30 years and 30 Weeks!

This has been a pretty easy week for me (thank god!) especially after the little scare that we had a few weeks back.  I'm feeling good and not getting any crazy aches and pains.  Brandon has been a good boy and giving his mom a break!

I think that after our trip to the hospital the reality has really begun to set in.  It's a bit scary to know that B will be here before we know it and that our lives will be focused solely on this little person. We're excited to meet him, but we're also ok enjoying the calm before the storm.

His nursery is starting to come together!  We really wanted to wait until after our baby showers to begin putting his room together to help see what else we needed.  With all the generous gifts from our family and friends we really don't need a lot!  We're so thankful for to them...they've made our adventure into parenthood an easy one so far!  We will post a picture of the nursery when we are all done with it.

My sweet husband...oh how thankful I am to have him.  This part may get a little sappy, but I just really want to give Josh a shout out for how amazing he's been.  Ok so, when we found out that we were pregnant I bought him a daddy to be book.  I was really hoping that he would prove me wrong and begin reading it.  Well, just like I expected I sadly saw the book collecting dust on his nightstand.  I would give him a hard time and say "well good thing you're really putting that book to use..." I tried not to let it get to me cause I know that men will just do things on their own pace. Although, it did make me double guess whether or not he was truly into this pregnancy as I was...it's so bad to think that way, i know, but hey I'm a woman and add that with an unnecessary amount of hormones, I can't help but over think.

Anyway, after chalking up the book situation, Josh tells me the other day that he took his book to work (to read!) ...I was really surprised that after so many months he finally decided to start reading it.  I'm not sure what got into him, but hey, I'll take it!!  It's so funny to have him so excited to tell me all the new things that he's learned so far.  It's quite cute and I just love him more and more because of it.  The other day I came home to the nursery rearranged and organized...Oh god, talk about waterworks!!!  He later told me that his book said that this new arrangement is the most efficient way for a nursery.  Ok, I've always felt that when it comes to baby knowledge, that I knew a lot more than Josh, but after this new information, I was left picking my jaw up off the floor.  God, there's nothing worse in life than your husband proving you wrong!!

Brandon so far at 30 weeks:

Length: 15.7 inches about the size of a cabbage

Weight: Almost 3 pounds!

According to thebump....His skin is beginning to smoothen out and is now able to grasp a finger!
