I am officially down to less than a month or is that a month? hmmm well in any case I am 37 weeks today and I officially have found that I have crumbs on my belly and can set food and drinks on that 37 week belly while I work or watch TV (very convenient if I must say so myself...LOL). So I am sure most of you know that at 37 weeks, women are classified “full term” (also known as “ready to pop”, “could go any second”, or “any day now”), which means that developmentally, the baby should be prepared for arrival, even three weeks before the estimated due date (akkkkkkkkkkk).
I’m just not sure how we got here so fast. I feel like I was standing in the Publix aisle yesterday, and that the experience of the ultrasound was just a moment ago. I can recall family and friends reactions as if we just hung up the phone with them or telling them face to face. Those were very fun times.
Now things are pretty quiet, save for the crinkling of overindulgent packaging and bubble wrap that Babies R Us insists on for shipping even foam toys through the mail. Work deadlines have been met...for the most part...LOL
I’m so excited to meet this little guy, but no part of me is wishing for the end to come quickly. Even though I need Jordan's help to pull me out of bed in the morning or anytime for that matter, so I don’t have to get a rolling start by myself. But with all the pain and/or discomfort I feel I know I could still use the remaining time and I am certain that I’ll miss him moving around in there and the special feeling I feel all the time having this connection with him, just him and I, when pregnancy is over.
It goes so fast.
I have a feeling that this is just the first of many years of saying the same thing about plenty of what’s to come.
In June I had my baby shower thanks to the awesomeness family I have! My mom, Sonia, Bridgette, Caity, Kitty, Amber, and Sam did such an amazing job and I couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous one! So many of my dear friends were there that I just felt so blessed and comforted to have their support. It was a great time (even though we all know how nervous I was. LOL). Sonia did so much and I just want to especially thank her for all she did, for all she made to make it so cute...for the special invitations and well just everything and all the decorations she made. I know it took her so long and I do not want her to think it goes or went unnoticed. The bear below she made among so many other things and the theme of the party well it is written on the board with the bear (blush). Here are a few pictures from that day. The crib (and all that goes with it from head to toe) isn't set up but thank you so much mom and nanny for that gift! and to Sonya for the crib skirt and well again all you are making! LOL...and the bassinet, THANKS MOM, for that very awesome and thoughtful and exciting gift! We can't wait to use it (smile) he is going to look so cute and heaven like in it. Thank you all who came and for all the gifts JORDAN AND I can't THANK YOU enough we love you all so much and even if you didn't come we love you all the same and missed you being there!Theme of shower and yes Sonya cut and did everything for all the decorations...she's seriously nuts. LOL...in a great way!

It does go by SO fast and you will miss him kicking up a storm, but having him with you and getting to see him grow & develop, is something I would never trade for the world! You are too dang cute & I can't wait to see the little guy :)
