30 weeks and a BUSY weekend!

Yesterday, I entered my 30s (in weeks)!!  I'm part of a group on Facebook with women that are all due within a couple weeks of each other.  There was a girl who is due 1 week before us and....she had her baby YESTERDAY!!!  That made me panic a little bit....this baby could be here before I know it!

Baby Burton should be weighing in at approximately 3.2lbs and about 18in. long....which makes baby the size of.....a head of lettuce!!

 

I also found out that with my uterus being pushed to about 4 inches above my belly button (which is still an innie), all of my organs are being pushed in other directions.  This explains why on Sunday I kept telling Tyson that I felt like I couldn't breathe!! 

Oh, and did I mention that I passed the glucose test from last Thursday?!  Well, I did!! :)

Now, on to our BUSY weekend. 
On Friday, (Tyson's day off), I was BLESSED with a snow day!!  We both spent the day being lazy and it was great!  On Saturday, Tyson had another day off.  My parents came over around 12:30pm and my mom and I got right to work on some sewing projects.  My dad had a few errands to run and Tyson took a nap.  By the time Tyson woke up, we were almost finished with project #1....the crib bumper!  We took a break to order pizza from Tony's and bring it over to the Malcolm's, where we all enjoyed a little Ava-time!  

On Sunday, my parents and us went to the early church service and then we took them to Morg's for a late breakfast.  If you've never been to Morg's....you need to go! It's a teeny, tiny hole-in-the-wall breakfast/lunch place in downtown Waterloo.  
After breakfast, we headed back to our house to drop Tyson off before heading to the Sports Show at the UNI dome.  We had some time before Wendy and Ava were going to be ready, so my mom and I got to work on sewing project #2....nursery curtains!  (I was left with homework for those and we should finish this weekend).  

Next up was the Sports Show.  Tyson stayed home while I went with my parents, Wendy, and Ava.  We watched a duck race and then dreamed about living the luxurious life in all of the RVs that were WAY out of our price ranges.  We left just as it was ending and it turns out that was good timing.  My parents got home just in time to avoid the worst of the weather.  
Here are some pictures that my mom took from our sewing extravaganza!! (in no particular order)
