The Nursery

In all of the hard work this weekend, I finally finished put the nursery together. Well, almost together. There are still a few things we need to do, like hang the doors, now that they are painted, and we have door knobs and hinges. I been waiting as long as possible to put the crib together, since everything was all nice and clean. But since we are two weeks out, Mike figured we were close enough that I could do that. So that is one of the many things I did this weekend.

There are still finishing touches that need to be done, but pretty much the only thing missing from this room is little man. We are both so excited and can't wait for him to  make his entrance into the world and our lives. 

38 weeks and waiting

So here we are at 38 weeks. Things are still pretty uneventful, which is a good thing. I'm now going to see the midwife every week until little man gets here, which is always fun... As of last week everything was where it should be. My blood pressure was a little low, but nothing to get excited about. It was right before lunch, so my guess was that I was just hungry. When the midwife palpated my belly, she noticed that my pelvic bone was starting to spread at the top, which is a good sign that things are moving in the right direction, and would explain all of the lower pelvic pressure that I was having last week. 


As for this week, it's been pretty normal. I worked around the house all weekend, while  Mike was up at the lake working on the new dock. Call it nesting, or just that things needed to get done, whatever you choose. I don't know if all the activity has jumped started little man, but I keep telling him that he can start this process any day. Both his mommy and daddy are ready to meet him, along with a long list of other people. We both know he will get here when he's ready, but that doesn't mean that we would like it to be as soon as possible. :)

As we wait for little man, momma continues to grow and grow...

My big ole belly, with my now officially outtie belly button. The old saying goes, once the timer pops out, it's done right??

Oh I never thought I could get this big....

36 weeks

Well, here we are at the 36 week mark. It's crazy how fast the time has gone by. It's hard to believe that I will officially be full term the first part of next week. The time has flown by. I'm heading to the doctor tomorrow for what starts appointments every week...blah..not that I want to drive to downtown Lexington every week, but that means that we are that much closer to meeting our little guy. :) 


This week our little guy is putting on an ounce a day. He is weighing in at roughly 6 pounds and is more than 18.5 inches long. That's why my belly is feeling so tight these days! Poor little man is running out of room. Grammy and Papa came into town last week for the summer. That is exciting. It was good to see them again, and that means that summer is on it's way. We're heading for a great many weekends at the lake with our new little family.

The scrubs still hide the true size of the belly...

Now you see how big, and odd shaped it has become. 

Just look at the big ole belly!!
