38 Weeks...

Wow 38 weeks already. I definitely look like I am about to pop! I can't quite say I am ready though, but when will I ever be fully ready! There is a lot of unknown that comes with having a baby! What kind of baby will he be? Will he be a peaceful baby or a colicky baby? But there is no point in thinking about it too much! I am just trying to be half prepared for anything!

Even my hospital bag is only half ready! I pack better under pressure anyway! The nursery is slowly coming along... still more laundry to do and lots of organization! Plus we need to buy a crib mattress and change pad! I do love not working, so far! I didn't think I would, I am a person who loves schedules but if there isn't one, I get so lazy and lethargic! But my last three weeks have been packed!

I had a wonderful shower thrown for me last friday, it was lots of fun! I was amazed at all the wonderful gifts I got! I sat down afterward and wrote out all the things we need now and was shocked at how small the list is!

How far along? 38 Weeks
Total weight gain: 37 lbs
Maternity clothes? Well in this picture I am wearing a non maternity outfit... but that is a very rare thing!
Stretch marks? They are starting to spread... oh no!
Sleep: Off and on... last night was so great... but that may have been since Ben was away and I had the whole bed to myself!
Best moment this week: Baby kicking none stop for 30 minutes... which is very rare for him to do! I think either he missed Daddy or he is really getting tired of being so squished!
Miss Anything? Working out! With all this time off I would love to just go for a long run!
Movement: Lots! enough said!
Food cravings: Cheeseburgers
Anything making you queasy or sick: not really
Gender: BOY!!!!
Labor Signs: Pelvis pain and increased braxton hicks!
Belly Button in or out? In... I dunno if it will ever pop...
Wedding rings on or off? Off... i hate it
Happy or Moody most of the time: Tired... but happy
Looking forward to: Coming home with baby

36 Weeks... Oh How Time Flies!

This post is a couple days late but I am still recovering! 3 Weeks and 3 Days is a long long time to be away. Not to mention 8 days away from Ben! But I am finally home, and I am loving it. Nesting is amazing and tiring but going through all the baby clothes was so much fun. 

Christmas was busy, but oh so much fun. Lots of late nights and laughs. We started off our vacation having a big party with our friends. It was so good to re-connect with many of them we haven't seen in a few years. 

Then family Christmas' started, back and forth, back and forth. There were many times where I imagined Baby T crawling in among the wrapping and his cousins helping him open all his gifts. I know next Christmas will be so different and I cannot wait! 

The Abrahams Family, just missing the Stewarts:<

The Timmermans Family

Then once Christmas was all over..... it was time to get ready for Amy's Wedding! It was such a fun weekend but exhausting! We stayed in a gorgeous suite at The Red River Rock Casino & Resort in Richmond which was perfect. The entire bridal part got ready there and it was a blast!

The wedding was so much fun and the groomsmen were such gentlemen when it came to helping us girls in our high heels! Taking pictures was quite chilly but from the few pictures I have seen the Photographer (James Lissimore Photography) it was worth being cold!

By the time I fell into bed at 3am I was ready for my own bed!

Me and my best friend, Amy, the Beautiful Bride!

The gorgeous heels the entire Bridal Party wore! 

The Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Vancouver they got married in. 

You can't tell we are cold can you!?
