Oops, as you can see by the date, this was supposed to go up mother's day - two weeks ago!
Lauren got more preggy clothes for mothers day, and she is very excited about it. In just a few days, her stomach really started protruding. What looked like a bloated belly on a Friday was a definite bump by Sunday. We have taken one belly shot but Lauren is not happy with it so we will try to post one soon, even though we are already half-way through!
In the past few weeks, the activity in the tummy has majorly increased. The other day Lauren got a few good hard kicks, and is feeling lots of fluttering. Basically every day she feels some movement. Lauren has also begun sleeping with a body pillow because she is quite uncomfortable these days sleeping, and since she can't sleep on her stomach that seems to be helping. We also signed up for lamaze/childbirth prep classes. They actually begin this Wednesday. Yes, it seems early, but they recommend signing up 3 months prior to your due date, and we would miss one class of the next session which begins at the end of June so they told us to sign up for this one. It is 5 weeks long. Sadly, Aaron will miss the first class because he was informed last Thursday that his work needed to send him out of town for a repair - to Denmark! He left Sunday and will come home this Thursday, but Lauren's oldest and greatest friend Kristin has graciously offered to go with Lauren - thanks, Krist! So, that's about all the news I can remember for now... we have a doctor's appointment next week and we are crossing our fingers we get another picture!
