Pre Registration

  Today was my 35 week Dr. appointment.  And when I was signing in they handed me paperwork to fill out . . . which was unexpected for me . . . but a little exciting!  It was the pre-registration for me and the boy for when we go to meet him!  So, I filled out his paperwork for his birth certificate (as much as possible) and got all my paperwork completed for the hospital.  EEEEEKK, it's coming so fast, tomorrow will be 30 days  until my due date!  I can't wait to meet this little boy of ours. 

  OH, and the Dr. felt him and said he was head down!  AND, when she got his heartbeat it started at 180 (cause he was moving around so much) and as soon as he was at rest it was the normal 150.  This little boy makes me smile! 

 

35 weeks, 4 days

 

35 weeks

We have less than 5 weeks to go now.  I can't tell if time is speeding up or slowing down . . . I guess it depends on the day.  Monday was officially my last day of mowing.  I came to that conclusion after being so exhausted by the time I was almost done, I was in tears!   So, from now on house work only.  I feel like there are a ton of projects that still need to be done, but in reality there aren't.  I started washing baby clothes this week and getting things out of the packages.  We are going to move the table into the kitchen and the hutch into the "old dining area" to hopefully open the space in the living room to accommodate baby things.  That will be this weekend, as well as lots of pool time at the neighbors (108 degrees is a little too much for me)! 

  We have our final birthing class tonight and then another dr. appointment  on Thursday.  I'm looking forward to resting a little on Friday!! 

Maternity Pictures

My sister was kind enough to take pictures for us to document this special time in our lives.  Since we had a baby shower this past weekend at my dad's church, it was the perfect time to do so.  (The shower was amazing, by the way.  So many generous people and so much fun!)  Here are a few pictures . . .

 And some from the baby shower. . .

 

We are officially at 34 weeks this week!!! 

8th Month

32 weeks and I'm in my 8th month of pregnancy. Time has flown by!  This week has been good filled with activities.  Yesterday we had our first of four  birthing classes.  It was definitely interesting.  The teacher is okay, not the easiest person to listen to, but I think we can make it a few more times :).  I had a doctor's appointment today and that went well, Carl surprised me and made arrangements to be there.  I'm still measuring right on track, and all the vitals look good.  the doctor said that his heartbeat was good and that he is an active one :) . . . which of course I knew already!  I think I'm going to have my hands full with this one.

  Many people have commented this week that it looks like I swallowed a watermelon, and I'm feeling like I have!  Sleep is getting less and less (or so it feels that way).  I find myself with decent amount of energy until I sit down for a minute and then it's pretty much nap time (even just for 5 min).
