30 week visit

On Sunday I had my first baby shower. It was great!!! Scott and I are so thankful and so blessed to be at the church we are and have such wonderful friends. We received so many wonderful gifts...some of which I didn't even realize I'd need. Luckily, most of our friends already have kids. In that aspect we are also blessed. Our Sunday morning class is awesome and we are glad we have been attending it for the past year. I keep thinking that once Colt gets here and all the family goes back home it will be wonderful to have so many 'experienced parents' to turn to for advice. The picture above shows me and all my wonderful hostesses: Kerri Behel, Amy Baker, Tonya Morgan, Me, Emmie Mercer, Sara Jo Neal, and Tonya Wright. At my 30 week appointment on Tuesday I was told all was going well. My blood pressure and weight are both great and Colt is growing well. Right now we are predicting a 7.5 lb baby unless he gets a growth spurt right at the end. My tummy measures right to 30 weeks and I couldn't have asked for a better pregnancy. My doctor told me not to be surprised if I start having random contractions. Scott asked me what those would feel like and I responded "I don't know, I've never had one." However, my mom said she never had any contractions until after her water broke so we'll see. I start my every other week appointments now which means the time is drawing near!!! Please keep us in your prayers over these next few weeks and through the labor and delivery.
