Well, we’re more like on week 30 and going into 31 now. But, the 28th week was epic. We got to see a few better pictures of you! It was totally unreal, seeing details of your face. You seem to have a nose that looks like your grandma’s (my mom’s). It may very well be, though, that you look drastically different when you’re finished baking. The picture below is from what they call a “4D ultrasound”. They’re really quite fascinating. Basically, they are able to create 3D pictures in real-time, like this:

I really don’t know how you got your foot way up there. Maybe you will be an acrobat or contortionist when you grow up. Anyway, it’s a lot cooler picture than a regular 2D ultrasound. Your heartbeat was around where it has been for this whole pregnancy, thus far, around 150bpm.

Your mom is still doing relatively well. More back pain, more sleep interruptions to go to the bathroom. But, she is in wonderful spirits and we are becoming more and more antsy to finally meet you! I look at it this way: the current night time interruptions are merely training for late night feeding and diaper changes later 🙂

We have set up a crib in what will be your room, though most of the room is still in shambles from everything we’ve gotten by ourselves and stuff you have received from family and friends at a baby shower we had a couple of weeks ago. Next week we plan on getting a dresser and changing platform to put on top of the dresser. Other than some decoration, that’ll finish up your room!

We had a big gender reveal at that baby shower. The cake was the appropriate color (pink or blue) inside with chocolate frosting outside. The wider world still doesn’t know yet. Everyone else will discover that and your name the day you make your grand appearance.

We completed parenting and child birthing classes about three weeks ago. I actually learned quite a lot, and hopefully it has prepared us for what we can expect–though, I’m sure actually going through the process will be far different. The only thing I’m not really looking forward to, besides your mom being in pain from labor, is lack of sleep. But, I have a feeling it won’t be that bad–we’ll just be taking a lot more naps!
