I am 34 weeks... just a little more than a month to go! It's exciting and a little nerve wracking to realize Lainey is so close to her debut. We just took a labor and birth class last week and I feel much more prepared. This week John and I are in California. We will be here until the 22nd. We came for a follow-up appointment for John's elbow surgery. The doctor said all seems to be going well and John should be back on the mound to test his elbow by the end of the year.
We have lots to celebrate in the next two weekends. My cousin Nick and his wife Ashlee are expecting their little boy, Finnley Ryan, on the same day that we are expecting Lainey! Ashlee's baby shower is this Saturday and I am glad we are in town to be able to share that with them. Then next Saturday, my Dad is getting married! We are really excited for that special day too. Dawn and her two kids, Dillon and Katija, are really great and we are glad to have them join our family. The next day after that is my baby shower that my Mom and sister Jessica are putting on for me. We have a packed schedule!
After all this great time to spend with family, we will be heading back to Arizona so that John can start physical therapy on his elbow and so that we can get all of Lainey's things organized before she comes. We will be staying in Arizona until Lainey is here and fully settled. No more travel... Dr. Newman wasn't very excited that I was traveling now as it is!!
I need to put up a new belly picture. We are growing daily! I think that will have to wait until we get back from this trip though. Love and hugs to everyone!! ~Amanda
