35 weeks - August is here!

Is it really August? It seems unreal to be writing the date these days. Pregnancy can be so crazy...you go from feeling as though your due date is a world away to counting down the days and wrapping up all of the last minute preparations. Boy it's been so much fun though. To be completely honest, despite how uncomfortable I'm starting to feel, i'm still not ready for this pregnancy to be over. It's so neat to be carrying another life....to feel movements...to bond in a way that I can't properly describe in the correct words.

I'm starting to have more and more braxton hicks contractions and can just tell that it's getting closer and closer. I can just feel my body changing daily for upcoming labor. I can't wait to go to my doctor's appointment this week and find out if he's dropped any and make sure he's still in good position.

We've had a lot of fun this week putting together all of his things and finishing up washing all of his stuff. He's officially got more clothes than Randy and I combined yet I'm still having a hard time trying to decide what he'll wear home from the hospital. I'm hoping I get that figured out this weekend.

Other than last minute stuff we're pretty much going to spend this last precious month relaxing and anxiously waiting for your arrival. I'm going to try and relish these last couple of week's with it being just your Daddy and I as much as I can. We've been just the two of us for 7 years now so it's going to be such a big change...a change that we are SO READY FOR!
