This is the belly at 30 weeks. Now, a week later, I am positive it's grown even more. As the belly button becomes shallower, nights are becoming more difficult. For the past two days I have been extremely restless when trying to sleep, and I find I am tossing and turning all night to try and get comfortable. During the day, I am up and down every five minutes looking for a comfortable standing or sitting position. It's getting to be a little bit of a problem, but I think I'll get through it alright. Only 62 days to go! (yes, we're now down to counting the days-literally).

This weekend Paul and I started to paint the nursery! After hours of preparation and painting, it still isn't quite ready for its big reveal. I have abitiously chosen a strip pattern for the walls, so right now we are in the middle of measuring and taping. I have trusted Paul to do the math to get even and consistent stripes, and so far, the taping looks pretty straight. We'll just have to see once the tape comes off if we are masters of this finish. I am nervous since while researching how to do stripes right on the internet, there were many many comments about how difficult it is-with pictures to back them up.

I am excitedly awaiting this weekend (Yay Easter) and a trip to Sudbury where mom had planned a baby shower (yay again!). I will post more about that excitement on Monday (a day off for teachers (Yaaaaaayyyyyy!) :)
