5 1/2 weeks to go...




I can't believe I will be turning 35 weeks this weekend. That's only 5 weeks left to go. I've had a hunch that I will go early. Some people say wishful thinking - but for some reason, I just think she's going to come a little bit earlier than her due date. Only God knows!

The nursery is almost ready - just a some misc things here & there to put away. My mom is making her bedding so I have to mail the fabric to her ASAP! Once the bedding is done, it will look complete. (Oh, except for the squeeking glider that Michael is supposed to fix) We got it on Craigs for $40! bought new cushions - but it has this horrible squeek. So hopefully he'll do that soon (not soon enough for me - I'm totally nesting)

Michael and I set up the baby monitor the other night. We had fun "testing" it. One of us would go into our bedroom, while the other one stayed in the nursery & made baby noises & cried. Then of course we would have to "out-do" each other & make more dramatic baby noises & more realistic cries. It was pretty funny :) I'm sure Zeus thought we were crazy.

Speaking of Zeus - it was his 9th birthday on 3/11! I can't believe he's 9! After Rosie died, he hasn't quite been himself. It's really sad - he lost his buddy and it's like he doesn'te quite know what to do with himself. I think he needs a good day at the dog park to socialize.

I've definitely popped out more in the last few weeks. Baby is getting BIG - I can't tell she doesn't have as much room to move around. My stomach just moves in waves sometimes - just random body parts popping out. I've definitely gotten more uncomfortable. Side-sleeping has not been enjoyable & I finally just started propping myself up - so I pretty much sleep "sitting-up" every night. Then, I have my nightly potty break - man my body is going thru a lot! I'm surprised I haven't seen stretch marks yet - but I can feel them coming... they are coming...

I can't wait to see what she looks like - I wonder what her little personality will be like? I'm so grateful God has allowed me to experience this and entrusts me with her life. It's awesome!

The last pic is michael, me & zeus (chillin, I'm @ 33 weeks). I think I'm just about ready to print out all my 'belly' pics and start working on my scrapbook page! :)

BTW - I was laughing so hard that I woke Parker up when I was reading about you testing out your monitor!
