34 Weeks!!

Yay, we made it! 34 weeks is a big milestone for us. 11 weeks ago we weren’t for sure we would make it this far in our pregnancy and now we are here. Today officially ends my modified bed rest and I am now able to do normal activities and go back to work. I am anxious to see what the week will bring and how I will handle it. I am hopeful that things will go well and that I can go a couple more weeks before the baby comes. This past week was my last week on bed rest but my doctor told me to slowly increase my activity so that it wouldn’t be all at once. So I did some things around the house and with the baby’s room. Tuesday I had lunch with friends; which was nice because who knows how long it will be before I get a chance to do that again. Then on Thursday I went up to Frankfort with Jonathan for the whole day. I wanted to see if I could stay up that long and I did. While he went to work I went to visit my Grandmother. Then I had lunch with some co-workers and after lunch visited with others that didn’t go to lunch. After lunch Jonathan’s work had a baby shower for us. It was so nice of them to do and we really enjoyed it. It was nice for the attention to be on Jonathan for a change (even if most of it was still on the mommy-to-be at least the daddy-to-be got some as well). We got some nice gifts and of course had cake and punch, yum. Later that night was our last child care class. This class was at Central Baptist and was a basic child care class. We were only taking it at CB because it was free there; however, we left in the middle of the class because it wasn’t very helpful, the class was too big to learn anything. Friday was our 5 year anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since we got married. We didn’t do a whole lot that day but we did go see the Hangover. Jonathan had really wanted to see it and he did enjoy it (I didn’t think it was as funny as he did but it had its moments). Then we enjoyed a nice dinner at home together. On Saturday we had our maternity photo shot. That was a lot of fun and the photographer will hopefully have the proofs online within a week. I will post as soon as they are ready. I’m hoping we get some really good shots. After our photo shot we went to dinner and shopped a little bit. It was nice to spend the afternoon out together, something we hadn’t been able to do in awhile. Today (Sunday) we went to Sunday School and church and are now relaxing before my big day back at work. This coming week will be very busy with me back at work along with family coming to visit, I am looking forward to it!

Here is a picture of me at 34 weeks. I think this will probably be the last time I wear this shirt. It has gotten too tight and is a bit short now (crazy that a shirt is too short for me, who do they think would wear it, lol.).
