Until our little girl's expected arrival!!!

36 weeks today and I'm feeling pretty dang great! Just the normal aches and pains and not able to move around as well. However, I can still beat Lance at mini-golf so I think I'm doing pretty well!
[edit: this is Lance, no she can't, we're tied 1-1, we still need to play the tie-breaker]

Its officially my last week of work, I'll be done on Friday! 

According to my handy-dandy pregnancy app, she is now the size of a Crenshaw Melon, and because I have absolutely no idea what that is I have provided a picture below:

For some odd reason this picture makes me think of the Lion King, when Simba is held up at the beginning. 

Anyways....

We are both ecstatic and can't wait to meet her.

Lance is becoming extremely baby happy and I love seeing how excited he is. He is going to be the BEST dad! 

The doctor told us to start getting everything ready because she can come any day now. This freaked us me out so I tried convincing Lance that we needed to put the car seat in the car, we compromised for the trunk. It made me feel better and a little more prepared! 

We sure hope these 4 weeks go by fast! 

34 Weeks

34 weeks down, only 6 more to go! This is getting crazy! Only 42 more days to go till she is due. Lance and I were looking at a calendar the other day and realized she could come as early as July 3rd and be full term. I'm starting to panic a bit because I feel we are no where near ready for her!!

I'm definitely starting to tell that she is getting ready to come. The aches and pains are starting to intensify and she is getting stronger by the day, not to mention a lot larger. She loves to play in my ribs. 

Since we are down to the final 6 weeks of pregnancy we have decided we really need to start finalizing on the name we are going to give her. Lance came up with a BRILLIANT idea that we have been doing for the past couple days. Each week we pick one of the final two names and we refer to her as that and nothing else. This way we can get a feel of how it is going to be to call her that. 

This weeks name is Brooklyn. 

Next week we will call her Haylee and see how that feels. It's been so weird to actually be calling her a real name instead of baby girl, little girl, or any other nickname we have come up with. 

We can't wait to meet her! 

Most of our conversations now days are all about her. What we think she will look like, who we think she will most look like, what her personality will be like, how she will be when she grows up, what we hope she will be like, what sports she will play, etc. We are absolutely head over heels for this little girl and can't wait for her to be here! 

Goodbye to Sleep

It's official, I can no longer sleep through the entire night. I'm up at least twice a night, either running to the bathroom or so uncomfortable that I just lay there wide awake listening to Lance snore, envying him and his ability to sleep. 

It started a week ago, I thought it was a one time thing but after happening every night...it's time to tell my peaceful full nights of sleep goodbye. And with a baby arriving next month...I'm not going to have those nights return for a VERY long time. 

It was nice while it lasted. :)
