Getting Ready

This picture is just for fun. I was getting ready to attend my fourth and final shower for World Impact ladies that are having babies around here. I decided that since it is February now, I can wear springy pink. Ryan picked out this shirt for me and this is the first time I have been able to wear it.

We have been getting all the final things ready for Ben's arrival. Ryan installed the car seat base in my car, so now it goes everywhere with me. I have packed Ben's diaper bag with his few little essentials and his going home outfit. I have gotten together many of the things for my hospital bag, but so much of it will have to wait until we get closer. I do have a list though on top of the bag to remind me of everything I want to eventually get in the bag.

We were able to purchase pretty much everything else from our registry that we hadn't received at showers thanks to cash and gift card gifts. We think we have everything we could need. Now, we just wait until he actually gets here and see what else we really do need that we haven't thought of yet.

We have signed up for childbirth classes at the hospital birth center where I plan to deliver. We will be in class all day Saturday, Feb 21 and 28. WooHoo.

Ryan has been really busy working lately. He is currently teaching two classes, one on Monday evening and one on Wednesday morning. He is supposed to start another class this Tuesday evening. I am holding my breathe to see if it happens. The prospective students have been a bit finicky so we will just have to see what happens.

Here is a video of Ryan teaching. He is a fabulous teacher, but I didn't want to actually post one of his classes, so this is just a funny moment in class. This is from his Old Testament survey course (that he wrote himself) and when introducing the next book to discuss, he shows some "artistic representations" of stories or themes from the book. I just thought this was a funny moment and I talk about myself a lot, so you Ryan-lovers can get a little fix from this.


He will also be attending a weekend summit/conference for all satellite campuses this coming weekend. Thankfully, the summit is here in Wichita. That means he will be gone most of the weekend, but at least he is just across the street instead of having to travel to another World Impact city or state. I am thankful for that, but will miss him being home. How will I ever get off the couch without his strong arm to push or pull me up?

We go to the doctor this Monday for our 34 week check-up. No belly pictures again until week 36, so I probably wont post unless something crazy happens at the doctor.
