7 Months Pregnant

7-months---31-weeks

Here is a picture of Eileen at 31 weeks, or 7 months to rest of us that believe months are easier to remember than weeks. By the way, what's the deal with that? Is it just a way to remind the mother-to-be that the baby has been, and will be, in the oven for quite some time? I am just a rookie at all this, so who am I to say? Moving on... it's been a busy busy last few weeks. Not only is work keeping us busy (what's new,right?), but the baby preparation is really starting to set in. We recently got our crib put together and now we just got the bedding to go along with it. I believe Eileen actually has some video she is planning on putting up to show some of those highlights (wait, there were highlights? hahaha). Stay tuned for that. We have also been attending baby preparation classes every thursday, this month. It's been interesting to say the least. Tim, you were dead-on with this one: It really is "the march of the pillow people". The building we go to is right next door to the mall and so while others are returning to their cars with newly purchased items, we are walking through the parking lot with a couple pillows and a blanket, like we are looking for a place to sleep. I would have to say we're learning a lot though. Everything from breathing techniques to massages. Oh, and we just saw a video of a C-section in our last session... Let me just say we may have had to use some of those breathing techniques while watching ;)

Other than that, all is well. Look for another update soon, as Eileen is sitting next to me figuring out how to work iMovie. Nothing quite like video humor to pass the time along!

OMGosh....your getting big. I can tell you that with all the best intentions and I know you wont start to cry (I hope). Anyway it just means the baby has more room in there to grow. You look so Happy, and glowing! I tried to see the video of Sean putting together the crib, but couldn;t get it to download. TAKE CARE, I will come down to see you soon, hopefully before baby joins. BTW are you having a baby shower up north too?
take care!
