75% there!

Today I am 7 months pregnant. I am passed the 30 week mark and I only have 25% left!

I am excited to start my HypnoBabies class in the next few weeks and interested to find out how it compares to HypnoBirthing. My teacher sent a HypnoBabies C.D. with two visualizations on it for us to practice with. Justin and I can't make it past the introduction without passing out!! Maybe I should try listening earlier in the day.

I still want to buy a baby swing and a nice diaper bag. There are tons of things left on the to-do list and it is definitely time to start checking them off! I think I will feel less anxious once everything is prepared.

My kids love their baby brother already and can't wait for him to be born. I don't know if Everett understands entirely that Jacob will be here to stay after he is born but I'm sure he'll catch on quickly. :) Charity thinks that she is going to do EVERYTHING for the baby, except nurse. She says when he needs to nurse, she will hand him to me till he's done. Then she will resume being the mommy. I'm sure she is going to be a lot of help!

I can't wait to see my baby. I am having lots of dreams about holding him and other babies now. He is in my thoughts (and my ribs) 24 hours a day! I go from feeling so excited and anxious that I feel like I am going to burst and then feeling like everything is perfect now and he can take his sweet time before he comes and changes our lives so dramatically. 10 weeks is probably the perfect amount of time to get myself prepared. I can't wait!!
