For This Life It Is A Changing

so time is growing so so so close for the little man to arrive! Could be 5 weeks could be 9 weeks, I am hoping for 9 (smile) I just don't want to give him up! LOL. I felt and feel so close to him today, closer than I have so far and that is a super awesome feeling (smile). I am 32.5 weeks now. The doctor said a few weeks ago I am already dropping...lol...but in my nervousness I never asked what that meant. Whenever Jordan and I go to the doctors we have all these questions right? Then when we are there and he is ready and whiling to answer any and all they just slip our mind! LOL. We did remember one question to ask him and well that is about the little mans surgery he'll have to have soon after birth (wink wink) Jordan did all this research on it so he would know what the doctor was talking about and if what Jordan wanted to do Dr. Cazes would too. Which he did and Jordan and I were relieved that we were all on the same page. Oh and we think we found a pediatrician after much searching, we just have to go down there and meet him and see the place. But we both really like him so far. We go and get our last sono this Friday and it is going to be crazy to see our little man because the last time we saw him, I believe, was 18 weeks? He is still moving a lot but now I know which body part is what and he definitely prefers to lay on his left side and for the past month or two he has found a nice position of where he likes his elbow to rest, he likes his arm nestled about an itch or two to the left of my belly button where his elbow just gives me a tooth ache for many hours of my day. That's the only way I can describe it, a tooth ache, yes this is what it feels like I believe. Sometimes I have a headache all over my belly from my ligaments which are still trying to stretch which isn't fun but I love it and it isn't as bad as I had thought it would be. I mean I hurt a lot but the pain isn't as bad YET. I am hoping and crossing my fingers that I have a high pain tolerance. LOL. I have decided as well to try and go as far as I can without an epidural so we shall see.

Jordan and I had our birthing class yesterday from 9-5 and we were both not looking forward to that long day BUT when it was all said and done it was a great class and we are glad we went. We are going to look into donating his umbilical cord blood as well. We don't want to spend 3K on saving it for our family but if it's free to help someone else why the heck not!

Here is a few pictures I took yesterday.


So we got our car seat, well we have a infant one which we got for free from our friend who is done with it! But we also got a convertible one I have been dieing to have just so that I know we don't have to buy anymore :) Thanks to my lovely friend Amy Schmeichel who snagged me the last one that was on sale this past week! We got it for a sweat price of $60! what a spaken hot diggity low price! This is what it sort of looks like. I am not sure what color or anything (not that I care, I'd put our son in a pink one LOL for that price) but it's a Britax Convertable which is what I had researched and picked out as the one I wanted and registered for! LOL so needless to say I have taken it off the registry! CHECK!
Toodles!

I am so excited for you! The car seat looks so comfy! And I agree with Kassi! I am so ready for Jack to be out now. I pray he comes early every day!

I am finally reading some blogs again. Fun to catch up on the pregnancy! Your little guy will add so much love to your family, but you will pay for that in lack of sleep--ha ha! We have a Britax and I CANT BELIEVE you got it for that price! We paid like $250. You are right about using it no matter what the color--LOL! Enjoy your last weeks...
