..:31 Weeks and Counting Down:..

Baby Emma is 30 weeks!

        I'm in my third trimester. From everyone and everything that I am talking to and reading about.... this is now the waiting period. Waiting to hit full term, waiting for labor and then waiting to meet our baby. We are already so excited and can't wait to meet Emma. We feel ready! This weekend we are going to put in her carseat. We didn't want to do it too early... However now that we are entering our 31 weeks, it's probably time. Her clothes, diapers, wipes, stroller and even a few headbands are patiently waiting for her arrival.

         I must say I am very fortunate that we are healthy and doing very well. I have NOT gotten sick yet. I have been sleeping quite well despite getting some back and leg pain. Baby has been growing well and moving alot. I am 31 weeks tomorrow and I went to the gym today. I did some bicep workouts and did cardio for 60 minutes. Pregnancy itself if not as enjoyable as I thought it'll be; but we are both healthy, so I shouldn't be complaining.   

        I am on winter break officially. Boy, it feels good! We need this rest time! However, I do have a long list of things to do for work... Why must it be this way! Sigh. Life as a teacher, right. It doesn't end when I drive home. I am forever thinking and dreaming of lesson plans, homeworks, assessments and activities. 

    Happy 31 Weeks Baby Emma!
