29 weeks!

Zander is now 29 weeks and continuing to gain weight and muscle. He probably weighs about 3lbs and measures over 15 inches long. We have another ultrasound in a few weeks and will know his exact stats to share then, along with more gorgeous pictures. Until then we have learned a few things about our little guy. He loves when I rock in our new recliner and shares his Daddy and Mommy's love for Michael Jackson. He is most active right after lunch and in the evening, which makes my new summer homework easier to do. Yes that’s right homework over the summer, can you believe it? Last time we were in to see the doctor, I was assigned homework. This homework requires me to count at least ten kicks/movements over an hour period during his two most active times of the day. So far, Zander and I are acing this assignment. He is so active, he makes it pretty easy. In addition to all this amazing excitement, we are now proud residents of a home with new carpet! It is in and it is beautiful. Each time we walk in the door we savor in that wonderful new carpet smell and the soft soft feeling under our feet. We also have Zander's room just about done. All that’s left is adding the road boarder around the top half of the wall and hanging his pictures. That's right, that is all! I have even washed and put away all his 0-3 months’ clothes and organized the rest by sizes. Next on our to do list…. because I know you are all dying to know what do these parents who are so ahead of the game still need to do? Labor and delivery classes. I am a little nervous and hesitant to say the least. Still being a good 11 weeks away from my due date has allowed me to push aside the thoughts of what is necessary for me to go through to actually get this little guy in our arms. These classes, although are meant to inform and prepare us will cause me a little anxiety. Maybe Brandon won’t mind going by himself and reporting back to me what I need to know in a way that doesn’t sound so painful?
