Week 30

It's hard to believe that in only 10 weeks (give or take a couple) we'll have a little girl. We'll be holding our daughter who we already love so dearly in our arms. Of course I'm not totally filled with daydreams of how great it's gonna be. First I've got to go through the most excruciating pain of my life so there's that and then there's the crying, the poo. . . I'm content with where things are; I'm in no hurry as of now.

Yesterday Rocky and I went in for our 30 weeks check up and things couldn't be better. I hesitantly stepped on the scale this time after last time's "you must have had a good thanksgiving" comment, but the scale was once again my friend saying that I'd somehow (must have been a miracle) lost 1/2 a pound. Blood pressure-- still perfect. Measurements-- textbook. Heartbeat-- steady. She's head down and ready to go as of now though that could change (though we're really hoping it won't).

Today we head up to Dallas for Winter Conference. I'm actually excited about it this year. I've only got 2 jobs so i'll be able to chill more than I've been able to for the past couple of years. I'll be working on another upcoming conference in San Antonio though so I'll need the extra time. I'm sincerely looking forward to a few weeks from now when I'll be working only part time. It seems like there's still so much to do as far as getting the nursery ready and such.

We were in Louisiana visiting family the 16-26. On December 17, we had our first baby shower. It was at Judson. There were about 30 people who came (or at least dropped by gifts). It was pretty fun. Emily who was on STINT with us was there; we hadn't seen her in a long time so it was really good to catch up. It was so cool to feel so cared for by the people of the church.

From experience, I knew I probably wouldn't be getting alot of stuff from our registry at the shower and it turned out to be true once again. We did get lots of clothes and blankets and stuff we needed (all of it in pink of course) but not too much from our registry. I feel like we've got SO much stuff already though I know there's tons more to get. It's crazy to see how much stuff a baby adds to a household. Here's a picture of me and our daughter on christmas.
