Four more weeks!

Well, as far as we can tell, anyway... the due date is still 7-28. Though we were thinking 7-22 might be neat, since it's Jim's birthday month (July) and my birth-day (22). Still, a short, energetic and joyful birth is what we really want!!

So the time has come for us to get things together... I know, I know, we should be on this already. But we've been- I dunno, in denial?? In any case, we're starting to unwrap stuff and find a real place for it so the 'extra' room will transform into a 'baby' room.

The process was helped a bit yesterday, as a bunch of folks from church threw us another shower! They got Jim in on it, but I thought it was a youth bbq (which would've been more exciting if I didn't think it was outside!!). Much fun - lots of great people, all supportive and excited about 'Baby Jenkins'. It's really amazing to me how many people are looking forward to this little one's arrival!

On another note, today I had a pre-natal massage. It was utterly fantastic- there was a special table with a 'cutout' for the belly... I had honestly forgotten how good it feels to lay down face first!! And Braidy used one of the hypno-birthing CDs for music, so that helped set the mood right away. Great practice, I think, for the birth-- being in a birthing room, soft lights and nice music, focusing on relaxing... But I may need *more* practice over the next few weeks!

Will try to post again later this week- another appt. comes up Thurs. Oh, and Jim's knee turns out to be both tendonitis and his miniscus (spelling?) tore and flipped upside down? So he got a cortizone (sp?) shot which may heal it... if not, in about 4 wks or so he'll need to have a scope procedure. Neat timing, eh?!
