Getting Ready

Taken by my very talented sister at my baby shower.  See her blog for more! 

After finding an apartment, moving, and baby showers 1 and 2 (both of which were so amazing and so fun - I am very blessed), it suddenly dawned on me the other night that the next big event on my list is the event. 

Have the baby. 

Everything in the past few months has led up to this event and now that it's finally almost here, things feel pretty surreal.  And although I might be a tad nervous about becoming a mother (I like to think most first time mothers are?), I am also extremely excited.  

Luckily, I still have plenty to do to keep me distracted until he comes, since I still get the feeling that he's not going to be showing up for at least a little while longer.  

My task today?  Washing, folding and organizing all of his miniature size clothes.  However, this is not really helping to distract me since all I can think about is actually putting him in them.  

Soon enough.  Soon enough.  

Thirty Seven Weeks

I am 37 weeks and definitely feelin' it.

37 weeks!  That's full-term, people.

And in honor of my being full term on this Valentine's Day, I grace you with this 37 week belly shot.  Which I long procrastinated taking for obvious reasons. 

 But, I gave in because some day I will want to remember what I look like.  

Technically, this little boy could come any time now.

My opinion?  He's not going anywhere for a while.

Although he's making life increasingly more uncomfortable for his mommy with every passing day, I think he's quite content and cozy in there right now.  

I don't think he'll grace us with his presence until his due date or sometime after.  

But you know what?  That's okay with me. 

I don't think I've quite reached the oh-my-gosh-just-get-this-child-out-of-me-before-I-explode point, yet.  

For now, I'll enjoy these last couple of weeks with just him and me, and no one else.

And, I'll enjoy these last few weeks with a certain husband of mine.  

Just he and I, and no one else.  

(Precious, right? :) P.S. Too bad we can't even hug this close right now...)

Happy Valentines Day!
