I am just past the 30-week mark. The baby recently got the hiccups which was completely fascinating. His movements are quite pronounced and frequent on a daily basis. Something tells me we're going to have a very active little boy on our hands.
We got our rocker/glider, so there is now one piece of furniture in the nursery! I'll post a photo of that soon. Still waiting on the rest of the nursery furniture to arrive, which is really testing our patience (not that there aren't a million other projects to do in the meantime).
Last night, we attended our first official class. I'll spare you the details as the topic was breastfeeding. What I will say is that I was completed impressed with the high attendance of dads and the fact that they asked more questions than the moms. We learned a lot and I felt a sense of relief in having some information told to me point-blank by an "expert" - I think I'm growing tired of weeding through books and advice. Sometimes I just want someone to tell me what to do!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.

Yay! You look so cute! I had trouble with breastfeeding at first and had to use a nipple shield for the first two months. (Yes, I'm totally comfortable with talking about these kinds of things after all that I've been through!) Everything is great now though, and I plan to continue at least until Eleanor is one. I started going to a breastfeeding support group and I still go, mainly just for the social aspect at this point. I HIGHLY recommend going to a group like that if there's one around you. Anyway, I have learned a lot, so if you ever have any questions feel free to ask. Nothing embarrasses me anymore. :)
Thanks for the info, Beth! I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions when the time comes...
I was trying to get out of taking that one :P
good to hear that there were men there, as we're trying to take one ourselves, I didn't know if it was appropriate or not for me to go ...
You will learn a lot, Brian! By the end, you probably won't even be uncomfortable. :)
