40 Weeks

And still counting.....hopefully the little guy decides to come in the next few days. :-)

38 Weeks

2 weeks left, we can hardly believe it. Here is a recent picture:

35 (1/2) weeks

Time is flying by so fast. My ticker today says 30 days left. That is just so crazy. The little guy is doing well. He has hiccups every day (sometimes twice a day). He also likes to jab me in the ribs (I think with his feet.) It is not very comfortable but I can deal with it. I am getting more tired but I am still sleeping okay so I am thankful for that. Here is a new picture:

33 Weeks

We have made it to 33 weeks. It is amazing that we only have 7 weeks left. We start going to the Doctor every other week now. Last week we started our birthing classes. So far we are happy with them. We feel more comfortable with what to expect so that is a good feeling. I had my baby shower a couple weeks ago. It was so nice to see everyone and everyone was so generous. Because of all the generous gifts we feel much more prepared - we have a lot of the things we will need for him. The little guy is still an acrobat but I think he is loosing space fast. I can tell because I feel pretty crammed myself. Sometimes it is really difficult to get comfortable sitting, standing or laying down. I think my comfort level is just going to continue to get worse but I can't complain. I have had it pretty easy up until now.

31 Weeks

Well this is my belly at 31 Weeks. It has definitely grown. The little guy has been an acrobat lately. He has been moving around all over the place. I wish I could see what he is up to in there.

29 Weeks

Here is a picture - finally. It is not a profile so it hard to see the size of my belly. I think I look bigger in person than I do in this picture. Although I suppose I could have grown since this picture was taken last weekend. I am finally to the point where it is very obvious that I am pregnant. Strangers ask me when I am due, if I know what I am having etc.

I am still feeling pretty good but that is definitely changing as I get bigger. It is harder to get comfortable sitting down and laying down. The baby has been moving around a lot lately. He better enjoy it while it lasts. As he grows there is a lot less room in there. :-)

We have finally started thinking about names. We are planning to have a "short list" when he is born and then we will decide on his name once we see him. Unfortunately that means no one (including us) will know his name before he is born.
