School's out for summer!! for me anyway! :)
I can't believe its been 4 weeks again since I've posted anything!! Hopefully I'll post more often now that I'm done with school :)
I started my maternity leave on Friday woohoo!!
As I'm sitting here typing peanut is moving around and pushing his bum into my ribs!! He seemed to be doing a little dance about a minute ago... oh and I've tried to capture his movements on video but he seems to know and as soon as I press record - nothing!
Let's see... I've had 2 appointments with my midwife since my last blog!! One at 32 weeks and one at 34... my blood pressure was good and peanuts heart beat was 140bpm... fundal height was 34 cm at 34 weeks... Jo said that he is a good baby! He's in the perfect position... head down, bum up... and Lord willing he'll stay there until he is ready to meet us! My next appt is June 8th and hopefully Dave will be back by then!!!
I've been feeling really good although the past two nights my tummy has hurt a bit... and my back is killing me!! The girl I get a massage from got married on Saturday and is on her honey moon for the next two weeks!! It is mostly the right side of my back that hurts.. and I think its because most of his weight is on the right side. It is so funny to look at my belly sometimes... he seems to be sticking out on my right side (his shoulder?) and then nothing on the left. I asked my friend Connie (from school) if she wanted to feel my belly b/c its so hard on the right side and soft on the left... she was pretty amazed :) One thing I noticed is that not many people have asked me to touch my belly... Even when I asked Connie if she wanted to feel my belly her response was "ooh can I?" I have always heard of women saying that random people would just come up and touch their belly. I have not had that.. yet?
Anyway, I can't wait until Dave is home... I miss him soooo much and I want to see his reaction when he sees and feels peanut moving around. He's going to be an awesome daddy!!

28-30 weeks!
I will start by apologizing for not updating my blog the past 4 weeks!! I had a busy month!! I went home to the states for a week and my wonderful family planned a baby shower for me! It was sooo nice! If I had planned to stay a bit longer I may have been stuck there another 2 or 3 weeks because of the volcano eruption in Iceland!! If only... haha. Although I would have missed my 28 week appointment with my midwife... so I guess its better that I'm back here!
I measured 30cm for the fundal height which is bigger than expected but maybe it was just how peanut lying :) My last appointment at 24 weeks I measured 24cm... just to give you an idea.
Peanut is moving around ALL the time!! It really is the coolest thing ever! Sometimes I just lay on the couch or lay in the tub and watch him move around in my belly :) It makes me feel so blessed and thankful to God for allowing me to have another life growing inside me!! It is the most wonderful thing I have experienced by far.
30 weeks - 150 lbs (24th April)
29 weeks - 151 lbs (17th April)
I don't have my 28 week picture since my mom hasn't emailed it to me yet :-P but I was 28 weeks at my baby shower so here is a picture :)
