The Labor Dance

Sorry I haven't been blogging for a few weeks. I've been staying busy, and the last few weeks have flown by. I hope they don't slow down as we get to our final few weeks. We're getting so excited to meet her. I can hardly believe that I've already reached 30 weeks. The first several months really dragged by for me.

We had our childbirth class yesterday. It was an awesome class, but my favorite part was at the end when Andrew was picked to help our instructor demonstrate the "labor dance." He hates to "dance," and he hates demonstrating it even more. Now our instructor was an older, mostly retired lady--probably in her 70's, and as much as I'm sure he wanted to decline, it would have been hard to say no to her. So she was showing him how to rock her back and forth, until she warned him that next she would collapse and let him hold her weight, while still rocking her, and she was not kidding when she said she would let herself collapse. I could not stop laughing. I wish I had my camera!

I hope to have pictures of the baby's room sooner or later, but my guess is it won't be done until after she's born. We bought new flooring for the living room and kitchen, and right now that's taking up most of the room until Andrew gets it installed. Oh well, I guess I can get some "before" pictures for now, and then there can't be any better motivation than having a new baby in the house.

Our camera also broke several weeks ago, and we finally just have it back after sending it out to get fixed...which was much more of a hassle than it needed to be. So here are some current pictures of my baby bump, there's definitely no hiding it anymore!
