Week 33 Update

It's been awhile again but we have been very busy! We started taking our child birthing classes in February so our Monday nights are shot! We really enjoy our instructor though and I think this class will prepare us enough to have this baby. We are 33 weeks and I'm quite large (as you can see in the picture) and yet I think I will still be getting larger! I have been pretty uncomfortable lately and sleeping has been a challenge but baby is moving and doing well. Our doctor gave me some stretches to do each day and I have felt some improvement. We've started going to the doctor every 2 weeks and now officially have all of our appointments scheduled. I am only able to travel long distances for a few more weeks so if you don't see us before the end of March and you live more than an hour away, you won't see us until after baby comes.
We finally have our crib and dresser! It is not the one that was back ordered though. We decided to look around after waiting for so long and found a set that actually fits us better. This set is a little smaller and doesn't overtake the room like the other one would have. I love being able to store baby's stuff in the dresser!

Zach and my dad put the crib and dresser together one Friday night. Zach also put together our travel system. It was fun to watch him read the directions and put together the crib. It was even more fun to watch him practicing with the stroller. He is going to be a wonderful father! The pictures beside are of the process and then the final product.
We've been looking at baby names recently. Zach has read through the baby book and put together a list of 100 names for a boy and 100 names for a girl. After reading all of them to me, we have narrowed it down to approximately 45-50 name of each. We will probably narrow the list to only the names we both had. which will narrow the list to 20 each. With only 7 weeks left, we had better keep working!

March is going to be busy with baby classes and baby showers! In case you are wondering we are registered at Babies 'R Us and Target. We hope to see all of you soon and we look forward to introducing our little one to you!
