Week 29/30 Update

Hello everyone!

We had a great appointment this morning and got to see our little man again. He was being a bit uncooperative for the ultrasound, but it actually worked out nicely because the tech was so sweet and used the 3D scan! So, we got a couple of cute close-ups of his face (sorry if they are a little hard to see). He kept holding his hand in front of his face so it was a bit tricky, but you can see his cute little nose, eyes and lips! Everything else is looking good. My placenta is still a bit close to my cervix, so my doctor is going to continue to monitor its movement over the next few weeks. We return to the doctor on January 5 for our last "monthly" visit. Then we'll move to 2 week intervals and then down to every week. I can't believe how fast time is flying! Only 10 more weeks and our little guy will make his big debut.

Also, we're picking our crib up tomorrow (yay!) so I'll post some pictures once Ryan has a chance to assemble it. Hopefully this weekend :-) And here's last week's belly pic:

Hope everyone is having an excellent week so far!

Love,

p.s. As most of you know, we have chosen's Baby Debo's name and have decided to keep this a surprise until he arrives. No amount of badgering will convince us to tell you - so you'll just have to wait to find out! Stop asking for hints...we are not going to tell you :-)

New belly pics!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week with family and hope that everyone else did too! Personally, I enjoyed eating everything I wanted without feeling guilty! It was nice for me to have a few days off of work as well to get some things done around the house. We're now officially ready for the baby's furniture as we've completed all of the painting and replaced the carpet in the nursery. And I'm thrilled that his crib should be here in 2 weeks! YAY! I'm excited to put it together (and really I mean Ryan putting it together) and get his bedding set up. Hopefully his dresser will be delivered sometime in early January.

I took my first prenatal yoga class this week - and my first yoga class ever. It was very relaxing and not too crunchy granola for me. So, I think I'll keep it up to relieve some of the aches and pains that I'm feeling as Baby Debo gets bigger! I just hope he didn't get all of Ryan's height genes - my small torso will be bursting by February!

We also booked all of our childbirth classes, so we'll be very busy in January. I'm glad to get these on the calendar though and check one more thing off of my list. Pediatrician is next, so if you have a recommendation, please send it my way.

We hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend! It just started snowing here, so we'll see if anything actually acumulates...We have our next doctor's appointment on 12/15 where we'll have another ultrasound. I'll be sure to post some pictures for you all to see! Only 12 more weeks and our little guy will be here!

Love,

Amy
