28 weeks

There's not much new to report on. Carver's been really active the last couple days. I've been forced to sleep on my left side... Carver wakes up if I lay on my right side. This reeks havoc on my back but its worth it to get a couple more hours of sleep.

We got the confirmation of registration for our birthing class. Our class is going to be at the new hospital in Gig Harbor. It just opened on March 17th and it's supposed to be incredible. They aren't set up for deliveries yet so we'll be delivering in Tacoma. Hopefully, by the time we decide to have another kid, we'll be able to deliver in Gig Harbor.

A friend of mine has offered to take some maternity pictures for us so we're going to do that Sunday afternoon. It should be really fun and we're looking forward to it. Thanks Mallorie!!!
