Week 32

 

Oh...my...goodness... I am always out of breath these days. Other than that I'm feeling pretty good considering. I can tell our little one is running out of room in there. I'm not getting as many kicks as I was before; now I'm feeling a lot more pushes and stretching and what I can only describe as a dolphin-type move. We are making headway on our nursery and are loving how it's turning out. Pictures to come.

31 weeks and we have a crib!

 

Our little pineapple should be about 3 lbs. this week and between 16 and 17 inches long. Since finishing busy season, we have done what feels like a whirlwind of errands and projects around the house making up for the last month.

 

Here is a preview of the nursery with the crib put together. There is still a lot left to do, but we are happy to be making progress.

 

Phil got an iWalk so he can finally move around the house without his crutches. It is wonderful to have help around the house and he is happy to finally be contributing. He vacuumed the whole bottom floor on his first day with the leg while I got a well deserved nap.

29 and 30 weeks!

 

We can't believe that we have made it to 30 weeks already! We finally finished up the busiest part of the year and can focus on getting ready for our baby. Our little sweetie continues to be active and her kicks are getting stronger as the weeks go by. I love watching her move and shaking my belly around. We are starting our labor and delivery classes soon to help us gear up for labor. It is just around the corner. 

 

We got a chance to meet Ryder Walker Romano last week and even our baby girl got to say hello. While I was holding Ryder, little baby girl kicked right where Ryder was resting on my belly. Can't wait until we get to have cousin play dates this summer!

Phil is working on recovery. He got a cast last week which has given him a lot of relief from the soft wrap he was in after surgery. Now he can move around and bump his cast without any pain. He still is 100% reliant on crutches and his scooter, but he is starting to feel more like himself again.

 

Phil's Surgery

Phil's surgery went off without any problems. He had done more damage to his Achilles than the doctor was hoping for, but the doctor got him all put back together. We are home now recovering and getting into a rhythm - ice, elevation, pain killers, food, bathroom break, sleep, and repeat. We like to joke that it's getting us ready for the baby arrival having to wake up every 4 hours to do the routine all night long. We are starting to work a bit more from home now. Phil's parents have been super helpful and supportive - helping me do jobs around the house and taking Porter for walks in the evening. Thank you to everyone for the well wishes, food, and support. We appreciate it so much and can't wait to get back on our feet.
