That is one sweet baby girl! 
I began to panic around the end of October when I realized that we hadn’t taken any baby education classes. So we did the only thing that people with absolutely no baby experience do. We signed up for every class that we could find: baby care basics, birthing, infant safety/CPR and David’s personal favorite… breastfeeding. I was really relieved when another dad finally walked into that one! And yes, we were the nerdy ones at the front of the class taking notes. I even took a picture to document the occasion. Needless to say, we logged many class hours and we still feel clueless, but a little less so.
Baby Bump Update : Week 28
We enjoyed dressing up for Halloween, although our options were a little limited this year. I have to say that David’s shorts were the best part of our costume. Oww owww!
We had a 3D sonogram on November 6th. We were joined by a ton of family and friends as we watched on the big screen. My aunt, uncle and cousins were also able to join in on the fun, watching a live stream on their TV. Sloane wasn’t really in the mood to put on a show. We got a few good face shots but mostly she spent her time hiding her face in the placenta or covering it with her arms and hands. I guess she is saving all of the details for the big reveal! I can’t wait to see if she resembles the sonograms.
Sloane has really started moving quite a bit in the past few months. Sometimes it is more like a scene from "Alien." My students have also found it very interesting to watch. They are having a hard time wrapping their minds around the fact that there is a little person in there. I must admit sometimes I feel the same way. Just the other day my mom was watching her move around and her eyes got really big and she yelled “I think she is coming out!” and she held her hands up like she was getting ready to catch her! In fact ,as I am typing this, I am watching her move all around…
Baby Bump Update: 30 Weeks 
The second weekend of November we had two showers! The first shower was hosted in Waxahachie by my wonderful and creative friends Kristen, Meghan and Sarah. It was fall-themed and absolutely adorable! We had another shower the next day hosted by my “aunt” Linda and her mom. It was themed to match Sloane’s room and it was too cute for words! It was so great to see so many friends and family! I just wish there had been more time to catch up with everyone. I still can’t get over how generous everyone has been. This little girl is going to have everything she will need!

We hosted both of our families for Thanksgiving this year and we had a great time! David’s family came in and stayed with us for the weekend. Our brother-in-law Josh (with the assistance of David’s dad and David) worked hard installing new baseboards in most of our house. They all worked really hard and the baseboards are beautiful!! We are lucky to have such handy family members! 
David and I are both so lucky to work with such amazing people! Just recently we each had a shower thrown by our work staffs. We really had a great time and we are again overwhelmed at everyone's generosity.
We had our last sonogram this past Wednesday at my 35-week appointment. Sloane was of course being shy so we didn’t get any good pictures but they are estimating her weight at 6 pounds right now. The doctor said she should put on about ½ a pound per week from here on out, however, all of the books say one pound per week! I’m really hoping my doctor is more accurate because I just don’t want her to be a 10-pound baby like her daddy!
Baby Bump Update: 35 weeks
We will be checking in again soon!
