It's crazy and amazing to think we hit the 30 week mark on Tuesday! Every day that passes, it becomes more exciting and less scary (unless I think about delivery) that we come closer to meet Baby Andrew. Everything has been going well, we are seeing the doctor every two weeks now. Today, he actually cooperated so Laura (our PA-C) could get his heartbeat on the Doppler. The downside was we didn't get a sneak peek on the ultrasound machine, but my future punter was a man on the move in the waiting room. Joe has now gotten to actually see and feel the punting party in my belly. We have taken the labor & delivery class, breastfeeding class, and care for newborn class (or "don't drop the baby" as Joe called it). I've been a geek and signed us up for everything. We still have the safe sleep class to attend, hopefully there's a spot in the evening session at the end of the month. Joe is going to take one for the team and go by himself if there's only an open spot in the afternoon.
The nursery walls have finally come down, new electrical work was done today, so it's time for the new walls to go back up. It's a busy time of year as the school year comes to a close, add getting ready for our little miracle's arrival and we really kick it up a notch!
Continue to pray for Baby Andrew to keep growing healthy and to stay put! Pray for Joe because I'm going to be an even bigger (quite literally) handful than usual as the school year comes to a close and we get ready to meet our baby boy. Keep praying for me to be a healthy and safe place for Andrew to keep growing and keep as sane as possible being in the third trimester and the end of the school year.
We are so thankful and blessed to have such a supportive group of family and friends that keep encouraging us. It continues to be such an amazing adventure!

| Joe was a rock star participant and volunteered pretty quickly to try on the empathy belly. Oh, and Pat McAfee responded to my picture with congratulations...awesome, right?! I'm so going to put it in the nursery, which will surprise nobody. |

This little guy will always whisper to our hearts, "God indeed, answers prayers." I will see you the 29th; until then...stay sane, rest up, and know this great adventure is nothing you and Joe can't handle. Oh...that safe sleep class....is that for you guys or the baby?? HAHA Love you three.
