General update (and some mushiness)

Today S and I are leaving for our 4th anniversary. Just a short trip but something to get away and relax and have one last vacation to ourselves (for a while at least). I packed a maternity bathing suit (thanks sis!) no we're not going some place hot haha (we wish) and I've still got room in it to grow so that was surprising at 7 and a half months. Yep 30 weeks yesterday! It's going by so fast I can't believe I'll be a mom in (about) 10 weeks. Wow. Deep breath.

I've been feeling the baby move A LOT lately. It's kinda fun and I think that might be something I miss (or not even think of when I have my actual baby to cuddle) who knows right? I've seen my whole belly jump with movement a couple times which has been freaky but cool. Sometimes I'll feel pressure on one side or the other and I'll press on it and it's SUPER hard like a foot or a bum or something. Some people think ew that's weird and alienish but when it happens to you it's super cool thinking you're able to almost touch  your baby. It makes me look forward to actually holding our baby without all my organs in the way ;)

I've started doing phase 1 of the MuTu System that I purchased with a friend. It focuses on strengthening your core and over all fitness along with proper alignment and nutrition for Mom's of all stages, new and old. It's surprisingly difficult for how gentle the exercises are! I like it so far however because I'm still preggers I won't be doing the program to the "T" until after the baby is born. I figure it's good to have a strong core now or at least the breathing and alignment will help with my back pain and relaxation for the time being.

I'm so thankful for the past 4 years.  I have seen us grow together and as individuals. It has gotten better and not worse. I appreciate his differences instead of trying to change them. I see where God has used S in my life to strengthen my faith, increase my intimacy with God and encourage me in my gifts and talents. I am so glad to have married him and I have no doubt of his capacity to be a wonderful father to our child(ren) and be actively involved in their lives. Of that I know he will covet the responsibility he has to teach and guide and love and discipline and play with and encourage.
