It's hard to believe that there are less then 100 days until we meet this little guy. Pregnancy is still going well. My tiredness comes in spurts or should I say growth spurts. Whenever we are growing I am soo tired. Work seems to be going well too. It's keeping me active, which is a good thing.
This past Saturday, Dan, Ryan and my Dad worked in the baby's room. It's walls are freshly painted with a beige color and white trim. When it's finished I'll post a picture or two. After painting we went to Simi Valley for my cousin Tony's wedding. The wedding was beautiful and it was a good time with the family. Above are a few pictures from the wedding.

New Due Date
This past Thursday evening we had our second birthing class. We are learning a lot about laboring and some good relaxation techniques also. I've been taking my swissball to class and have learned some good comfortable positions and stretches to use even now. So far its been worth our time.
Before we got to the class I had my regular check up with the Midwife. This time we went over my last blood work and the ultrasound I had on March 11th. Everything is going great! They could see all the chambers of his heart, all his organs, his spine and the right amount of amniotic fluid. Then he weighed 11 oz. also. The interesting thing is that the ultrasound showed that the baby and my uterus were 7-9 days farther ahead then we originally thought. If it was only a couple of days they wouldn't have changed the due date, but since it is obviously more than that I now have a new due date.... July 30th. That just so happens to be my mom's birthday. We'll see what happens. So on Thursday I went from being 22 weeks along to being 23 weeks along. I know that it just changed by a week, but it makes me feel as if the baby is coming so much sooner! The sound of August seemed farther away then July. None the less we are super excited to hear that all is well with our little guy. We praise God and continue to thank Him for this amazing blessing and miracle.
I'm just now putting this update on the blog because I was super exhausted Thursday evening after our class and worked all day yesterday. By the end of the week I'm pooped! Yea for weekends!!

As of Now...
Dan and I have started our birthing classes. Our next one is Thursday evening. It seems like it will be a pretty informative and hands on class. The teacher is a bit crazy but definitley keeps your attention. Which is a good thing when you've been at work all day and then have to sit through at 2 1/2-3 hour class! I think we'll learn a lot of practical things for labor. My first thoughts were that I wanted to learn other techniques besides lamaze and thankfully this teacher is teaching us a bunch of different things not just lamaze. That's good. :)
On Thursday we also have our next appointment with our Midwife. As always we are excited to hear the heartbeat again! That is so amazing! The little guy's movements are becoming more and more noticeable. I can't wait until Dan can feel him.
The pregnancy is going well. I still need lots of sleep and sometimes it's hard to come by. I've been having a hard time sleeping. So last night I got the Snoogle pillow. Dan wants to give it a name because it is rather large and takes up a lot of room in our bed. I will say that I slept really well last night! I didn't even get up in the middle of the night. Just the way I like to sleep! I'm pretty excited about my new pillow. I was also having a tough time with my allergies. But for some random reason they have calmed down. I haven't been taking anything either. I'm very thankful. I was pretty miserable sneezing all the time! Now I have an occasional itchy throat. I can deal with that. I'm starting to sound less congested also, which is a plus. I was beginning to think that this could be a really long three months of allergies. I will continue to pray that things go well and give thanks to the Lord for my improved state. :)
