37 weeks....

I had another appointment this afternoon at 37 weeks 3 days. Baby is growing and sounded great. My doctor said that they will probably have to do a csection anyway to get this baby out of me! So, I guess we are still waiting for May 12. I'm not too sure he is going to be coming sooner than that. So, exactly 2 weeks from today we will be holding our little boy for sure.

I am feeling ready. Physically, emotionally....just ready. I'm tired of being tired (have I ever mentioned that before??), tired of the contractions that aren't doing anything, tired of people I don't know constantly making comments about the belly (A BIG thank you goes to the lady at McDonald's today who stated, and I quote" WHOAAAAAAAA lady! You are BIG!!" that is always what you want to hear), tired of being so stinkin' grumpy all the time.

I just don't feel like myself. My doctor said that even though we want this baby out so bad.....a newborn isn't all it's cracked up to be. (She just had a baby around the same time my sweet little nephew was born, so I think she is still going on few hours of sleep...). But I don't care about all that newborn stuff.

I can't wait to get up and see his sweet face and hold his sweet little body. And just smell him.....well the good smells if you know what I mean. I'm ready. We're ready. He's not. *sigh*

So we wait. Knowing God's timing doesn't necessarily have to be our own. This pregnancy has taught me a lot about being faithful and trusting. (Not that I had a hard time before with it....but God has opened my eyes to how much more I need to just lean on him)

Funny that that name we have had picked out for him means just that..."faithful"

More Sneak Peaks

We are getting so close to being done with his room!! I can't believe we are going to fill this room with a little bundle in just two months. It's crazy. We are so excited to meet you little man....and your big brother is so excited to kiss you. We love you peanut!

24 weeks and counting

I am officially in my 25th week! whoo hoo! These pictures were taken on Saturday when I turned 24 weeks. It feels good to be at this point...it just means that in 3 months or less this little man will be here. I cannot wait to hold him and see him, and just snuggle him. Soak in all that baby cuteness and good smells....awww....it's going to be soon!

Anyway,

here is my and my grandpa (peanut and Luke's great grandpa) getting a belly shot together.


and then he asked my mom to take a "serious" picture of him, ya know, without him sticking his gut out. He was seriously making me laugh so hard!


And then we needed one with my stepdad...Papaw Jeff!

And then Luke had to get in on the action. But apparently he can only kiss the baby when my shirt is pulled up. He does it everytime.

We ordered peanut's crib and dresser last night from JC Penny and they should be in very soon. Which makes me so excited because I am feeling like I need to get everything done! I never really had that "nesting" experience with Luke. Maybe it's because I felt like I had all the time to get it done (even though he came 4 weeks early) because it was just me and Brandon. Now I feel like I am running out of time!

We need to move Luke's room upstairs with the baby, get the baby furniture, set it up, decorate their rooms, move the closets around, move the office to the other bedroom since Luke is taking the office upstairs, and then make Luke's old room into the playroom, and make the dining room what it was intended to be! AGH! stresses me out to think about it all. I know it will all come together, and that it really won't take a lot of time, especially because I will have Brandon to help me and my mom and sister have offered to help too. It's just knowing that I won't be able to do as much as I want since my belly just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger.....and I get tired quicker already! It will all come together. right????
