Week 29 and 30

It has been a very hectic two weeks. Isn't that how it always works after vacation? Anyhow, the baby is doing well. We had another doctors appointment. I guess I have only gained 6 pounds, which is a miracle with how much I eat. The doctor said if I don't gain at least 15 pounds by the time the baby is born I am not going to have many "reserves". It isn't really affecting me now but I guess I could be a lot more tired once the baby is here. I also got my first shot to make sure that my Rh- blood doesn't mix with the baby's blood. I had to get it in my behind and it hurt. I am used to shots in the arm that don't hurt. The baby is moving a lot. It has gotten big enough to jab me in the ribs all the time. We feel body parts but aren't able to identify what part of the body it is. Sleeping is becoming more uncomfortable but I am still managing to get a good amount of it.

We found a home for Lexi. My friend Kara adopted her. We have talked to Kara since she took Lexi and it sounds like she is adjusting well. She even got to go and run on Kara's grandma's property and go swimming in the lake. Delia is also behaving a lot better since Lexi is out of the house. She was kind of moping around the other day, I can't believe she might actually be sad that Lexi is gone.

We also decided not to sell my car. We had to get the wheel hub fixed and so we have put more money into fixing it than we were going to be able to sell it for. It is also nice not having a car payment. We will make due until we absolutely need a larger vehicle and our funds are "larger".

Next week is going to be busy as well. Jacob is coming to stay with us so he can attend WMU orientation. We are super excited to have him in Kalamazoo next fall. We also start our Lamaze class on Monday. That should be fun.
