We took a fun-filled mini-vacation to Tofino, one last hurrah before Baby! We enjoyed snow AND sun, did some whale watching and kayaking, and even got a little sunburnt.
When we got back, I had my finals. SO not thrilling! But having them finished is a huge relief (even though I am checking the website for grades every hour or so - why are they not up yet?!?). Not long (hopefully) before I find out if I am an official graduate. . .
Blew off some studying steam with some more kayaking.

And as a glorious graduation present, the bookcase Matthew bought me for my birthday finally arrived! It is beautiful and not broken and it fits all of my books! And then he bought me my dream couch. I could just live in my living room right now.
Now for a baby update! We had a non-stress test and ultrasound today, and discovered that our baby is exactly average. The non-stress test recorded 20 minutes of Baby's heart rate, which was pretty constant between 140-150 (normal is 120-160). Then the ultrasound told us that all of Baby's measurements are "bang on" for his age (32 weeks 5 days), all evidence of my subchorionic hemorrhage has disappeared, he is head down (good baby) and he is, indeed, a boy. I'll be kept pretty busy for the next 7 weeks with weekly non-stress tests and biweekly Dr.'s appointments, but hopefully it will not be any more than 7 weeks! And I don't think it will be - braxton hicks contractions are driving me crazy, so I'm telling myself that all this prepping means all will be ready soon.
