weeks 28-31

Holy heat it has been hot out! Being [very] pregnant during these hot days has been a challenge but really has not been too bad. We keep the ac set nice and low at home and luckily my office building keeps it cool as well. So, between nice air conditioned rooms and floating in pools, my summer pregnancy has gone well so far.
Eric and I recently enjoyed a mini vacation to Tennessee for a few days and had a lot of fun. It is amazing how many people ask when I am due and whether we are having a boy or a girl. At one point, Eric and I were walking back to our hotel when a man and a woman stopped and the woman said 'excuse me, any chance you're carrying a boy in there?' Why, yes I am! - how did she know?!
The nursery is finally fully underway and I love it. Often times I just stand in there and look around at everything - I can't wait until he is here! He has been getting the hiccups a lot [in fact he has them as I am typing this :)] and the doctor said that is a good sign of healthy functioning lungs. He remains a constantly wiggly little guy and I can't wait to meet him in only two more months!
Below are pictures from weeks 28-31. Week 29 was when Eric and I were in Gatlinburg so it is a little different than our usual pictures....
