34 Weeks!

February is drawing to a close and we are ever so close to being a family of 3... Well, 4! We have accomplished a lot just in the past week- Maternity photo shoot & starting our childbirth classes!! The photo shoot (done by JL Photography- jlpics.com) was done right in our very own home in Elijah's room! We are so happy with the way the pictures turned out... I had to share some with you all!

We have completed 2 of our childbirth classes thus far and have 3 to go. The class is called "HypnoBirthing" and focuses on deep relaxation and meditation as a means for pain management during labor. The theory is that when you are fearful and tense, your muscles tend to fight against the natural process that is labor. When you relax, you are better able to work with your body to get your baby out with less labor and less pain (yeah I don't think I buy it either :). Whatever the case, I am hoping that it helps me to feel as prepared as I can possibly feel for the big day.

Elijah is growing big and strong and almost 5lbs now! He is about the size of a cantaloupe! He has been beating me up recently... Thank goodness there are only a few weeks to go!!

My baby showers are this week and next... I am so looking forward to seeing you all and celebrating with you! Thank you so much for loving us and taking such an active role in our lives. This is going to be one LOVED baby!

Love,

The Turners
