4 weeks to go!

Hi there,

Nothing much new to write about this week. We finished getting the nursery ready this weekend - Chris did at least 5 loads of baby laundry and I sorted everything and finished putting everything away. We're all ready, we just need the baby!

This past weekend we had a class on caring for a newborn. It was pretty good in that it was practical, but again with the classes there's nothing you either haven't heard before or wouldn't figure out pretty quickly. There was one other couple in the class, and she and I had almost the exact same due date. The funny thing was how absolutely miserable and cranky she was. Chris and I felt bad for the instructor, this lady had to wait outside 10 minutes because the door was locked and no one heard the end of it for the 5 hour class. I have one more class left that I was debating whether to do, the one on breastfeeding, which I suppose I'll just go ahead and do in case I learn something new.

In a few days we have another appointment and this time with an ultrasound which will be cool. The ultrasound is to make sure that he turned over, which I believe he has but don't know. We'll also be getting an estimate of his weight, so I'm not sure whether I should advertise that for those people who haven't voted yet on the baby pool! I'm thinking I gained weight over these past two weeks, there was another spurt I think because today a few people were completely shocked when they saw my belly which was pretty funny. According to a baby website, he should weigh about 6 pounds and be about 19 inches long.

Hope you have a good week, will post some ultrasound pictures next week when he'll be considered full-term :0)
