Well we've hit 30 weeks and I feel like it's a milestone. 3/4 done! The last few weeks have been interesting to say the least but things are looking up and I'm excited for December and January.
We've been taking pre-natal classes at the hospital we are delivering at for the last 5 weeks and our last class is on tuesday. Last week we got to tour the LDRP Unit and it made it real! Crazy that in just a couple months we'll be there and get to meet Baby Hill. I'm so happy we decided to take the classes though, it's been great to meet other people and we've definitely learned lots.

If your buying diapers ahead of time buy more of the larger sizes some babies are to big for newborn size and most outgrow them very quickly. Buy in bulk for size 2 and up.
