30 Weeks

February 11, 2007: 30 weeks down, 10 to go. The tear in my round ligament seems to be healing and I have been able to start working out again. I have been walking and also just started up jogging again. It feels great to be able to get some exercise after a few weeks off. The baby kicks with more strength every day. I think it is weighing in at about 3 lbs now, but I see the doctor tomorrow for my check up so I will post an update after that. Mark and Jen came up to visit this past weekend and brought us some baby gear so now the nursery is coming along even more. We now have a bassinet, bouncy seat, baby bjorn, a tub, and lots of clothes.

January 30, 2007: Today we finished painting the baby's room. Neither of us have ever painted anything before so it was a learning experience. The first difficulty was knowing what color that looked good on a tiny square in the store would look good covering entire walls. Our "light blue" turned out to be a little bit brighter than we planned, but for a few months the little one can deal. The biggest discovery I made was what a pain in the neck painting is. I hated all the taping and fine edge work. I didn't mind using the rollers in big places, but next time I hope I can afford a painter! :)

January 28, 2007: 28 Weeks pregnant today and really starting to feel bigger. I have not done any exercise in two weeks because I am letting a tear in one of my round ligaments heal up. Today was a gorgeous winter day and we decided to go for a hike. The trail was 2.1 miles to the top and you get to 2,220 feet in elevation. We took it nice and slow and got to the top in about an hour and twenty minutes. The views were fantastic. I have been feeling great and just can't really get used to being so big. It is a strange feeling. When I sit at my desk my uterus touches my rib cage and I can feel the baby kick me in the ribs.
