Approximately 12 Weeks to Go!!

I have been talking about starting this blog for a long time, ever since I found out I was pregnant. Well here it finally is and I hope to be very diligent with it for the sake of family and friends that live some distance from us and will not get to see our baby as often as they would like.

So we are at approximately week 28 of the pregnancy and I feel really good, and blessed to feel this way. I have been busy this fall with classes and all the assignments that come along with it which is good in a way. It has helped the time to pass a little more quickly and I am usually so concerned with getting through another week of school that I am surprised to find that I have also moved through another week of pregnancy. It is bad in the fact that I am so focused on school that I have not really prepared for Max's arrival. The nursery is a total wreck!! We are getting new carpet laid next week and so I have been putting off arranging the room until after that has occurred. But we are probably a little overly cautious and picky about things that it took Curtis and I a long time to settle on things like furniture and a mattress. That is all slowly resolving and things are beginning to come together. I will attach pictures when the nursery is completed.

Our family has been a tremendous support to us so far, probably because they weren't so sure that we would ever have a baby. My Mom swears she always knew we would and I have to admit she was right. So far it has been a real joy for Curtis and I and we are excited about what comes next. However I will miss being pregnant, and I never thought I would be that type of person to make that claim. Having said that, ask me in about 8 weeks and I may feel completely different. I am also nervous about getting through with my semester and nearing the end of my pregnancy, but my instructors have all been supportive so I know that I will get it done eventually. Hopefully they will accept a term paper e-mailed from the delivery room!

Speaking of class, I should get back to studying for an exam next week. Please check back periodically for new updates and pictures.
