Special pregnancy moments:  We attended our 2nd Prepared Child Birth Class and Daddy got to see an actual live birth from crowning to delivery and he survived! Movement has gotten so much stronger and you can actually see Baby moving around and kicking from the outside now. Daddy loves to make her move! Got kicked so hard that I screamed out in pain. Shocking sucker punch straight up between the ribs., multiple times. Grandma K got Baby her dresser so Mommy got to do all kinds of baby laundry of all the things collected before the baby shower while Daddy put the dresser together. Auntie Heather was told that she was going to be in the room for delivery and would be the one to be my room monitor and waiting room announcer. Started to pack the hospital bag.
