Another three weeks...

Another three weeks have passed and things are continuing to go well. My belly is growing like crazy now and the little kickboxer loves to let me know when she is awake! Here is a picture of what I looked like at 30 weeks, 2 days.



As stated in my last post, Matt and I went back to Atlanta July 25-27. It was great to see our families and to be back to the familiar. Saturday was Gabbie's birthday so we went to her birthday party at a park near Matt's old college apartment and then to dinner with just the family. I can't believe she is already 4! Here is a picture of me with the birthday girl.



After a long drive back to St. Louis, Matt and I worked on the nursery. The only thing we have left to do is hang artwork, which should arrive within the next couple of weeks. So far we are very pleased with the outcome. I will post pictures once it is complete.

At 32 weeks, the GLOBE team (Matt's team at Purina) threw us a baby shower. It was unexpected, but definitely appreciated! I think they pretty much cleaned out one of our registries! Unfortunately I forgot my camera that day so I don't have any pictures.

I am now coming up on my 33rd week. As my sister reminded me last night, Matt and I will have a baby next month. It is scary and exciting all at the same time! Until then, we will just continue to prepare for her arrival. We have our Preparation for Childbirth seminar coming up at the end of the month and a breastfeeding class this week. We also have another ultrasound on the 20th so I will be sure to post the picture.

Also, this weekend is Matt's 29th birthday and we are hosting a Low Country Boil at our house. We are both looking forward to showing St. Louis just how it is done in the South! I will be sure to take and post pictures since I haven't done so in a couple of weeks. Since there will be so many changes in the next 7 weeks, I will be sure to post more often as well. Thank you all for keeping up with the progress of little Rilynn. She is already so lucky to have such wonderful and loving family and friends!
