30 Weeks!

I know it has only been a few weeks, but it seems like forever since I did our last post. Life has been going pretty darn good for us lately. Marc got sick a few weeks ago, then I was right behind him, but with a lot of rest and medication we got over it quick enough. Marc is doing great in school and just studying away for his boards. He has been taking extra study guide classes to review for boards and they typically fall on Saturdays and Sundays. We recently got called to be "Sunbeam" teachers in Primary. We are 3 weeks in and I am not exactly sure how I feel about the calling yet. Most of the kiddos are sweet as can be, but I think with this age range we really are just babysitters with a glorified name. Part of me is counting down the weeks till this baby comes to get released and the other part feels like it is preparing me for motherhood so I need to learn as much as I can in the short time I have.
Well, we have hit another milestone in our pregnancy. 30 Weeks!. It seems like it is so close, but so far at times too. I am getting to anxious to meet our sweet little baby girl. At the same time I am terrified to have her. At my doctor appointment on Friday they gave me paperwork to get pre-registered at the hospital and were discussing signs of labor that I need to watch out for. I did NOT see that coming!. It really put everything in prospective for me. They also brought up finishing our labor classes multiple times. That is something Marc and I really need to get cracking on since we chose to do the cheaper online course we haven't had a time pressure till now. Oh, and here is another real shocker they dropped on me last minute at my appointment. IV's!. I have been mentally preparing myself (or at least trying to) for the epidural coming my way and even that is optional... I did not know IV's were mandatory!. In the hands none the less. Still trying to wrap my head around that...
Well that is about it for us, at least for now. Over the next month we have a lot to look forward to. Mid Terms, Taxes, Baby Showers, Visitors & Cleaning out the nursery!. Not to mention 4 sundays with the little munchkin's. Wish us luck!!!
love love LOVE, the Grows!

    Yay for another milestone! IV's truly aren't that bad compared to everything else that goes on...I promise you will lose ALL pride when your baby comes. lol! My hubby was so awkward about all of it. He kept saying, "don't touch her there, that's for me not you..." lol! It was so funny! Enjoy the sunbeams-they say the darnest things! But, being pregnant I can see how you might feel different- you want to have your own child, not babysit others..it's almost over and then you will have your own baby and they are always easier to take care of than others. Especially in church! :-)

    You look so cute!

    We were just called to be sunbeam teachers too... and I feel about the same as you. Brooklyn is in Sunbeams this year but she's almost a year older then most of the kids. She is so much more well behaved then most of the kids in our class its amazing to see the difference.
