Yup...still hanging in...

Ok...so for those of you who are wondering...NO...there is no baby yet! And for those of you whom have had the pleasure of being a "Lady in Waiting", one of the worst questions you can ask is "Are you still pregnant??!!" What do you think the answer is going to be??!!!

From day one, months ago now, almost everyone said that we would go early and I would never go the full 40 weeks...well, WRONG!!! I think that I let myself believe everyone and now I have made myself anxious and very impatient...that will teach me for listening to other's opinions...lol!!!

So...we will let you know as soon as we know!!!

39 weeks...

Wow...almost time...1 more week to go and we will be FOUR!!!! We are so very excited and ready...Maddie asks every day when the baby is coming?!! I wish I knew Honey...is what I tell her!! I am feeling great but I won't lie...this heat is toooooo much for this Big Momma!!! It makes me a little grumpy:)) I keep myself going by saying it will only be 2 weeks maximum!!! Our doctor's appointment went well yesterday and I made one more for next week but we are hoping I won't need to use...We would love our little baby to come NOW!!!! So, if you could all pray and do a dance for us we would really appreciate it!!!

Ready...Set...COME ON!!!!

So we know it isn't exactly a completely finished project...but we are ready!!! We aren't going to paint until we meet the baby and Mark is working on putting the doors up right now!!!

Everything is washed, cleaned and waiting...and waiting...do you sense a small bit of excitement??!!! (Or maybe impatience?!)

38 weeks...

Nothing new to report this week...we had our doctor's appointment yesterday and everything seems to remain the same...My weight hasn't changed in over a month and my belly didn't grow this week...I am unable to sleep at night now, which happens to every expectant Mom and the Braxton Hicks contractions seem to always be here...which you learn to live with after a few weeks...When we think about it all, in only a few short weeks we will be holding our newest addition to our family, which is very exciting:))))))

37 weeks...

Ok...so the countdown is on!!! 3 weeks left to go and we are all ready!!! My appointment went well this week...no weight gain in almost a month, and my belly grew 2 cms in a week...I had a few minor complaints to make because this baby, not unlike their sister has found a very comfy spot on my sciatica nerve...not so lovely. It takes away from being able to sleep or do much of anything comfortably!! And the Braxton Hicks contractions are now a normal part of my every day life...I wish I had abs of steel like this all the time...ha ha ha!! However, I know soon enough we will be holding our new little addition and all these minor issues will be history!!! The doctor told me that baby is all ready and I kindly asked how to speed things along, he smiled and said just wait:))...Always easier said then done, the last few weeks of waiting seem so unfair!! Hee hee!!!

35 weeks!!!

So, we are 35 weeks and with only 5 more to go (ish!!) we are getting all of the last minute stuff out of the way!! (Remember my picture taker is 5 so the first one is on a bit of an angle!!) Maddie and I have been busy making sure the baby has clean blankets, toys, clothes etc. for when he/she arrives!! I have our bags packed and ready to go...I think we are all set!!

My appointment with the doctor went well yesterday and he just reminded me of what to do when something happens...he told me to get there as quick as possible because he feels things will happen faster this time! The baby is in position and my belly is still growing well!! I put 3lbs on since my last appointment 3 weeks ago...He was very happy with everything!! I now go and see him every week...the time is flying by and before we know it we will (finally!!!) get to meet our new little bundle of baby!!! Maddie asks me almost every day when the baby is coming...not long now!!

25 Weeks and Growing...

Here are some more pics of our growing baby belly!!! 15 weeks left to go and still feeling good! This baby is very active...I am not sure if they ever sleep!! I was at our dr's this week and he asked me if we were sure there was only one??!! HA HA HA!!! I told him that we've checked twice already, he said I am measuring a little big, which doesn't surprise me because I did with Madalynn too. Other than that, things are moving along very well and he is happy with everything else.

It is hard to believe that it is almost April and we only have 3 months to go...we have a lot of work to get done in those 3 months!!
