32 weeks....and counting

Whoa!  We only have 8 weeks (give or take a week or two) until the arrival of little Baby Karlin.  The time has definitely flown by (and from what I hear - it will continue to fly by from here on out!).

Andy and I were able to take our childbirth class this weekend in which we were able to learn all the aspects that go into actually having a baby.  And let's just say - there is a lot more to it than I realized (All the power to you mom's out there!).

We were able to take a tour of the hospital where we hope to deliver and are excited about how quiet / spacious / easy to navigate it all is.  The rooms even have a pull out couch to where Andy will have the equivalent of a twin bed to rest on when he gets tired (well...when he wants to sleep and I am already asleep :) ).. The best part about the class is I found a very comfortable position in the chair (straddle it and place a pillow in between me and the back of the chair) that I think will still allow me to work on a computer ....I am going to be trying it out tomorrow :).

And, speaking of Andy, I want to take a minute to say how awesome he has been during this pregnancy!  So patient, understanding, patient, helpful, loving, did I say patient? He helps me with anything I ask him to and more!  From helping me out of the recliner, to not rolling his eyes the 17th time I ask him to get me some water / snacks / let Ollie outside when I am sitting down. He is diligent about getting up in the morning to feed the dog and let him outside so I don't have to.  He has not gotten upset / frustrated with me for forgetting something, and lovingly laughs at me when the wrong words (or words that I completely jumble together) come out of my mouth. He has gotten pretty good about knowing what I mean instead of what I say these days :). He is always very willing to go grab any craving I may have (thankfully - there haven't been too many "I must have this right now" moments....yet.).  I can't wait to see how patient and loving he will be towards our son!

and...for your viewing pleasure - the beast that won't stop growing:
