32 weeks of birthing

We attended the second half of our birthing class at the hospital this week. I am so grateful that we took advantage of this opportunity because Scott and I both feel a lot more prepared in regards to making birthing decisions. Most importantly, Scott is going to be a great advocate for both baby and mommy when and if necessary! Birthing has a lot of potential outcomes, and I pray that we can be as natural as possible. However, God is in control and we are confident that He is by our side on all avenues.

 The baby's nursery is staring to fall together piece by piece. We are having fun adding little touches of glam to her room with crystal inspired knobs on drawers and doors. The hunt is currently on for the perfect wall shelf unit for above the changing dresser. There is one on The Land of Nod that is simple that I adore, so Scott may try to build it himself.  

I'm feeling antsy and ready to start washing clothes and blankets that we have been so generously receiving, but I'm going to do my best to hold off until after our upcoming baby shower. I can feel nesting kicking in at full force and it is a powerful thing! By the way, I am so very excited to see everyone this weekend!

Lately, I have been feeling more and more pregnant. That means Scott has been helping me a lot more with heavier chores around the house and I am so thankful for him. 

 I have also learned to turn the phone off and just put aside time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate. 

Even if it is just a 20 minute nap it can be amazing.
