Happy Tuesday

We are having some really nice weather here in Portland. Yesterday Katya and I went to the park and walked around the block and I could not believe how warm it was! Today we walked to church for our playgroup; it was a slow walk but we both enjoyed it. I am still feeling extremely tired and having a hard time sleeping.

Craig has a short week at Widmer which we are excited about. He only works two shifts, yesterday night and Sat day, yeah! It will be nice having him home in the evenings this week and hopefully he can get caught up on sleep.

I am 30 weeks along now which I feel is a good milestone since baby Reagan's chances of survival outside the womb are much higher now. She would still need help breathing and would spend a month or two in the NICU but it makes me feel better. Of course there is no reason to thing she would be premature and I am sure she will stay in there a minimum of 7 more weeks and be full term. She is somewhere around 2.5-3lbs and getting strong! Her movements are painful at times when she shoves my organs around and head butts my bladder. I think she is head down but I was never great at "Leopold's maneuvers" (figuring out baby's position by palpating moms tummy) so it is just a guess. It is still early and she has time to flip but hopefully she will end up head down for the big day.

We are still set on the name Reagan even though it is getting more popular (as I predicted it would). It has really moved up on the name lists since I first fell in love with the name 3 years ago. I am trying not to let that bother me and it doesn't really matter now because Craig and I feel like it is already our daughter's name. I am still undecided on a middle name but I am leaning towards Eileen after Great Grandma Thompson.

I am getting excited for labor even though it is a horribly painful experiance. It is definitley the most amazing event despite the pain and I CAN'T WAIT to meet our baby!
