2 weeks to go

I have two weeks and 1 day until my due date and I could not be more excited! I can't wait to meet my son. The baby has definitely dropped and I have had an easier time breathing but more pressure and a strong urge to pee all the time!! I've had a few contractions but nothing consistent yet. My next appointment isn't till Oct. 5th but I will keep you all updated if anything happens before then.

Monday Night Football

Kelly has been waiting months to watch the Chargers play in Monday night football against the Raiders. It's been an interesting game in this house since we have a few Raiders fans and a few Chargers fans. He is yelling at the TV as I type this. I love that he gets so involved in the games...its cute. I can't wait till he can watch football with his son.

New Camera

I have been wanting to purchase an SLR for a while and finally decided to bite the bullet and get this one. Its a Canon Rebel T1I. I'm still learning to use it but thus far I LOVE IT! I'm glad I got it and I can't wait to take pictures of my little one with it.

This was the first photo I took with my new camera. Kiki (my nephew Nicholas, he calls himself Kiki) was a good sport about me chasing him around and taking pictures of him.

36 Weeks

I am officially 9 months pregnant and am definitely starting to get uncomfortable. I am having a lot of lower back/leg pain and I cannot sleep. I am SO ready for this baby to come out.

I am feeling really good about the fact that the baby is almost fully developed and would most likely be completely fine if he were born at this point. I am feeling very unprepared as far as "stuff" for the baby. A few wonderful ladies in my ward here are throwing me a baby shower tomorrow night. I'm so excited. Once we have the shower, my mom and I plan to do some shopping to make sure I have everything I need for my son's homecoming.

I'm getting really excited that he is coming soon and I think it is finally starting to sink in that I am going to be a mom.

34 Weeks

I am officially 6 weeks away from my due date and I can now say that my baby is due next month! I felt fabulous the entire second trimester and the first half of the third trimester but recently I have gotten pretty uncomfortable. I just feel really big and have had a lot of pain in my right leg, not to mention the fact that I am no longer sleeping very well. Maybe pregnant ladies can't sleep in order to prepare themselves for the lack of sleep after the baby comes (which I'm sure is much worse).

Last night I had a dream that he came out and ended up being a girl and I kept telling the doctor that it wasn't my baby. I kept trying to give the baby back and would not accept that the baby girl was mine. I'm pretty sure it was one of those dreams that has nothing to do with reality because I saw, very clearly, on the ultrasound his little package and there was absolutely no denying the anatomy!

Since babies are considered full term at 37 weeks, I would love it if he decided to make his debut a few weeks early. I know this is totally wishful thinking so I'm just telling myself that he will most likely come late. This way I won't go crazy if he decides to take his sweet time!
