30 weeks 5 days

Wow time is flying by. Now into biweekly appointments with the midwife. Hospital tour is Jan 30 and our first birthing class is Feb 7. Room is done except for hanging the paintings that Neil did and finding a rug. I think my cousin is going to let us borrow her glider so I still have to get that from her and paint the register vents but Neil won't let me do it so maybe on Tuesday when it is supposed to be above freezing I can ask him to do this while I am gone at a meeting for church. Shower is going to be Feb 13 at our church. Trying hard not to look at the registries but its tempting! I hope to start researching doctors and childcare this week. A friend of mine offered to watch her but I have not mentioned it to Neil yet but need to make this a priority. I would love to not have her go to a center, prefer someone home based. If we could afford to I would stay home but can't swing that at this time. Hoping for a decent tax return so I can put some of that away to help with my time off as I only get 2 weeks paid.

Your Baby: Month 7



Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?)

Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.
