35 Weeks

Well we've had such a busy week.  After a great weekend in Swansboro we've had something to do just about every day.  Tuesday I went to the doctor and everything was great.  We also had our first childbirth class at the hospital.  It went well, but the crazy thing was out of all the couples in the class we are due first.  Wednesday I went back to work.  It was great seeing all my coworkers again, but I can tell this whole "work thing" is going to get old pretty fast.  I'm starting to slow down and waddle just a little. Haha.  We have an awesome reclining couch at home and I joked with Joe last night about how it would be even better if I could press the button and it would lean forward and push me out of of the couch.  Thursday I went on an office visit with our pediatrician's office.  There are actually three locations in Winston and Clemmons.  Their motto is for parents to feel relaxed and not overwhelmed by a huge busy office.  They "say" usually when you come in for appointments you'll be the only one in the waiting room.  We shall see.  Friday we went to Charlotte to celebrate all the wonderful things that have happened in the Maslow family over the past couple years.  Most graduating, getting jobs, buying a house, and of course adopting their precious baby girl Tella (puppy).  Saturday three of my fabulous girlfriends threw us a couples baby shower at our new home.  It was wonderful hanging out with everyone and we didn't even have to leave the house or carry gifts into the house.  Pretty good deal.  Sunday Joe and I took maternity pictures out at Tanglewood.  My friend Emily began a photography business this summer and she agreed to take "baby bump" pictures for us.  I've only gotten the chance to see one, but I'm sure they will be fantastic.  I will post them as soon as I get the CD.  We spent the rest of Sunday relaxing at the lake.  The weightlessness in the water is amazing for pregnant women.  Here are a few pictures from our weekend.
