Update From Mom

I am roughly 33 weeks and still doing great. I do notice that I am starting to tire more easily which can be frustrating at times, but for the most part I take it all in stride. Even though I get tired more easily I do find time to exercise and am staying active with a prenatal water fitness, biking (stationary bike that is), and gardening. I miss jogging and am looking forward to doing that again this fall.

Todd and I have been busy working on putting the final touches on the nursery and preparing for the kid’s arrival. Currently we are in the midst of birthing classes, classes about caring for the baby, meeting with our Doula, etc. June has been a very busy month, but we are enjoying all the preparation and are looking forward to meeting the kid.

Baby Bump

I thought it would be nice to post some photos of me (with child) and a close up of the baby bump. These are from the kayaking adventure that Todd and I took over the Memorial Day weekend. We paddled down the Mississippi River from the Coon Rapids Dam to Brooklyn Park, about an hour and a half ride. It was very relaxing and fun; we saw several turtles sunny themselves along the river banks as well as various water fowl.
