Final Stretch

Three-quarters of the way there:

I should probably be in bed right now since I am working a 12 hour shift tomorrow, but my brain is refusing sleep, so instead I find myself updating. Today marks 30 out of 40 weeks completed (assuming Wyatt doesn't come early, or worse, late). It is also my and Michael's 3 year anniversary since we started dating. Crazy how much life can change in such a short time. Just 3 years ago we began dating, 2 years ago we got engaged, and now we are married with a little man on the way. Life just keeps getting more interesting!

I find myself daydreaming a lot about what kind of person Wyatt will be. I think about what values I hope he will learn from us, and how to go about teaching them. I wonder if I will have to learn the rules of football so I can understand what's happening in his games as I watch from the sidelines, or if I will be tortured by incessant drumming in our garage some day. Will he be lucky enough to have Michael's nose? So many little questions to entertain my mind with.

Other than that, I have been trying to figure out the best balance of working to make money, while having the most time possible to be home. Luckily I have an amazing boss who is willing to work with me (at least until the summer season starts) so I can create a part-time schedule that will help prevent us from living off of ramen noodles, but still allow me to have time with my baby.

Next weekend is the baby shower! I am so excited to have (almost) all the girls together in one place. It feels like far too long since I've had a social life.

Ok, my brain is fried.

How far along: 30 weeks

Baby is the size of: a squash (almost 16" long, and 3 lbs.)

Weight: 168 (25 lb. gain - this was my original goal for the entire pregnancy, but it looks like that won't be happening)
Cravings: none lately. I feel as though I've actually been eating less. Trying to up my iron intake, however. Doctor's orders.
