30 weeks, 2 days and counting

Yesterday at my dr. appointment we got some better news than last week. After my appointment last week I left feeling like maybe things were getting more serious, mostly cause my doc got that quiet, serious tone about her....but after yesterday things are more clear. I was afraid maybe I had started to dilate but yesterday's results prove that's not happening. Not only is the cervix still closed but it's the same thinness (about .5cm) as it's been the last 4 weeks. This is good news cause maybe we can hang on another 4 weeks, right? I'm doing everything I'm supposed to as far as resting and laying down. Apparently I'm even doing great with eating cause I'm losing just over a pound a week....at my size this is fine....the baby will always get what he needs and I'll just be thinner after delivery...not a bad deal, right?

In other news, the baby's room is painted. Chris got ambitious this weekend and did it all. He's so amazing. I am lucky to have such a wonderful partner in him...he's taking care of me and we're doing great.

We also started our child birth class at St. Joe's last night. In my opinion it was kind of a snooze and a little lame...hopefully the other 3 classes this month will provide for some useful information. I was hoping it would entice Chris to be more interested in the actual delivery but it seems those thoughts may have backfired. Sometimes I'm afraid I'll need him in there more than anyone else but I know he's not comfortable with the idea....I guess we'll just wait and see when this all happens....hopefully not sooner than later ;)

Just make sure he stays up by your head or there'll be no more little kaczkowskis, if you know what I'm sayin'! haha
