A great week

This was a very busy but very exciting week!
On Tuesday Dusty and I went to the Welcoming Baby class at the hospital. It was mostly things we already knew but it was still really nice to be reassured that we somewhat will know what we are doing. We practiced swaddling and changing diapers, learned about sponge baths and regular baths. I think it was really good for Dusty to hear these things from a nurse and not just from me, so I am very glad we did it.
Thursday was a day I have been looking forward to for the last 15 months. It was my last masters class at Southern Wesleyan University. I am now completely done with my Masters in Education!!! It is such an amazing feeling. I had the hardest time getting the will and motivation to start my masters, but luckily I had a great friend, Jenn, who was willing to start with me. The program ended up being not nearly as stressful as I anticipated and I met a great group of people. I am actually going to miss seeing this group every Thursday!
We also had a doctors appointment on Thursday. Everything was great. Blood pressure and iron levels were great. I'm measuring right on time and heartbeat sounded great. These appointments are so quick sometimes it seems silly to have to go so much but I never get tired of hearing his heartbeat and hearing that everything is great!
This weekend is going to be a great one as well. Dusty surprised me with an IPhone last night! I have wanted one forever and he is amazing and used his upgrade and the money he has earned reffing basketball  to get me one as a graduation present and he is just taking my old phone. That boy is a keeper for sure and sometimes I don't think I deserve him!  Tonight we are going out to dinner with my family to celebrate my masters and tomorrow is my church baby shower! I'm blessed beyond words and I just thank God everyday for all of these blessings!

Getting close

I am going to try to start keeping up with this blog as a way to keep family and friends informed of our last few weeks of pregnancy plus our lives once Liam arrives! So far my pregnancy has been great I really can't complain. I never had morning sickness, I haven't gained and insane amount of weight. There have of course been some small things like back pain, lots of pimples and exhaustion but as long as we have a healthy baby it will all be worth it!
We have started some major preparations for Liam's arrival. The nursery is just about done. It is a sports/jungle animal theme.

We had a friend take some maternity pictures this weekend and I am so happy with them. Here are a few. I'm going to try to figure out more about this blog so I can hopefully start posting some more of our preparations!
