HUGE!!!!! Million weeks preggo! :)

So we are really in he home stretch! We are now over 8 months pregnant with about 5 or 6 weeks left to go! Time is flying SO fast its nuts! I know i promised belly cast pics as well my belly pics, but frankly i have been lazy! The pics here are from the shower we just had on Sunday. It was a lot of fun! You can sort of get an idea of my GIGANTIC size by the pics, but until I have the really belly pics up you really cant get the idea of just how large I am! We have everything ready for him! I had to go out the other day and buy all the little things I almost forgot I needed... everything from baby wipes to baby wash to well, just about everything to keep him clean and dry! :) So i had been so focused on all the big things and getting all that in gear that i totally forgot the little things! HAHAHAHA, well have no fear he is ready now! He has a rad room rad clothes rad toiletries and well a rad family! So he is set!

On another note I have officially retired from the corporate world as of last thursday, that is an adjustment for me, but it will be great in the long run! I have so many things to keep me busy even before he arrives that time will still fly! Matt is starting to realize that sleep is going to be a thing of the past for a while! Which is a VERY hard thing for my hubby to give up! So it will be interesting to see how he handles that all teh way around... I am already used to no sleep! These days sleep is well pretty hard. Between my wonderful littles ones waking me everyday at 6:30 and demanding food and well not being able to sleep till about 4 or 5am due to baby and the WORST heartburn on the planet and my wonderful hubby coming in late (which I am used to given his job) but when you haven't slept in days it is hard, but I guess I look at it as preperation for when he arrives!

Now I SWEAR i will post pics of my belly soon so everybody can see just how HUGE i am! I feel liek he is trying to get out through my belly button on a daily basis! (if you can still call it a belly button)

32 weeks and counting!

Well we are 32 weeks pregnant. Things are going great! We have had so much fun getting ready for him. Anybody that knows me, knows I have a shoe problem... well its official, that problem continues but with little shoes for him! I have a nice little collection going! It is so much fun looking for tiny little shoes! I cant even tell you. I had my first Baby shower on Sunday. It was thrown by my best friend Crissy and my Mom! It was fun, we got some really GREAT stuff!!! We hung up all his clothes last night and just had too much fun going WOW he is going to be so stylin' and also going WOW we are so close it's crazy. It really doesn't seem like time could have gone by any faster. 9 months is so close to a year that it just doesn't seem like it could have flown so darn fast! I am so in love with this little boy I cant wait to meet him and give him a name! As far as my weight goes I have no idea i am so not paying attention anymore. I still fit in a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes... i mean jeans cant zip up but i guess if i can get em' over my big ol butt then i don't have too much to worry about after he comes... But really the ONLY thing that matters is to see him and hold him! I cant wait!!!! We think he may have turned but we are not sure and wont be until the next and hopefully last sonogram and then we can find out if he really did turn? I sure hope he did cuz i really would like to have a natural child birth. I am hoping to be able to do it with no needle in my back, just something about a huge foreign object in your freaking spine that doesn't really yell safe to me?! I don't know... I will post pics soon! I need to do new belly pics as well as room and shower pics. It really was fun seeing everybody and just talking baby! Last night Matt and I did a belly cast of my tummy. It is really neat! I am going to do a little art project with it and that way we will have my first belly immortalized! Now I will tell you that the package makes it sound really easy and oh you can do it in 30 minutes... ummm NO YOU CANT! it is a messy messy project and i recommend doing outside in the sun!!! They do furnish you with a drop cloth and there is good reason for that! And yo also need to be in a very comfortable position prior to starting the project, cuz that stuff gets heavy on your tummy. when it started to get heavy while drying little man started rustling around like... hey what is going on move that! it was funny. Shortly there after we removed it and it is currently sitting on our coffee table with a fan on it to dry it faster. its a pretty cool thing! So all in all things are going GREAT! I feel good I am popping iron pills and feeling better each day! I am about to stop working all together to get the house in order and well frankly keep my feet up and wait! :) So pictures to come (i swear!!!) till next time...

Things...

Well the baby's room is complete. I have my first baby shower this weekend, looking forward to seeing everybody. I have decided I want it held at our home cuz I wanna be comfy! It should be fun! :) The animals seem to be adjusting well to the baby room. Abby loves the new rug in there and sneaks in at night to sleep on it! And Beany... well she is nosey, but can't be bothered. She is kind of under the weather we are taking a vet trip today that mommy is NOT very excited about. But we will just take a deep breath and hope for the best! As far as me and the baby go. We are doing great, I am still kicking a nasty cold/flu bug but feeling much better and the baby is feeling better too I am sure he is ready for me to stop coughing. But i can tell he is glad i am feeling better. In the middle of being sick he became very lazy, he hardly moved, and now he is back to his jumping jack self! :) We are just counting down the days till he gets here, we should only have about 10 or less weeks to go. It is amazing how fast this has all gone! It doesn't seem like nine months could be coming to an end. It is a little sad because you do only get a first time once and once it is gone its gone... but then it will be time to focus on all the firsts he will bring to our lives. Smiles, words, steps, and so many more! Really awesome! I will touch back soon.
