30 Weeks!

I cannot even believe that I am 75% done with my pregnancy!!!!!! That is both a thrilling and nerve-wracking realization, to say the least. :) This week, Alex and I (mostly Alex) assembled our sweet boy's dresser, and I've started doing my first loads of his laundry. Ahhhh! I also ordered a box of 234 diapers…which I hope will get us through a few weeks at least. Maybe? Hopefully? :) Here are a couple of pictures of Alex's handiwork:

Also this week, we attended our first Childbirth Education class, and we loved it! Our instructor is incredible, and we've met some fun couples who are due around the same time we are. Our instructor mentioned that now that we're in this class together, we're all bonded together and we'll surely be seeing each other around in the community. Alex was skeptical of that, but we actually did run into one of the couples at our church on Sunday. They invited us to join their small group the next day, which was so great! It was really wonderful to connect with a great group of folks all in the same stage of life as we are, and we so appreciate them welcoming us so warmly. We're excited to start building up our community in our new space. 

And now for the belly:

This week's updates:

• Baby K is the size of a cucumber!
• He's now strong enough to grasp a finger!
• I have been eating kale like a fool this week! I can't get enough kale smoothies, salads, and soups!

And for a bonus photo, Alex just completed assembling our new stroller system and infant car seat as I typed! Huzzah!
