39 Weeks and counting...

Here is our 39th week update:

We have moved into our new place!!!! It has been a mad dash to get everything set up before baby comes but we have pretty much unpacked everything which feels wonderful!

We have also been busy getting our place ready for our home birth and our lives ready for our little one's arrival. We, as of yesterday, got the birth tub set up and we officially have all the supplies we need. I have been cooking A TON stocking our fridge and freezer so I wont have to cook for a couple weeks after baby is born. I am still working despite the fact that the guys at the office are now completely uncomfortable with me being there. For some reason, they think that they are going to personally have to help me if I go into labor.

Andy is loving working. He is also trying to help me as much as possible and is daily wondering just when am I going to go into labor.

I am wondering this as well. I have been having "early labor" symptoms for weeks and am ready to get the real thing going! I am huge, uncomfortable, and excited to finally hold my little guy! 

Our next post will hopefully be pictures of our little dude. For now here are some pics of my enormous belly!
Here I am barefoot and 9 months pregnant cooking away in my pretty apron
I love it!

Here is the big belly!

one month later...

Well we have had a crazy month...

It has been rather warm here- averaging in the mid 90's so, of course, we have been having lots of pool parties

We have had an amazing time with our friends Rocky and Jill, Nick, Curt and Jen, , and Nicole, Alex and Harper all visiting us at different times in July! We have been missing our friends and this definitely helped! 

I was also given an amazing baby shower here! It was so much fun getting to spend time with everyone there and little guy received a lot of great things!

These are the WONDERFUL ladies that threw me the shower

I also celebrated my 25th birthday. Andy and I took a lot of time for ourselves that weekend seeing as that may be some of the last alone time we get for a little while :) We also celebrated with family and friends. It was a great birthday!

Lastly, baby has keeping up with his amazing growth pattern! I am now at 36 weeks but am measuring at 39 weeks! Needless to say he might be a big boy! 

Me at 33 weeks
Me at 35 weeks on my 25th birthday!

As busy as July was August is going to definitely outdo it. We are currently busy with packing for our move into our own place on the 6th! Then we will be getting ready for the arrival of our little one sometime in the next few weeks!!! As Andy would say- GET PUMPED!!!!!!!!
